Seriously, they don't give a shit about paying fans. Imagine if the email tonight had been just a little bit different. They started by saying sorry, left out the crap about how great their finances are, told us exactly why there's another delay of at least six weeks, announced Chelsea was Cat B to help compensate (probably wouldn't even cost them anything looking at how pathetic sales are for City), and sent everyone a £25 voucher for the shop to encourage them to visit Tottenham and have a look round at the progress made. Instead it's just media management. Who gives a fuck if you're spending a grand a year or more to watch us, got to make sure our brand awareness is top-notch in Shanghai.Cheer up, we've got a shop.
Sure isShit news
Slightly better (but not much), than having an athletics stadium for the next 97 years.So we still have no ground, we're £366m in the red and we'll have shit Nike kits until 2033.
great
I could see that be worked in but it won't be unveiled until the opening. Nike wants to be associated with the finished product. Not the delayed build.No possibility that the 15 year extension to the Nike deal would include a stadium sponsorship? Can't think of any other reason you'd do a 15 year shirt deal (they're usually 3-5 years) unless it's tied to a stadium deal (usually 15-20 years)
Or am I getting 2+2=5?
This is of course true. There are always those that have it worse. Usually West HamSlightly better (but not much), than having an athletics stadium for the next 97 years.

Yes you were right.I believe tomorrow the club will issue a statement as to when stadium will be ready / next home games venue.
The way things are going we'll find a unique way to be knocked out before the 3rd round.This is more shitty news but probably not a surprise so I’m pretty numb to it now.
If it’s Jan we move in then I would actually love the opening game to be a 3rd round FA Cup tie. It would be a nice two fingers up to Sky and it would be pretty sentimental and great considering our history in the competition at white hart lane.
Left mine all there for when we hopefully move in next year.The Chelsea money is in your eticketing account if you want it.
