New stadium thread

Hold on, just off to give a Baddiel-faced ****gibbon both barrels on Twitter...

 

I hope everyone realises that, as soon as we move in to the new ST/\DIUM, all we'll hear from commentators and pundits alike is how we've never won at that stadium...

 

Then on a Monday, Tuesday, etc. Then when it's raining, snowing, we're playing a Scottish team or the like.

 

I can't wait for 'Spurs only won the league because their pitch was playable when everyone else's was frozen up/waterlogged/other'.
'They would have never had won it with the Old White Hart Lane/Wembley. It's unfair, when all other fixtures are off, Spurs should be banned from playing as well'.

 

I'm certain we will move as soon as we can. It's costing money at Wembley and MP wan'ts into the new stadium.

 

This is a definite. Our remaining home fixtures include Palace, Brighton, Huddersfield and Everton. Brighton and Palace could be mid-week. We didn't get 30,000 for Watford mid-week and I doubt that we'd get many more for those games.

All those games would sell out in seconds in the new stadium, plus the advertising revenue could start to flow and it might well get us a real home game in the next CL round (nothing taken for granted).

 

Assuming Spurs do not lose in Dortmund, there are 7-8 weeks from
now to when the CL QF home leg would be played. IMHO that is the
current Levy target for getting new WHL opened (with any PL games
before then being a bonus) .

 

Nearly there...

It’s still not complete on the outside?

 

For comparison, here's what the east stand looked like in mid-January

So should be completely finished externally soon then?

 

Depends, is it windy today?

 

The external panelling is the last of their problems. Sorting this lot out is more likely our biggest issue...

 

Literally a "day in the life" of yer average SME networking centre.

 

Nice of the Premier League to give us a little bit more time to get things sorted...

 

Why have they compressed a potential Champions League week for us, again?
By making Brighton a Sunday game and Huddersfield an early Saturday, we're forced into another 3 games in 7 days scenario.
Even the kick-off times are as late as possible, followed by as early as possible. ****ers.

 

Er....to make it difficult for us?

 

I thought the club was meant to have officially complained after last time?
Either that never happened or they took no notice. Would be good to at least hear from the club confirming its the latter... .

 

Why do I get the feeling the latter is the case?

 

I'd also note that the Brighton match will be moved if they beat Millwall in the FA Cup.
It also can't take place at Wembley, as it's FA Cup Semi-final weekend.
