He probably will be, but remember, the game wasn't supposed to be played at Wembley. The FA aren't really responsible, as they would no doubt believe the pitch would have been fine for the next scheduled game there
Levy's silence on the state of the pitch, speaks volumes.
And he will remain silent, until one of his investments gets seriously injured.
But by then, if something does happen, he will have no one to blame but himself.
I am sure they would've known months ago that fixtures would be affected, yet he has done nothing to alleviate the problems and arrange a contingency plan.
Not so. There's various ways of getting around that and making a gesture. Slashing the price of the away tickets, paying for the coaches that are organised for those coming - all ways of making at least an effort toward recognising the inconvenience to the away club who are entirely blameless. There's more than one way to skin a cat to reach the desired outcome. Spurs have offered various packages to their own supporters, and told the away fans to foxtrot oscar. They did not have to do anything legally of course, and they chose not to, as is their right. And people can judge them for it.
You must be short of imagination then? Levy refused to compensate City fans. We are playing in the League Cup on Thursday night and have a game against Southampton on Sunday. These are unwanted knock-on effects to our season. All ignored by a media that thinks Levy walks on water whilst City are oil-barons polluting the English game
You’re a good poster mate, but on this you are blind.
The knock on effect of changing this game from Sunday to Monday has been many fold for City fans.
Not only have the original fans who bought travel and accommodation for this game out of pocket but its also had an impact on our following two games. I know plenty of people who organise their schedules well in advance and avoid obvious match days like Saturday/Sunday. This week they will have also freed up the Tuesday/Wednesday slots after we beat Oxford. Many have already made commitments to travel and accommodation for this Saturday to see us play Southampton, and that’s not including the problem for the Southampton fans, as the game was not scheduled for TV.
Now all these people have had their plans and their money wasted by your club, and so clearly it is their fault, not that you are anyone else seems to give a shit.
I find it odd you dont see much condemnation of Levy by Spurs supporters, he really has taken a gamble on this project. Guessing the time of its completion, getting it very wrong leaving their supporters having to travel to Wembley until I would guess spring the way things are going. Then there is the over run on costs which has gone up by £100 million and the lack of investment in the playing side of things.
I was watching an interview with kevin keegan as to why he fell out with Mike Ashley during his last spell as Newcastle manager, Ashley wouldn't spend and Keegan stated that in order to keep competing at the top level you have to keep investing and as soon as you dont you drop like a stone. Fair play to Spur's they have started off well this season but no new faces in the summer will take its tole at some point. How long will Kane and co plus the manager stick around in the coming seasons whilst they have the millstone of paying for a new stadium round their neck? Spurs supporters see as some badge of honour that their billionaire owner wont invest money and is some how doing things the right way but by spending £500 million on a new ground its going to turn their fortunes around when match day revenues is not what make top football teams money.
As long as they don't show that Ricky fucking Villa goal again.....

Why not?For the majority of Spurs fans, agreed. But there will have been a large number of Spurs fans who were proposing to travel to the game from all over the UK and from abroad - probably as many as, or possibly even more than, there will be City fans travelling from Manchester. As to why Spurs didn't offer to pay travel costs for City fans, I would guess that that was at least in part because, unlike City, Spurs couldn't make that offer to 3000 City fans without also making it to 70,000+ Spurs fans.
It was clear months ago that the stadium wouldn’t be ready until 2019 and some Spurs fan claimed on here it would be open for their 3rd home game, a similar situation to the Atletico Madrid one, a claim that I called nonsense at the time, of course they have disappeared lost in their trophy cabinet now. My belief is Levy was well aware at the start of the project that a season and a half would be required at Wembley but if he ask the PL for that it would have been refused so he hatch the plan to claim delays due to safety The man is a arsehole and the PL should now order that Spurs play all season at Wembley and inflict a large fine on then for lying in the first place.He has been slaughtered by Spurs fans on twitter and elsewhere! And no, he didn't "guess" the completion date of the stadium. He took advice from MACE - among the best performing major construction companies in the country, currently - as to when the stadium would be ready.
