    Clubs generally don't care about the fans, as long as they get the money. Any sort of compensation planned?

    They're giving back 1/19th of your season ticket price for every game that you don't want to go Wembley. Which in that respect would seem "fair" for those that don't go but considering I'll be going to the games, as will many others, it means I've essentially paid £200 extra to be going (at the moment) to a stadium I ****ing hate.

    So can you get into Wembley with your WHL season pass?

    Nah it’s paper only. Many still haven’t received their season tickets anyway due to the delay, I haven’t.

    Nah they've been refunded 1/19th of the cost for each game and will have to purchase any Wembley ticket.

    Some Liverpool ones are more expensive apparently...

    So you have to then buy a ticket or do they automatically send you one of you choose not to take the refund?

    Yeah basically have to submit details to purchase the tickets. For existing season ticket holders like me, I can choose to get the seat I had at Wembley last season for each game we’ll play there this season, new season ticket holders have to wait a day or two extra to then purchase their seat if they wanna go. If you don’t wanna go, the club puts the money into your spurs account and you can then either withdraw to your bank or keep it in there to put towards payment for next year’s season ticket.

    Cheers.

    Sounds like a bit of a pain if you weren’t a STH last season. The whole thing smacks of Levy putting a timescale on the build that was ultimately not capable of being delivered, with the driver being only having one season away from WHL. I pity the poor **** who put his name to it though.

    Not really tbh. If I'd kept going as I did as a youngster I'd be up in the 40's or 50's. Life changes things unfortunately.

    I've only been to a couple -most memorable was Kassam Stadium when I was bored in Oxford.

    It only has 3 stands - behind one goal is a fence where the car park is and players regularly kicked the ball over it and you could hear car alarms go off.

    The Dell
    St Mary's
    Pretty much all the London grounds I think, except The Valley for some reason.
    Villa Park
    The Hawthornes
    Old Trafford
    Anfield
    The DW Stadium or whatever it's called (Wigan).
    Scunthorpe United's old stadium
    The San Siro

    Some glaring omissions there tbh. Planning to add Brighton's new ground, plus Molineux, to that list this season.

    Of all the places you could visit in this country, Wolverhampton should be near the bottom of the list.

    Few modern grounds really worth seeing but I loved St James’s and Goodison. Both in good places for a night out too.

    Did Goodison in May and loved it, hoping to go one more time before they move. Might do St James this season.

    Brighton is the best new ground I've been to.

    Always had a soft spot for Wolves, **** knows why.

    St James' and Goodison both on my bucket list, as is Elland Road.

    You won’t when Austin is headbutting Hughes on the touchline in the rain when you’re 3-0 down and a family of unemployed chavs are spitting at you from the upper tier.
