Spurs’ new stadium

They definitely can postpone it, we'll just be dead against that option so it'll be one of the last resorts. If they can't find another solution then we'll just have to get on with it. No different to if it was postponed for weather etc.

If you can't fulfil a fixture it's an automatic 3-0 win to the opposition. The game can't be postponed unless we agree to it and there isn't another point in the fixture schedule when it can be played without badly affecting us.
So the game can only:
(1) Be moved to West Ham or Arsenal(who don't play at home that day)
(2)Played at WHL at much rediued capacity. (with all City away fans accommodated).

Then there are all the City fans who have bought train tickets!

There is zero chance of the game being forfeited. Sky/BT pay far too much for that to happen.

There is less than zero chance of us playing it at the Emirates. I think it's more likely to be postponed than played anywhere other than WHL, Wembley or the Etihad.

It can be postponed (and is being mooted by the Daily Mail) if they can't find a suitable alternative. The fact that it's not convenient for us is unfortunate, but not preventative from it happening. Teams with busy schedules have had to rearrange games before.

FYI I have a non refundable hotel booked in London so would prefer it goes ahead as planned.
 
Of course it can be postponed. Lots of matches have been postponed for various reasons over the years at much less notice than two and a half months ahead

No way should city agree to switching the venue. It won’t benefit us in any way at all

Spurs are hilarious under Levy, what a farce. It's like Swales has been reincarnated.

Hardly.

This stadium build is a massive, complex construction project that had an incredibly tight schedule. Despite this, the stadium remained on course to open on 15th September (albeit with some jobs yet to be completed) until the first test event exposed serious issues with safety systems. So the stadium will be delayed by a further month or so. Disappointing, certainly. But not farcical. Anyone in the construction industry will tell you that, on such big projects, such delays are commonplace.

Once the stadium opens and everyone sees how impressive it really is, the couple of months' delay will soon be forgotten.

Complex construction on a tight schedule where delays are commonplace. Add to that the rules about one home stadium per season and this should not have happened. Not sure why you're defending them. The possibility of a failed test event should have been factored in.

He’s a spuds fan mate. Chatting shit also as usual because there’s no way it’ll be ready in 2 months!

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.

Yeah probably... but Levy is working with a revenue probably 100 times more than what Swales had to play with. Spurs will never become an ‘elite’ club whilst he’s there
