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).
That clause or something similar would have been there for years and will be in all other season tickets too, it covers stuff like the stadium being unavailable due to damage etc.

More importantly, Sky19 on SSC noticed that the Pie Making machine has been delivered, so everyone can relax... :)

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 club and (especially Mace) would NEVER want this information leaked, firstly it contradicts everything the club has said, and would make them look remarkably foolish. Secondly, with regards to Mace, who are a leading Building/Management Contractor, would lose a lot of face if a project of this scale wasn't delivered, granted not delivering it on budget is one thing, but with such time constraints and deadlines in place it would be a HUGE black mark against them.

Was looking up tickets for the NFL game we're hosting and thought this bit was interesting.

"Due to the stadium being under construction, we do not yet have a full, finalised seating plan for NFL games. For example, US broadcasters of NFL games require considerably more camera positions than for a soccer game (minimum of 27) and they need the opportunity to survey the stadium. To ensure that we deliver the best possible fan experience – and to avoid selling seats that we later discover will have an obstructed view - we cannot go on sale until this seating plan has been finalised. We expect to begin hospitality ticket sales in June, with all other tickets likely to follow in early August."


If tickets don't go on sale for the game by early August it might be time to panic!

A lot of people seem to not realise how much is going on out of sight - the pitch won't be grown, laid in sections and engineered on to its frame in full view - I'm imagining that there's a ton of work going on under the south stand as we speak. The rails are going down pretty rapidly, we hear that theres been a load of progress on the interior, the screens are up already (I expected them to be one of the last things to go in), roof panels won't take very long at all, seats to go in etc.

If it is behind schedule, I'm really not convinced it's far enough behind to be of concern.

Give it another month, weather permitting, and we'll have a much clearer Idea as pitch side of the bowl starts to properly take shape.

Pretty sure the pitch is already growing nicely at the training ground isn't it?

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.
But don’t cut up or throw away your season ticket card at Wembley just in case!!!

I doubt it won't be completed by October. With all the dates penned in (PL after a few away games, CL, and NFL) it would be a massive balls up not to have it ready. I think the relevant people will end up getting a kick up the arse to get it done in time.
If the NFL game has to be postponed that would put the club in a whole heap of shit, I would imagine...

It was only last week that chris cowling was saying that we had booked a training event for 18th of august.

Yet this week they have been cancelled and put back to october/november?

I'd wait for at least a month before getting out of our prams. Too many people like a drama.

What tricks is he playing??

Every time a penalty is given against us at the new stadium, the opposition will miss due to there being a small earthquake within the stadium.

Little do they know...it's because that cheeky bald fucker Levy will be fiddling with the remote control for the sliding pitch.

Chris cowling said the pitch roll out test will be this weekend. Seems unlikely maybe just west stand section as we’re testing flaps.

Yeah, it's happening in three stages, if they're still doing it the same way - West, East, Middle.

There's a ton of articles from early in the build when the trays started arriving at the site.

He’s been alluding to levy having something up his sleeve for 12/18 months so it must be something we have faith in and will work

So we have contingency plans, good I would hope so but the important bit is the hopefully unnecessary which is exactly where we thought we were before people started writing articles putting a pessimistic spin on it

I think the plan is to convince the fans and opposition we are playing at the new WHL when we will actually be playing at Wembley and will win 100-0 every match as everyone else will be at the wrong ground.

Would still lose the FA cup semi final as the other team will turn up to Wembley. Dammit.

Sorry but what does this mean?
I might be wrong but I'm fairly sure you're not allowed to play at 2 different home grounds during a season.
