Spurs’ new stadium

[BlueAnorak]

The lines on the pitch would still be visible for the NFL game which the yanks wont be pleased about, but more importantly its a Champions League week and I think us and Spurs will be one TV pairing (with United and Liverpool the other), ultimately meaning one of us will be playing on the Wednesday (possibly away in Russia).

0% chance of us playing this on the Friday anywhere.

I think;
Plan A - play at the new stadium as planned
Plan B - move the NFL game to Twickenham, and move us to Wembley
Plan C - reverse the fixtures
Plan D - play our game anywhere else (West Ham, or even Milton Keynes which was as a mooted temporary home for Spurs during reconstruction)
Plan E - postpone the game to later in the season.

Plan C or E would be particularly bad for us.

Plan B is untenable as is Plan D.
Plan C is only possible if the games are rearranged by 28th August.
Plan E? Absolutely no chance. Why should we have a fixture pile up due to Spur's incompetence?
I think I'd rather go for a new plan, Plan F - Give City 3 points and a 3-0 win because Spurs can't fulfill the fixture.
In fact I think the match will have to be rearranged by 28th of August otherwise it's WHL or Plan F.

who in their right mind at spurs thought the stadium would be ready for the first few games of the season, piss up brewery !

any games before xmas will be a bonus

They were supposed to build 2 of the stands while the Rest of WHL was still there. But they only partially built them because of construction problems.

Wouldn't plan f ruin our goal difference?

There are no games on at the Ethiad that weekend so we could let spurs use our ground!

Brings back memories of our first public testing in the Etihad. It was the first day I sat in my new seat in the East Stand. We sat around for 30 minutes or so and then on the signal we had to stand up and leave promptly in an orderly fashion.

Was it around the 82nd minute?

Well that's a plan G.

For a healthy fee.

78th.

The likelihood is that Scudamore will give spurs the 3 points and deduct us 12 points due to being penciled in to play spurs knowing full well there stadium wouldn't be ready.

The PL will order it to be played at Spurs training ground behind closed doors... with just several hundred 'invited' spud fans... sorry I mean guests of the club sponsors
