This whole time i've been thinking that those black panels on the front of the club shop were massive LED screens
Slightly disappointed to find out they aren't, would've been very 2049

I think it's all pending an update from Tyco (or whoever is in charge of the failed safety system) as our timeline depends on theirs.
Hopefully that'll be soon though, it's all so up in the air at the moment.
If the target is (say) the end of October, but dependent upon the 'safety systems' being sorted out, I think Spurs will want to be 100% certain the safety systems and a few other things are sorted out before making an announcement - otherwise imagine the shitstorm if there is a further delay after another timetable is announced.
So with a target of end October, I could imagine the next announcement being in say 3rd week of September saying there will be a test event (eg u23's match) in 2nd week of October and final test event in 3rd week of October and first PL match on [29th ? October] etc.
So think we could have a little more time to wait.
Cannot see any advantage to the club issuing any announcement on this before it has to......sadly
Barnaby is looking a bit rough...
Bad news we cannot be sure to host ManCity at end October at NWHL, that takes us into the November fixtures.
But this sounds more optimistic
'Despite the possibility that our new stadium could be ready to host this match, this would not be known until much closer to the date of the game. We have therefore agreed with the Premier League that, in the interests of clarity and certainty, we shall confirm this game as taking place at this time at Wembley Stadium so that fans of both teams can now make travel arrangements accordingly'
No surprise with all 3 CL fixtures being at Wembley, once the 2nd has to go to Wembley the 3rd was always going to follow
Been going with the mentality that we won't play in the new ground until 2019. Saves disappointment and seems to be most realistic given the circumstances.
I liked the wording on that statement, seemed a lot more sincere, apologetic and honest.
These are tough times for Levy. He's still trying to work out whether it's worth getting a new Oyster card for those trips to Wembley.Anyone would think he could afford a copywriter
The pitch is gonna be like shit, one day after an NFL game
Might do us a favour with Man City & their ridiculously slick passing game. Either way it's a bit of a touch that we don't have to worry about an extra stadium or any kind of knock on effects that could cause

I hope not. Yes it would be glorious to beat them but no guarantee and so the possibility of losing the first game would be unbearable against them cunts and forever in the history books. No thanks.
It will be a big enough day as it is without the rivalry. Burnley would be perfect for me in all respects.
I'm getting married on the day of the Chelsea game... I'd REALLY like a different match to be the first game at the new ground....
Are you going to the wedding?
