New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Dougal]

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.

I doubt most most care apart from Tabloids, Twitter and various forums. And those people don’t matter.

I would have to disagree having discussed this with United and Liverpool supporting friends. It would be incredibly unbalanced having some clubs play us at Wembley and others at the NWHL.

Spurs at home at Wembley last season: 43 points
At WHL over the two years before: 53 points and 36 points (average: 44.5 points).

That's before we even bring in the fact that we were probably helped by it being our final year at the Lane in 16/17, and that our Wembley form was far better in the second half of last season and we wouldn't have to settle in again. The effect is completely overstated, if it exists at all having already spent a year at Wembley + having several matches there before it's very minor.

I'd actually hypothesise that the drop in form tends to be when you move into a new stadium as the players become familiar with their surroundings: if anything you might be better off playing us at NWHL than at Wembley next year.

I understand what you are saying but, the reason we play equal games at home and away is so that its balanced an a level playing field for all. Trust me if it does happen it will make big news.

I'm still not sure why anyone would think we'll miss the deadline.
The infrastructure is in place so I see no other major risks except for Labour and delivery of parts which are all fairly standard, ie, electrical, networking, fixtures, and fittings.
And all that can be solved by throwing extra bodies/hours at the project and having second suppliers in place.

People just looking for a shitstorm. We played a whole season away. Nobody cared we were at a disadvantage. Most were just prepared to take advantage.

Every time I have looked at the cams today I haven't seen any workers. Strange after so much activity the last few weeks.

The only thing that stops mid September is the interior. Not sure veil will be finished unless they crack on soon but don’t see that as essential.

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.

Kind of think that United played at one Norwegian club's home ground whilst the previous match was in another. Maybe not last season but the season before? Not going to try and look it up.

I don't understand why other clubs in the league would be against a club playing in two stadiums in one season.

This scenario rarely occurs and these clubs won't lose any money.

Take this example. Liverpool building new stadium. Chelsea play them at millennium stadium then we have to play them at new Anfield. Some would be grumbling chelsea had an advantage.

It’s not that simple as throwing more men and hours at it.
The extra men need supervision and materials to work with.
The amount of time I have worked on a jobs where there is “a push” and more bodies and hours are throw at the job and it rarely helps

It's not like we are purposely trying to play home games at two different stadium to gain an advantage.

An away team could not complain as long as the playing surface and stadium were up to to regulation and there were extenuating circumstances.

Have to agree as well as having less space to work in, you need a fair bit of clearance room when you are craning big lumps of panels and glass about.
