They're not us though
Thank fuck!
I will bet you £1000 here and now they don't.
Ha. clever. I'll be straight with you. I might be wrong. And I can't afford to pay you £1000 if I am. However, I'm willing to make a £100 bet with you, for any name charity, that we won't be in a new stadium by the planned date of July 2018. In fact I'll go further. July 2019.
So what was all this stuff and nonsense that wembley wasn't a viable venue for us due to the limit on the number of events that could be held there during each calender year ?
Chelsea can fuck off
Nah mate, sorry, that's a mugs bet. I had an extension on my house that was a year over the build time so not for me. But my original bet stands, we will be in ours before them.
I would honestly rather shit in my hands and clap than set foot in that place more than I have to once a season.
According to Sunday Supplement the issue is that Chavs need to move out for three years (possibly done in two) and we only want one year. The expectation is that the FA will go with Chavs for the longer term revenue. To be honest it makes financial sense and I'm pretty sure they would put clauses in the deal whereby early release would incur financial penalties.
If they wanted to, they could quite easily accommodate two teams. They have semi-final games two days in a row quite easily.
Then surely it would be better for the FA to accommodate us for 1yr followed by the Chavs for three years giving the FA 4 consecutive years of income. As our plans are far more advanced than theirs I fail to see why this hasn't been mentioned. The only complication I see is, many building projects often over run and if we miss certain dates and not have a licence signed off for a stadium we might have to delay moving in for a further season and therefore delaying chavs.
Just have the contingency to move to MK if we over run in your scenario?
That's one option but in reality I don't see the chavs being ready to move out of SB for at least 4yrs-5yrs, they have a shit load of work to do before they can start to be guaranteeing dates themselves. At least we have started to build ours. There's is still at an artist impression stage.

I would have no problem with this. They are squatters in North London and I don't view any stadium they have here as their home.
Don't they do that with the play offs as well?
This doesn't sound particularly promising. The Daily Mail is reporting that Chelsea are not amenable to a ground share at Wembley and that they are further along in negotiations with the FA than we are.
Desperate Spurs are losing ground in Wembley battle with Chelsea
:avbfacepalm:
Has Tracey Crouch been reshod recently?
Just asking.....
Wembley bosses could have the arse ache with us for raping the NFL games.
