For one, it's the Premier League & two, they can & would contest it & win.
Just as they quickly had ffp brought in on a whim.
They would see Spurs kicked out of the competition before allowing us to be gifted 3 points.
Neither will happen. The game will be played.
So we need to stand up & make sure it happens on our terms.
I said the rule might not apply to the prem, but if it does then it can be enforced if no other option is sorted, and in that event no club can request 3 points extra, because they are fullfilling their own fixtures that week and so extra points would put them at an advantage.
With us we are gaining no extra points as there is a chance we would have won them.
Spurs have 4 options
Rearange the fixture for another date(Monday being their prefered option but we are not keen) , atm this option around the same period is difficult because of cup fixtures, and we don't want it played after chriatmas as it causes a fixture pile up.
Play at a neutral ground, as you said clubs won't want a forfeit, well then why doesn't one offer their ground no extra charge to host
Anfield, WHU, Arsenal, chelsea are all unused that weekend as is villa park, as yet no one has agreed to host as far as we know.
Swap the home and away fixture, we have refused and rightly so.
Forfiet and award a 3-0 win to us, as is traditionally customary in these rare situation.
At present all bar option 3 are on the table, and no other club can or should have a an issue if they want it to happen

I only heard about that this morning.Levy’s certainly no accountant. £400mill est cost to end up at £1 bill? Makes Wembley seem prudent in comparison.
Still, at least they’ll have a fit for purpose stadium.....oh and not forgetting the cheese room
If they also offered some meats, pickles and bread shops to go with it they could have a deli alley
What on earth are you talking about? the EB Streymur game was NEVER rearranged it was set up in Barnsley from the off due to new pitch seeding problems.
I said we had to find a new ground not rearrange - and it certainly wasn't planned at Barnsley from the start as we had tried the Reebok but the GMP were not keep and it is the closet ground we could get whose club was willing was and played a friendly their for doing so at such short notice.
There was no seeding 'problem', the pitch was being relayed as planned, and city did not expect to play that early and had a Bon Jovi concert on so could not bring it forward.
Everyone knew this at the time.

That deserves a ban. Any joke that ....cheesy deserves a ban.
It was actually very good.

They have probably not even asked anyone about a venue, yet.
There is no chance, whatsoever, of City being awarded 3 points. None. The other teams would accept Spurs being banned for the season, & their games being anulled, before accepting City being given 3 points without playing. Sky would not want Spurs banned, so it won't happen.
If it's in the rules, & we ask for them to be implemented to give us 3 points, they will just get together & change the rules, immediately, exactly how they did, when they wanted ffp & when they decided to ban one of our players.
The game will be played & if it becomes difficult to arrange, they will try it on, asking us to move stuff around.
We have to stand up & only accept a deal we are happy with & not accept anything less. If the game can't be played at Spurs' they will find another venue.

After reading most of this thread it appears to me if WHL is not ready, the only acceptable alternative is to play at the Olympic Stadium. Spurs will have to accept any fines or costs incurred.

That suggestion is far too simple and sensible for the idiots in charge to implement.

Now I think (nearly) no one at City would want 3 points without a match played. (might be different for other clubs though...)
Pep wants to play football, City fans want to see our fantastic football and there is Sky as well.
And it's a great fixture, one of the best over the season.
Banning spurs from PL would be a huge damage to PL and English football. Should not and will not happen as well.
So leave the rule aside, find a 3rd venue with a football pitch around London, not a potatoe field that Wembley possibly is post NFL
and play on 28 Oct as scheduled.
If City had to play on Monday 29 on an awful pitch I would love City to refuse over medical concerns and give spurs 3 points.
Would be a nice story.

if there was no match, then Sky would want compensation, whether in kind or financial. The PL don't want to go down that route.
