Spuds stadium delay.

The main contractor will almost certainly be facing a massive late completion charge, so they’ll be ****ing desperate.

 

The problem may be with getting an extra 24,000 people away from the area. I may be wrong, but i’m not sure if the transport upgrades are finished. Those who live near may be able to throw some light on this.

 

Safety systems apparently

Shame. I think we were the first visitors?

Was looking forward to Keita making Alli look like a mug.

 

West Ham style protests called for, make it happen.

 

Tbh this is a constuction issue and has nothing to do with the club or Levy not using enough staff.

I have some sympathy as the safety aspect has to be spot on...so if there's a delay it's preferable to people being hurt etc.

The club have not handled this well in terms of announcements or compensating season ticket holders who faced £200 price rises this year.

I am a member (one hotspur plus) as are my girls so get to buy tickets a couple of days before one hotpur members so it doesn't really affect me (apart from the disappointment) as I do not have a regular seat each time I go (about 10-25 matches per season).
I guess season ticket holders will be angry (after coughing up extra money but still playing at wembly) and also a bit wound up as they have to wait even longer to find out what the seat they have been allocated is like and what ghose sitting around them will be like.

The club should given them a refund for each match plus the £200 rise as a good will gesture in my opinion.

I looked at their live images last week of the stadium, and said it wouldn’t be ready.

If that’s the case I’m not sure I blame him. I know a couple of riggers and steel fitters who worked on both Wembley and the Emirates. The money they made on both jobs, often for turning up on a Sunday and going home after an hour having done no work, was obscene.

 

I only asked on their board on Sunday if it was going to be ready and they still seemed pretty confident then

 

A London based project board misses a deadline? Noooooo surely not.

****ing pansies, they all deserve a kick in the balls and an extra one in the face for Mongo Levy.

 

It was always going to be a huge ask to build a 60,000 seater on the same site and to play only one season 'away'.

Rumours that they want to use Wembley until the new year, they should be made to play the whole season there if that's the case.

 

How can I say I’m not surprised.

 

I thought the rule was just one game. i.e. A team cannot play any home games at more than one stadium in a season ?

 

I think you’re right actually, I posted that referring to an interview I’d heard on the radio when the fixtures were coming out, speaking about Spurs moving games, and they said they wouldn’t be allowed to play more than 2 at Wembley, but they were probably referring to the dispensation that they’d already agreed.

 

I'm not 100% on the rules, but I seem to remember that was the case. I don't think Spurs should be given special dispensation beyond playing some of their initial games away. And I'm not saying that purely because they are ****s. I just think it would be too disruptive to the season and create accusations of an unfair advantage/disadvantage for either the home or away team and inconsistency throughout the fixtures.

 

In 2015, they proposed to split their home games for last season between MK Dons and Wembley, and Scudamore told them that was completely unacceptable and reminded them of the one home ground rule.

In this circumstance I think it depends on how long the delay is going to be, if it’s going to drag on for another month plus beyond their original deadline, then I think the PL should tell them they’ll have to play the season as Wembley, but we both know that won’t happen, so the conversation is probably moot.

 

The delay lasts longer than a month, or that they won't tell them to play the season at Wembley ?

 

The latter mate.

 

Yeah agreed. It would **** up the Wembley schedule.

The FA should just dock spurs 20 points and be done with it
