And do you think rectifying this item would take an additional 6 weeks?? Of course not - it is being used as the reasoning!

I don’t think anyone is surprised there are issues with such a complex build, even expected.
And I think we’d all prefer to turn to up to an almost finished stadium for the first time, not a patched up “ready” state where the exterior isn’t even finished.
The problem I have is Levy didn’t even apologise to the fans for the delay and that speaks volumes! Instead he asked us for patience and support. Maybe he’d get more of both if he made us feel like we were anything more than a pound sign, rather than banging on about the NFL which none of us give a flying fuck about at the moment.

Highly unlikely I would have thought.
The initial excitement over Wembley, coupled with anticipation over the new stadium, has long passed.

Cheer up, just because someone made it up before you doesn't mean to say you didn't make it up as well.

Presumably once the critical safety issue is rectified the club can give a definite timescale, unfortunately in other words that means that the club can't give a definite timescale until that critical safety issue is rectified.
It would seem that it isn't that the timescale was too short it is that something hasn't been done properly so we have everything we need to stage a football match, or will have with the turf laid, it's just that we don't have a certificate for something that has never been used at the old ground in all the years I have been supporting the club.
I am not happy about more games at Wembley but what worries me more is that any more and the clubs, Premier league and anyone else with a vested interest will insist that we revert to Wembley for all of our games, I can only hope that the club at least has a handle on rectifying the problem and feel confident this delay is sufficient.
By the way, when I say I am not happy I mean that I am incandescant with rage, I am absolutely fucking steaming

the trouble is it would be harder to sort out season tickets 7 games into the season, when they didn't know for certain there would be a delay. if the cause is correct they wouldn't of known that back in April when they started to get tickets sorted.
with all that's happening I know I better find a way of working more hours even though I'm struggling at the moment to do anything
because I might even get offered a season ticket next season, though the 151 in front of me on the disabled list might not moan as much

when I read through the the terms & conditions for my season ticket, before I bought it, the part about not guaranteeing matches being staged at the same time and place leapt out at me.
People can moan about it “ blah blah blah I paid my season ticket money” but it’s in the documentation we got that it might have been a possibility games wouldn’t be staged there. It’s not the club’s fault if people didn’t read them.
It’s annoying we weren’t told, but the club are useless updating us on injuries, let alone problems with the new stadium, which if made public could have wider ramifications. It’s exactly how I expected them to behave should something like this happen.

People are actually buying the safety system issue and this was all a sudden thing? Seriously? That’s clearly a bullshit excuse for the club failing to be up front with the fans. We’ve gotten smoke out from people who have worked on the site for months that the stadium will not be ready in the clubs time frame and it was looking like November. Not only that, but all anyone has to do is take a look at the pictures that are continuously popping up. There’s a safety issue. But its got nothing to do with a system and more to do with the fact its clearly a building site and the club doesnt want anyone falling through the large glassless area of the facade or touching anything else on match days.
