Spurs Word On The Tweet

Some Spurs Fans Understand, Others Fume Re Stadium News – But A Couple Of Valid Points Are Made

|

With news of further stadium delays following the redesign of White Hart Lane this summer and the potential that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to play games at Wembley Stadium into 2019, the reactions have been wide and varied on social media.

As said for me, despite knowing some won’t agree, it’s a story whipped up by the media for the typical ‘doom and gloom’ response that football fans are prone to when living in the moment. Nowt wrong with that, we all have our trigger points, this just isn’t one for me.

Safety concerns always have to win out when it comes to building work and even the best-planned projects are always subject to snagging and wriggle room and that’s only magnified when you look at building a stadium with over 1000 workers at all times beavering away on something. It’s not like we’re rebuilding a cupboard, replacing a kitchen or adding an extension!

There were some valid points made by fans though as they took to the interweb to voice their frustrations.

Communication could certainly have been better, I don’t think anyone would or could argue differently. This didn’t creep up overnight and even if some fans expected delays, it’s not for fans to expect – confirmation could’ve come earlier and had it done so, with a proper explanation, I think reactions would’ve been more tempered as the club would’ve been up front and not open to claims the tabloids forced them into admitting it.

It would’ve counted for something.
