Nice one.
I was actually ok with the delay, it was the fact I would have to use my £63 for another 2 Wembley matches or lose it.
Happy that I can withdraw those funds if I chose not to go.
Almost certainly will go for the Liverpool match, but might take the money for Cardiff.


That seems fair weather ;)

I'm missing a bit here.

Are we still allowed to open and play in the stadium this season?

Yeah but it's looking like we'll move in late November/December.

The issue is the Champions League, we'll almost certainly have to play at Wembley as UEFA only allow you to play in one stadium per season I think.

I went to every home game last season that I was physically able to.
2 matches I couldn't I happily gave my ticket away for free so there was a bum on a seat, as there was no ticket exchange option for those games.

I've earned my Wembley dues.
I could also use the £63 refund for something i need the money for. £70 including the leftover funds from the Fulham game.

I'm sure it's per stage in the CL so we may need to play group games at Wembley then next stage (should we qualify) at "home" wherever the hell that is by Feb.

Absolutely gutted. As I suspect is the case for a good many, I'd determinedly kept 15 Sep clear of work. Gigging in Montpellier the weekend of the Man City game, landing at Gatwick at 5pm, an hour after kick-off. Total bullshit. Considering the scale of the delay, it's unfathomable that this reality only made itself apparent yesterday. Totally mishandled.

Don't worry, cos I doubt we will be in before Christmas

You wouldn't want to be at Wembley a whole season of the new gaff is finished by December.
There's always gonna be lingering doubt about that first game, whenever it is. You can just imagine a date being announced and then cancelled again owing to unforseen circumstances.
Meanwhile more and more uncertainty for other clubs in the Prem. We can't play half the games in one stadium and half in another.
I suspect eventually the club will cut their losses and commit to the whole season at Wembley. That way all uncertainty is removed. Embarrassing pain in the arse, but I bet that's what happens.

It would be very odd if we followed CL rules re home fixtures, but didn't follow the same PL rules.

Not sure tbh, apparently Porto were allowed to play games in 2002-3 in different stadiums.

I can't tell you how many times I have been to see Spurs at both stadiums, they are very very close. That aside, does ANYONE really think that our new stadium will be referred to as the Lane five years from now? In actual fact there will be a generation of supporters 10 years from now who will never of heard of WHL !!
Possibly, but it became known as “White Hart Lane” in the first place by virtue of casual association with that road, and without being named as that formally, so you never know....

Frustrating, I hate waiting.

Hoping it works out well for the team though, we spanked the bin dippers at Wembley last season and the place was rocking.

most of their fans (they all seem to work in my office in London) wanted it to be moved to Wembley. They felt that being the first team at the new stadium would hurt more.

That's good, confirms we can have the cash no?

I’m not sure how it works but for the Fulham game, they refunded 1/19th of the cost of the season ticket but charged the same amount for the ticket for Wembley. Yet the current season ticket was £400 more expensive than the Wembley one. Unless I’m missing something doesn’t that mean we’re being charged the same amount per game despite paying more overall this season?

I’m very possibly wrong but that’s how I saw it.

Yeah I think you're right, but tbh I didn't even expect a refund, thought it was just gonna be credit that you had to use for future tickets.
It's still a piss take, but I was expecting worse.

As far as a negative atmosphere is concerned, the only thing I'm liking about the club right now is the team and the manager, they'll be getting my full support, regardless of the way we're treated by the fucker upstairs.

This whole just a refund business is not acceptable. They've had our money for months for goodness sake.

They didn’t know there was going to be a delay did they - everyone was working to a set date, did you expect them to take the cash the day before.

We can’t all be as talented as you :LOL:
