Spurs’ new stadium

Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham are all away that weekend so there will be plenty of decent-sized football grounds in London not hosting other matches. MK Dons are also playing away (their stadium having been mentioned as a possibility, too). I don't see any excuse for not playing this game on the scheduled date as a Spurs home fixture.
 
Given the amount of dodgy decisions given against us playing Spurs in the last few years I think we should be awarded the three points and our fans reimbursed.
 
The whole deduct Spurs points (3, 6, 10 - take your pick) for this (admittedly mainly from Arsenal and Liverpool fans) is a bit desperate and unlikely particularly as the FA and the Premier League have been involved in the whole process.

My completely uninformed guess is the game will be postponed.

I honestly can't see why it can't take place at the London Stadium on the scheduled date at the scheduled kick-off time. That would eradicate any issues for City fans who have already forked out for travel (and I daresay some Spurs fans don't live local to London so may have shelled out already too). It's also got a similar capacity to the new WHL so all their season ticket holders should be accomodated, plus they don't have to hold their nose about the prospect of playing it at the Emirates. It would also save pissing around with the fixture list.

It's a no-brainer really.

Agreed pal - posted same suggestion earlier - by far the best choices of options available

If the game is postponed Spurs should definitely be deducted points, other teams shouldn't suffer because of Spurs' mistakes. If they can't find a suitable venue then they really should forfeit.

Probably because the WHU fans will take serious umbrage and there'll be trouble at the game.

Hammers fans can do one - their club doesn't own or manage (unlike City) the stadium and use it at a nominal rent.

They will do one unfortunately if Spurs play at home in their ground. Don't really give a fuck what their arrangement on the stadium is tbh, fair dues to them for getting a favourable one and tbf the thing would only be unused otherwise.

Seeing that many of us have paid for transport and hotels I agree. Could also play at Stamford Bridge and keep the KO at 4pm.u

Agree. Has to be same time, same day, and in London, unless the FA plans on refunding everyone for their travel plans?!

I agree. Plus, by all accounts under the terms of their lease with London Council, West Ham only have access to the stadium for matchdays. It's hardly their 'home' when compared to other PL clubs. Can't see why Spuds playing there for one game would be a big deal.
