Sith Happens Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Why is it ok to break the rules for spurs? There is a rule you cannot play home games at more than one venue in a season. Getting the stadium complete in a year surely was overly ambitious. Looks like they may even play a third venue because Wembley cant host the man city game. Tell them it's either Wembley all season or dock them points for each fixture they fail to fulfill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thing that annoys me is you know if it was someone like Yeovil moving into a new stadium and it wasnt ready they wouldnt get the same rule breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I can't see the problem. Team invests over £800m in a stadium based in their historic location. The pressures involved in such an ambitious project have proved to be beyond the developers, so we punish the club, instead of welcoming investment that keeps the club at the heart of its historic community, which no doubt will bring investment into the wider area, which in turn is one of the most deprived areas of the capital? Instead of punishing them, the league should be looking at every possible compromise so as not to discourage other clubs from following the same path. Otherwise we'll see clubs take the low risk/cost option of building a soulless bowl miles away from their original site. It's difficult to do but not impossible, they could always play Man City at home as planned but behind closed doors if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 They did have this as an agreed contingency already when they first started using Wembley. And they were always going to play their first home game of the season at Wembley. So it’s not really a problem for me if it’s all been pre-agreed.

They’re not breaking the rules though. There is scope in the premier league rules for clubs to play in more than one stadium - and as the BBC report the decision to use Wembley was made at the end of last season.

The only issue here is the absurdly short amount of time Spurs and the developers gave to finishing the project. Always happens, they get way too optimistic and it fails. I am sure there are penalty clauses for the developers. The design is fantastic and it will be the best stadium in the UK without a doubt. No issues of where the singing fans should get their season tickets, it's pretty obvious in the design. WHU have had a massive issues with this and the souless bowl that is the Olympic Stadium.

The only issue is finding the £1125/£1250 to be able to afford one. There is an option of saving a couple of hundred by being right at the back up in the clouds. Most expensive season tickets in the Premier League, zero new signings, wouldn't be surprised if the atmosphere rocks to the same level as the Etihad.

Interesting to consider, especially in the same week we've been told that clubs don't need ticket revenue to be profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about applauding them for keeping the club at the heart of the historic community. They go and agree to play at mk dons stadium in the efl. Shows they dont care about historic communities.
