You're entitled to defend yourself - or say whatever you want frankly - I'm just saying that using big rhetoric about stuff that you don't personally know much about is likely to have more people having a dig, and it doesn't achieve anything at all mate. All sorts of people have quoted all sorts of dates so the ability to pluck a "winner" out of the bag doesn't prove anything.Somebody called my post “baffling”. Which is basically the same that was said about me when I believed Kramer 5 months ago. I had every right to defend myself. And right now I’d say “shambles” is a pretty spot on adjective to define the situation. I’m not a person that calls out other people’s accounts. But when I’m called out I have every to defend myself especially as the person I sided with was correct.
And I don't think it's about one post, it's about a large collection of posts which some might call "questionable". I might be wrong but wasn't it you who complained about there being no big "Tottenham Hotspur" outside the West stand, said the grass looked crap, said that the South stand looked awful and didn't like the back lighting of the top ring? That's just what I think I can remember (may well be wrong) but it ends up looking pretty trolly.
Anyway, back to the stadium. Having read that thread on the other site it really changed my mind about how "shambolic" things have been. It seemed impossible to me that such a key part of the stadium could be so wrong, but when you start digging into some of the technical stuff they have shared it doesn't sound implausible at all. If the story about the primary control panel being a "prototype" design is true that might also explain why the debugging and remediation is taking so long... and probably longer than many industry people would be able to predict.
It's a massive pain in the arse to have to sit through as a fan but this is a long-term project and by most accounts sounds like it will be one of the best stadiums in the world once ready.
