New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Bofrok]

Seem to be getting the mobile version of skyscraper city on my phone which is a bit shit. Anyone know how I get back to the original version on phone ?

Bottom of the page there's an option to switch between the new and old versions.

I had that issue. Should be able to revert to desktop version at the bottom of the page.

Eh?

I thought in the champions league, you can only play in one home stadium. If we start the campaign at wembley we will have to play the rest of our CL games there. Obviously i don't know, am only asking the question

As I see it we need to finish the seats, finish the floodlights(maybe), finish the roof, finish the south stand exterior, take the cranes away, and lay the pitch(es), that is all I can see we need to hold a football match, as for any other stuff, I can't see it so I don't know but I'm not sure what internals could be match ready critical except maybe the turnstyles.
We have three months to do all of that and none of it really relies on the other bits being completed does it?
It has been said that other projects have always been further ahead at this stage but then again this project was barely started at a time others would have been half way done, this project has always had a different timescale to others so at no time has it ever looked like it was on time, that doesn't mean it hasn't been.
Season is over and we are at the sharp end, decision dates are close so there is bound to be conjecture.

According to the Champions League rules & regs, in principle Uefa want only one ground but they do have the discretion to diverge away from that principle.

Im not sure matey, but the season tickets we have sold are for all home games at NWHL, so id be shocked if we then played champions league games at Wembley.
As ive mentioned im sure the new stadium wil be ready, theres too much at stake for it not to be. The workforce on the site will be strengthened if needed.

On a serious(ish) note I have thought of using a bike, parking is going to be at a premium so I had thought of parking somewhere like Walthamstow or Chingford and cycling across the marshes, I wonder if anyone round there has given any thought to bike parking areas? I might write to that nice new leader of Haringey council, you never know.

I'm now in Chinghford! you can park at mine...

Wouldnt be surprised if we’re back in Wembley next season at this rate. The PL nor UEFA shouldnt allow us to play in 2 homes. Sets a dangerous precedent and thats not a path either should want to go down.

The club would not leak that guff Ben is spouting. If you have a problem like that, you manage the situation and announce it properly with the solution to minimise the impact of it. Otherwise it causes a panic.

It also contradicts Levy’s end of season notes

It also contradicts what i know about aspects of the stadium build. Again i don't want to go into too much detail, but i will say my involvement isn't construction related, but in order for things i am involved with to be getting the green light then the construction needs to be at a certain stage.

As per the ITK - The NFL will be very unimpressed if we are not set up and running for 14th October's game.
This seems highly unlikely and will be a massive opportunity missed, with a less than good first impression made.

Supporters have already bought season tickets for next season for the new stadium, not for Wembley and NWL.
If we did play games at Wembley and white hart lane supporters would have to be reimbursed. It would be a PR nightmare for the club.

Not going to happen, we wont be playing at Wembley next season.

Unfortunately I think they've covered this in the small print: "No guarantees can be given by the Club that the Match will take place at a particular time, location or on a particular date... The Club will have no further liability whatsoever, including (but not limited to) any indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of enjoyment or travel/accommodation costs." So they can probably just allocate ST holders an equivalent seat at Wembley without any reimbursement.

That rule does exist, but UEFA can and do waive it according to the circumstances. For instance, Celtic Park was out of action a couple of years back due to the Commonwealth Games, and Celtic were allowed to play their matches at Murrayfield and them move back home for the later games. The only restriction put in place was that they couldn't move the games outside of Scotland (they wanted to play one in Dublin and one in Manchester).

Anyone like me sad enough to watch the cams on the OS will not be surprised that they are behind. Let's just say that the site has never been a hive of activity and urgency is not a word I would use.

I hope it is all going to be fine though, it will just cost more to rush it through, almost like the builders had planned it

I think we set the record for most people working on a site quite recently. Pretty sure Chris Cowlin mentioned that in one of his video's recently.

 

[Goldman]

I think we will see images of the stadium fully complete and yet there will still be gossip about the stadium been months behind schedule still...

You dont think all the media whisperings about it the last few days were leaks from the club? The ITK about it now makes it a dead certainty the club leaked it. Looking likely we’ll be at Wembley again next season.

The season ticket I purchased was for PL games only, no cup games were included. Even the 1882 Season Tickets only included Domestic Cup & PL games, so we cannot rule out CL games at Wembley again. There may only be three matches anyway...

Yeah I'm not surprised legally they are covered, but it would be a pretty disgraceful thing to do imo and pretty shoddy business practice.

Although sadly it wouldn't really surprise me. Probably offer ST holders an additional discount at the club shop instead.

They made pretty clear with the pricing that they couldn't care less whether we like it or not to be honest.

Demonstrate how this benefits the club or Mace and I'll be inclined to agree with you.

You think (if true) this is information levy would want leaked? What would it gain? Also with naming rights deals and nfl contracts it is a lot to lose or at least a big headache.

If there are problems i'm sure they would try to sort it in house.

True, but paying for a service which has not really been performed properly for say 20% of the time goes beyond that. Like you said, they will have a legal and contractual disclaimer, but I can't imagine supporters just sucking that up without repercussions down the line.
