So it goes on to penalise Southampton and distant City fans (like me!) who have already paid for travel on 3rd November and potentially means rearranging fixtures for whoever we and Spurs might be playing in the League Cup? Can't see that's an acceptable solution

Spurs’ new stadium
- Thread starter Chris Holmes
- Start date
It makes no difference who the contractor is. When there is a big cock up in a company no matter whose fault it is , often the CEO has to fall on their sword. Ultimately it is the responsibility of Spurs as they are responsible for employing the contractor and agreeing the timelines.Levy hasn’t been putting in the electrical systems. Nor have Spurs been overseeing the work. That has been Mace’s and the subcontractor’s responsibility.
They must have known it was going to be a tight schedule to complete the works for September and any sensible organisation would have had contingency plans in place for delays, which appears not to be the case.

There’s an awful lot of rumour going around - much of it from dubious sources, as you say, and most of the remainder from those with an incomplete knowledge of the situation.
Yes, there is absolutely a possibility that the stadium will not be ready by 28th October. We simply don’t know yet how extensive this problem is and how long it will take to put it right. It could be a matter of months or it could be a matter of weeks. I simply wanted to remind those involved in the discussion that the one option that appears to have been ignored altogether is that the stadium will be ready in time after all.
Heard that from you first

Probably already mentioned in the previous pages but changing the game to our place would work wouldn't it and then play them

Now being reported in the papers that Spuds want to play the game Monday nightat Wembley on a dodgy pitch which would knock our Caraboa Cup match to the Thursday and our league game to the Sunday, the one problem and certainly why City wont agree it (yet) is that we than have a Champs League game which could be scheduled for the Tuesday. All this potential disruption because of a penny pinching miser.
That Mr Burns has a lot to answer for.
How is it that I keep getting adverts at the bottom of most pages for electricians wanted in the Tottenham area, paid at £25+ per hour, on a 3 month contract?

Definitely the best option, but spurs should give city fans free tickets for the return game, as compensation for being messed around

That would mean 4 of our last 5 games being away from home.
I don't see why we should. Pep has already said he is against that.

We end up with two many away games in the critical run-in. City shouldn't go for that, too risky.Probably already mentioned in the previous pages but changing the game to our place would work wouldn't it and then play them

Yes, of course Spurs are ultimately responsible (although they will nevertheless be fully entitled to LAD’s). But we aren’t talking in terms of dry corporate responsibility. This isn’t a court of law. The person who posted the original accusations was talking from the perspective of a football fan. That is what I was responding to.
Just emailed the FA requesting they allow Spurs to use one of the vacant Premier league grounds available on Oct. 28. The more emails they receive the more likely they will listen. email address: info@thefa.com
