Also no dry run to test it sooooo much hopefully can/will go wrong This could make this the second best premier league season in history for me. It failed its vital safety test last week meaning they can’t open on time, can’t even have their ‘dry run’ till it’s sorted and even then they have to re-apply to the council. Their fans have been told they will be playing at Wembley till at least October 9th ? I think. ?

No club has been granted before. They also assured the premier league it would be ready. Points deduction or ground closure or a huge £40m fine. I cant think of a better club for it to go tits up on. 1

I agree, hope it cripples them. Dont know about fines but their board asked permission from the premier league to play 3 more games at Wembley and were successful. The NFL game that was scheduled, has also been moved to Wembley. So you would think they should suffer some sort of financial punishment, not sure if it would be spurs or the contractors that would be responsible for it though.

The contractors have broken no league rules spuds have. Knowing that cvnt Levy he will make money out of it.

ealingfox Posted 14 August 2018 Posted 14 August 2018 The authorities will do whatever they need to do to accommodate Spurs, they've already bent the rules for them. Naive to think they'll get in any trouble over this.

I can recall seeing a video of him heading a ball in a nightclub and that’s about it (I’m sure some of you will post some links from the rags). He’d just shone at the World Cup and was left to have a laugh and a drink in one of the most popular tourist resorts in Europe. That’s just one example. Funnily enough I had Maguire in mind when writing that https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/998430/Harry-Maguire-girlfriend-Fern-Hawkins-bottom-bikini-Barbados-pictures-latest-news/amp 1

Can see the atmosphere being like West Ham's with a lot of the seats being quite a distance from the pitch. That single tier south stand is going to be mega, especially when it gets converted to standing.

In the 2016-17 campaign in which clubs benefited from a record £8.3bn in global TV revenue, matchday income contributed less than 20p in every £1 earned by 18 top-flight outfits. The number of clubs that would have recorded pre-tax profits even if matchday income was taken away rose from two in 2015-16 to 10 in 2016-17. Dr Rob Wilson, a sport finance specialist at Sheffield Hallam University, said the previous £3.018bn broadcast deal struck in 2012 signalled a permanent change to top-flight football as a business in England. "That is when the focus really went toward generating TV money rather than matchday ticket receipts," he told BBC Sport. "The revenue structures of those clubs are fairly well there to stay now. "When you get a £120m payout from the Premier League for kicking a ball around, you can play in an empty stadium if you need to. "From a revenue generation perspective clubs do not rely anymore on matchday ticket income." The list of Premier League clubs who could have made a pre-tax profit without matchday income in 2016-17 and the sum of those profits Hardly new as everyone knows that match day revenue is basically a bonus, but the thing Dr Bob misses is that sky and the premier league haven't really got a product because its basically the fans that they are selling. It doesn't matter how skillfull and talented those players are because at the end of the day no fans = Sunday league football and its always been that way and always will. It's no different to the gladiators in Rome in the Colosseum. 1

We all know Spurs shit themselves whenever they have a chance of winning anything. Now they will play in an actual toilet bowl. It is beyond genius. 2
Wortho Posted 14 August 2018 Posted 14 August 2018 Spurs haven't even laid the turf or have any seats in yet. It is a building site!!!! It couldn't have happened to a nicer club!!!

The Bear Posted 14 August 2018 Posted 14 August 2018 The NFL pitch is definitely all done, don't know about the football pitch. I like the stadium personally, especially the large one tier end. That's what our owners want at Wolves too.
