[Albion] What are the chances we play in Spurs new stadium this season?

[Joshski]

They'll win their second game too as CH always sends the Albion out to get their tummy's tickled by the team he supports.

Like when we drew with Spurs last season?

Agree with what several people have already said - they should see out the season at Wembley now, and start afresh in the new ground in August. Ridiculous moving in for the final few fixtures of this season, esepcially with the added uncertainty there is still due to the potential Cup games. Forget it. They were wildly, foolishly optimistic about starting there last August, and still suppressed the bad news till about May when people had gone to the trouble of committing to tickets that were never going to be used.

They could still potentially be involved in a title run-in. It would be moving the goalposts (quite literally) for them to move into a new venue in time for that. Cannot and should not be allowed.

Given it’s gone very very quiet my guess is they’re behind schedule again. Our game will be at Wembley.

The problem they have as well is that there are fa cup games at wembley, the semis and final. Which will impact on available Saturdays for them.

 

[Napper]

the new stadium appears to tick all the boxes etc etc but I just can't like it.

Not sure what it is but doesn't do anything for me.

The plans looked incredible but its all just a bit non exciting

Maybe just me

There was a contingent of Albion representatives who were invited up that 'open' weekend. Said it looked good but nowhere near finished. Lots of vids on youtube as well.
But to sum up, our game on the 6th wont be a 3pm Saturday whatever happens.

Moving to a new stadium doesn’t automatically guarantee a victory, there’s an added incentive for the visiting team to play out of their skins and home players are not used to the environment and have to learn the new stadium.

Indeed and if, in the unlikely event, it comes to pass we would be well advised to go for the jugular as they would be hopefully all over the place !

But it is a completely new dynamic being introduced VERY late into the season, right at the sharp end. I don't think its right that such a change at such a crucial stage should be allowed.

According to a Spurs fan on another forum:

the strong rumours circulating from club “itk” are the players have been told bar anymore unforeseen complications Brighton will be the first game,

If we get to the FA Cup semi finals, Spurs away will be moved anyway.

they want a guaranteed win … I would bloody love to piss on that parade

 

[Easy 10]

As an aside (didn't think it was worth a new thread), Spurs are 25/1 on Bet365 to win the title. They are currently 5 points off top place, with a game in hand.

All the focus has been on the top 2 teams, and obviously Spurs are the outsiders in that little group....but 25/1 outsiders ?? They visit the Dippers at the end of March, and the Etihad mid-April. Improbable, but not impossible...

Tempted to sling a bluey at it, just in case.

Get our own back for them beating us in the first game at the Amex.

 

[Wozza]

If we get to the FA Cup semi finals, Spurs away will be moved anyway.

And if they haven't moved, that match will be postponed that weekend regardless of whether we're in the semi or not...

 

[pasty]

Oh yeah

 

[Bob!]

And if they haven't moved, that match will be postponed that weekend regardless of whether we're in the semi or not...

....or moved to the Friday / Monday

Pitch would be a MESS.

Lifetime STH that works for me said this yesterday as well..........the Hughton link obviously also adds a bit if it happens

 

[Wozza]

Good job there are no replays from QF onwards.

Due to international weeks around March 23/24, they couldn't be held until April 2 - a few days before the semis.
