Spurs’ new stadium

Gray said:
I have been told that the fire suppressant system is not working properly and that only about 10% is functioning correctly.

They will not get this Stadium ready for some considerable time yet.

He was asked on Monday by the main contractor If he could submit a tender for the fire alarm installation at the new stadium. When he asked when the work would be required they said around February- March time. If this is true and he has no reason to lie, I don't think that they will be playing there until the last game of this season or thereabouts"

They won’t as it is mace and construction management not a fixed price contract. Spurs picking up the extra tab and no lad s. Is going to be north of a billion. 400 million over budget.

Why would they enter into contract leaving them with all the risk?

To try and save money. Transferring risk to others costs money. Daniel levey does not like doing that so he took the risk trying to save money and it has spectacularly backfired. It is a construction management contract due to a tight programme in London and in a difficult location access wise. I was checking today our stadium cost 114 million originally and that was with the commonwealth games temporary works. This will end up costing spurs well north of a billion. It started at 400 million.

I can't believe he would not cover himself - I'd say LADs would be more likely due to Levy not liking to spend money. We'll find out when the accounts come out though as someone is getting hit hard.
 
It's Mace CM is it? I've worked with them, don't expect it finished till 2020

The fact that the fixtures were announced in June and the game since scheduled to a specific date and time for TV purposes is evidence that Spurs were set to host a game on that date and time. They will have failed to ensure the game went ahead as scheduled. The PL should fine them and from that pool, money that fans have spent to prepare for the game should be reimbursed.

Exactly. Which is the point I was trying to make, yet we have people jumping all over it and coming out with guff about going to court and losing the case, blah de blah. Talk about spectacularly missing the point.
 
Work with a fair few Spurs season ticket holders and they're all being offered refunds or tickets to the games at Wembley. From what they're saying a lot of people won't show up to the games at Wembley as they're sick of going there. I'd be surprised if they're allowed to sell any more seats than their new stadium holds (61,000), meaning there might be quite low crowds (relative to the size of Wembley) for their next few games. Would imagine this is going to cost Spurs a lot of money in lost revenue/penalities.

For all the issues it's amazing how we get stick for not filling 1/3 of Wembley for a friendly when London club fans can't manage a tube ride.
