If this had been done in China it would have been built months ago.
Complete with human rights violations and a work force being paid a pittance. Woo!

Apologies that was tongue in cheek.Complete with human rights violations and a work force being paid a pittance. Woo!
Sounds like the Spurs squad.Complete with human rights violations and a work force being paid a pittance. Woo!

The new stadium also has a soup kitchen? Nice.
Aye they'll be lining up outside the soup kitchens any day now.
I mean we needed something to go with the bakery and what could be better with bread than soup?The new stadium also has a soup kitchen? Nice.
Probably because asking for - and getting - permission is not against the rules.Why would they need permission if it wasn’t against the rules?
Since when did missing 4 home games in our new stadium equate to half a season?It’s unique in that it doesn’t have a trophy cabinet.
Also, calm down, it’s a good talking point as it affects the scheduling of the PL season and brings up questions about fairness of teams playing Spurs in two different venues, which was against the rules until they allowed you to do it this year. I imagine them agreeing to it was in the basis on a few games, which is now turning into half the season.
Yes it will be a fantastic stadium, but try to take a step back and look at it from a neutrals POV.
But why would they need permission if there wasn’t a rule about it?Probably because asking for - and getting - permission is not against the rules.

That article is 3 years old …. things change.
The league rules have changed?That article is 3 years old …. things change.
I think they will be, because Wembley is not built with NFL football in mind. The new Spurs stadium has been, which is why the NFL signed a deal with us.The NFL must be so sad. Moving their game from a not so big stadium to a 50% bigger stadium.
The rule hasn't changed, spurs got special treatment, that's what everyone has an issue with.That article is 3 years old …. things change.
I can only suggest that you email them and ask.The league rules have changed?
But we're the media darlings, so what did you expect?The rule hasn't changed, spurs got special treatment, that's what everyone has an issue with.
Nah I think I'll take the fact that the CEO of the league said it's against the rules and that Spurs had to request permission to do it as a reasonably good indication that it's not within the rules.I can only suggest that you email them and ask.

Genius Levy strikes again.
Doesn't that mean it's within the rules to ask for - and get - permission?Nah I think I'll take the fact that the CEO of the league said it's against the rules and that Spurs had to request permission to do it as a reasonably good indication that it's not within the rules.

Besides, it's a disadvantage to Spurs to be playing at Wembley rather than in our stadium … so what have rival clubs really got to complain about?
It’s a league season and there are 19 other clubs. If playing at Wembley is a disadvantage to Spurs then why is it fair to Huddersfield that Cardiff play there and not this new stadium? Or Liverpool play there and potentially Man City but United and Chelsea don’t. You’re pointing out why it isn’t fair by saying it’s a disadvantage for Spurs to play at Wembley.But we're the media darlings, so what did you expect?

Otherwise, I can only suggest that other clubs sue the Prem authorities for breaking the alleged rules. Although it beats me why they would wish to do so, when it's a disadvantage to Spurs to be playing at Wembley.
I'm thinking not.But the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Scudamore, has revealed that would be against its regulations. “They’d have to play in the same stadium for the entire year,” he said. “For the integrity of the competition. You can’t have 19 home games with 10 at Milton Keynes and nine at Wembley – completely, completely unfair. That won’t be allowed in our competition.”
Well, then I guess it will provide some of these other clubs with a convenient excuse if they fail to make top 4.Because for example Liverpool will play spurs in Wembley and other teams will play in the nfl one, that's precisely the issue.
The latter, I believe.Does Wembley have the ability to lay the NFL pitch over the top, or is the pitch just going to be destroyed for any game after an NFL game?
It affects everyone, the whole league. Everyone should have an issue with it.Well, then I guess it will provide some of these other clubs with a convenient excuse if they fail to make top 4.
We will boast the longest bar in the UK, which IMO is going to earn us at least 6 more points every season.Come on guys, let's talk about unique features.
Grim. Well, I hope it’s us. Will suit our total hoofball, eh?The latter, I believe.

Plus, perfect place to go when we sign nobody again. Bet that's been his plan all along the tight fisted cnut.
Share the legal costs ... and all sue together.It affects everyone, the whole league. Everyone should have an issue with it.
Should have spent at least £200m net on transfers this summer, on top of the £1 billion invested in the new stadium complex and training centre. Talk about penny pinching!We will boast the longest bar in the UK, which IMO is going to earn us at least 6 more points every season.
