New Stadium Details And Discussions

Saw the following on a Spurs FB page:

Unavailable mate

I bought a season ticket for a seat in the new stadium not wembley and at that time there was no mention that I might not be able to use my season ticket that I've paid for because we won't be playing some games there.
I remain confident I will see all my games at home in my shiney new seat in our shiney new stadium.

I very much hope that if we do have to play elsewhere ST holders are financially compensated. But no amount of sentiment can make a stadium be built on time - if it's delayed it's delayed.

There's something about this pic which doesn't look authentic, it's weird, like a Lego stadium or something.

Don't. We'll have people questioning if it's really being built at all in a min the way this summer on SC is going.

weird thing is there has been some really minor jobs done that would surely not be as important as other jobs. great seeing the tiling near on complete on the outside, but surely those jobs could of been done right towards the end...

It's not really how site labour management works. Say you've got 16 out 20 WCs ready to tile and the tiling crew has finished tiling all 16. You're not going to lay them off until the other 4 are ready and then hope you can get the same people, or tilers as competent, back again. You're going to move them onto some less-urgent tiling and find some work for them until the other 4 WCs are ready to tile.

It might even be that there is a tiling subcontractor or an agency supplying the tiling crew. They aren't going to want to relocate their staff from N17 to a different site for 2-3 weeks and them move them back - it's disruptive. They'll keep them on site and keep them busy with lower-priority work until the critical-path work is ready for them to do.

I don't think anyone knows if you're right! But I doubt they'd use velcro to hold the pitch down lol. But then I've been wrong many times before so who knows!

Yeah, that white stripe is not quite in the right place to cover a rail, comparing both sides from the latest picture.
There is of course a big white sideline that runs either side of an NFL pitch and this stripe is in the right place for that. I guess rather than painting the thing, they just cut in a strip of white astroturf in place.

I'm not so sure what that black tape is now - something electronic?
Or maybe one guy uses black duct tape and that is just how he rolls.

 

[coys200]

There's no chance of that happening. If the construction was behind there wouldn't be days like today with not much going on on-site.

Trying reading back a page before you shot people down mate ?

Hopefully it's not true, but BEN on FTL is repeatedly claiming late October or even November for move in to the new stadium, and a number of league games played at Wembley.

The premier league fixture schedule is released in four days time so we should know by then as I suppose...

 

[Roynie]

They probably are. My point is get the jobs done as quick as you can. Just because the outside tilling doesn't have to be done till the end doesn't mean we should leave it. Get people in get it done.

I suspect that things are being done ASAP. The problem is that we can't see what's going on inside the stadium and the club isn't telling us anything. There is a current shortage of sparkies in London because the club is employing so many. That should tell us something!

Again Uefa rules state you can only play in one stadium during a season

Im pretty sure PL rules are the same as i dont think any team has changed stadium midseason with the idea it being unfair that some teams get to play at a more neutral ground whilst others at the actual home stadium

We have been told a number of times that Scudamore will give the green light to play some of our fixtures away from NWHL if needed. Apparently it does not need ratification from the clubs themselves and he has the say so. I think extraordinary circumstances will be the reason. At the end of the day the other clubs shouldn't reject it because who knows, sometime in the future they may well need a similar arrangement for some reason or other.

The CL rules though are a different matter. Not sure about that.

A couple of fans on here have stated it as fact that uefa have a rule of not playing in more than one stadium but i can't find any such rule.
Can't see why a club can't play group stages in one stadium then knockout at a different one.

I read somewhere that it is possible, but requires the PL approval, which in the same bit said we had been granted. Might have been some ITK info that I read it from or a random website on it.

I think it came from Ben that it is sorted with Scudamore if required. He is retiring so it wn’t Bother him

If the FA grant us to play at 2 different stadiums there will be a shit storm of epic proportions from other clubs and fans, I honestly don't think it should be allowed but ill laugh myself silly if it is.
