Suggestions on Skyscraper Community that people with premium seats have been told that there will be an email/announcement at 9am tomorrow about the stadium. There has been talk of partial refunds and use of Wembley for one home fixture after the September international break and possibly for the CL fixture that would be scheduled for Sep 18/19, although UEFA might be amenable to us playing that game away.......if there's anything to all of this.
This from The Times...
Tottenham are planning an announcement to coincide with tomorrow’s publication of next season’s Premier League fixtures, having been told by the League and the FA that they must inform them of their plans by the fixture release date.
The Premier League has given Tottenham the right to play their first three games away from home if required, as they have done to West Ham and Liverpool in recent seasons, but given that the club have given up on their new stadium being ready in time for the start of the next campaign they may opt to play at least one of these opening three fixtures at Wembley.
Tottenham have secured the right to play several matches at Wembley, but are not planning to disclose the precise number as the timeline of the stadium build remains fluid and they do not want to give any additional leeway to the construction team. The club are hoping to play their fifth match of the season at their new ground, when the Premier League resumes after the first international break on September 15, but are not in a position to guarantee that.
Tottenham’s ground and fixture-swapping plans have been endorsed by their Premier League rivals, with the league also willing to waive a rule that clubs must complete all of their home games at the same stadium, because of their willingness to support stadium improvements.
Tottenham will be given permission to play away in the third round of the Carabao Cup, and will be able to move a Champions League group game to Wembley if required.
Hmmmm. Not the announcement that might have been hoped for......we shall see what tomorrow brings. I wonder who we'll get at Wembley? I don't care who it is but I want another record attendance set.
