They knew it wouldnt be ready with one season move, but if they had asked for 1.5 seasons away it would have been no you will have to move for 2 So make it look as though its behind then blame safetyThe original schedule was farcical, they should have aimed to have it finished in June if they wanted it ready for this season.
Maybe, but he's being over-ambitious in my opinion and that's what reminds me of PS. It's looking like a nice stadium but they're a club that's always appeared bigger than what they really are. Two league titles in 100 years is a poor return. I just have a feeling this will set them back for years, not that I care, they're #3 on my hate list.Agreed. Comparing Levy to Swales is completely OTT. You only have to compare the Umbro Stand to what WHL will look like to appreciate that.
.....on course to open on 15th September ........ such delays are commonplace.
Exactly. Other teams have pulled the away fixture trick at the start of the season before but when they've had delays the projects due to finish early summer. You can't schedule a construction project needed ready for August 11th to be finished for the end of September (the very latest possible date it could be ready and used for the league) and not take full responsibility when it's delayed.They knew it wouldnt be ready with one season move, but if they had asked for 1.5 seasons away it would have been no you will have to move for 2 So make it look as though its behind then blame safety
Agreed - there's not much time available. Chances are they they wont reschedule straight away and they'll hope we both get knocked out of the League Cup. If not, we'll have to play it whenever a date becomes available in the 2nd half of the season. We would have had a similar issue fitting games in had we got to the FA Cup Final last year.If either City or Spurs remain in the League Cup, FA Cup or Champions League then the game probably can't be played till April. There is no free space in the match schedule this season - except for FA Cup replay dates.
Nope. If a game gets postponed we as supporters have to suck it up. Its shit but it happens.As to train tickets and hotels if the match date changes, then Spurs have to pay up - not just to City fans either! The fixture has been announced. Of course the Premier League could shaft us like UEFA did - but I'm not sure they'll be able to get away with it.
Show me an example of that happening in a professional league, or even show me "the rules". I believe you're wrong.If the match can't be played somewhere that weekend then if they go by the rules applied to lower league clubs then it's a match forfit.
Yes just reading the relevant sections myself. The really bad news is if the game is postponed Spurs don't have to pay compensation to the fans or the away club (section L). So with Levy in the mix guess what?PL rule K.6.4 says they can't give consent for a permanent or temporary move unless (among other things) it "would not have a material adverse effect on Visiting Clubs".
I've been fucked over £70 for my train ticket...Yes just reading the relevant sections myself. The really bad news is if the game is postponed Spurs don't have to pay compensation to the fans or the away club (section L). So with Levy in the mix guess what?
It'll be a 3 point deduction for each fixture they fail to fulfil. The precedent was set with Middlesbrough back in the 90s.
You can if you’re a media darling club.Exactly. Other teams have pulled the away fixture trick at the start of the season before but when they've had delays the projects due to finish early summer. You can't schedule a construction project needed ready for August 11th to be finished for the end of September (the very latest possible date it could be ready and used for the league) and not take full responsibility when it's delayed.
I was seeing a deputy headteacher a couple of years back, so I can confirm there is such a thing as class action in the UK.Incidently as Spurs have never had a safety certificate for the stadium a "class action" to reclaim money lost due to train ticket and hotel bookings is a slam dunk - especially as the fixture date had been properly published - i.e.rearranged for TV - the sign that the match will actually take place.
(Note: There is in reality no such thing as a "class action" in the UK - though there are Group Litigation orders that apply here.)
Same here mate, ****s!Booked train tickets last week aswel, take it theres zero chance of fans getting refunded...
I bow to your more expert knowledge here but I thought they're called "Group Litigation" in the UK - not quite the sledgehammer they are in the US though.I was seeing a deputy headteacher a couple of years back, so I can confirm there is such a thing as class action in the UK.
