Spurs’ new stadium

JimB said:
Yes, many Spurs fans are pissed off. Understandably so. And yes, some other clubs and their fans are also pissed off - equally understandably. But it seems to me that, as is sadly the media / social media driven norm in our country these days, hyperbole, melodrama and misinformation are running rampant. A bit of perspective wouldn't go amiss.

Judging by some of the comments both here and elsewhere, you could have been forgiven for thinking that Spurs - and Levy in particular - had committed unspeakable crimes against humanity while presiding over the biggest bungle in the entire history of bungling (did I mention hyperbole?)! ;-)

The truth is somewhat less dramatic. A major construction project has overrun by a few months because a critical wiring error by a subcontractor was discovered at the eleventh hour. As a consequence of which, 50 thousand or so Spurs fans and a few thousand Manchester City fans had their prepaid travel plans disrupted and have been left variously out of pocket. In addition, Manchester City FC suffered the inconvenience of having to make a couple of alterations to their schedule and having to play a game of football on a poor surface. Thankfully for Man City, no one was injured and they won the game anyway.

That's the sum of it. And while I absolutely do understand the annoyance felt by many now, I'm also quite certain that it will all soon be forgotten once the stadium is finally opened. It may be too much to think that rival fans will ever admit that the wait was worth it but I hope that Spurs fans will, at least.

What about the knock on effect to Southampton fans and Fulham fans, to name just 2. Maybe if Levy and Spurs looked or said like they give
a stuff, people would be a bit more understanding.

Only a few lower tier blocks sold out, true. But if you click on each block, you'll find that there are only single seats available, sparsely dotted around. The vast majority of seats have been sold.

Okay, Southampton and Fulham fans were also inconvenienced. Again, I understand their annoyance.

But I repeat, in the pantheon of crimes against humanity, this hardly registers towards the very worst end of the spectrum. The furious reaction and vilification of Levy by some has, IMO, been hugely over the top.

I see your need to defend him, but it's been a fuck up, so he's going to cop some flack.

Looks absolutely amazing and a stadium any fanbase would be proud to call home.

Its not that unusual for building projects to overrun. Levy should have handled the fall out better but its not unique in football for someone in football to show little regard for supporters.
