How did West Ham get around that then?
They probably would have drawn Astro Googoo again!

Yeah, surprised to learn that it's exactly the same as the library...apart from one stand...
just out of interest, are we allowed to move part way through the season? Say January?
I'm a pessimist so don't think we've got a cat in hells chance of getting it ready, what with the pitch, sign-offs and I have a feeling the roof might be a bit more than 'drop it on'. Saying that, they're not new developments, they knew these always had to happen and would factor it in. They would also factor in a degree of bad weather over winter impacting the schedule. What they can't account for is a problem in the supply chain - those are the things that will kick the schedule out which are beyond our control.
When will we have to take our option out for an additional season at Wembley? Think this will be the first sign things are behind schedule (if they are).
TBF, it's a massive project so to think it can all be complete within 18months is pushing it...

If the roof goes up in January/early February, we are on time. If not, maybe not. A genuine ITK suggests that we are within range of on time, meaning that everything will be completed before the season, but maybe closer than originally planned.
And you can bet that Levy will request the first home fixture to be pushed back a far as possible to allow extra time. I suspect the first match will actually be after the international break, similar to what Liverpool did last year.

Has that not changed that 4th gets auto group stage qualification now?
From what I can remember about the Premier League's rules, no. They say you can't have 2 "home" venues in a season. It's to stop clubs having say a 35k stadium for most games but changing tons 70k for the top teams to get more income.
No. You have to play all 19 home league games at the same stadium.
If we are late by a day - we are late by a year.
What a fucking Beauty, would be shocked if its not ready on time, thing's seem to be motoring so fast now. Well done to all working on it, must be an awesome project to be involved with. Second pic makes you realise just how amazing it's going to be.
Not really. If we are late by a day, we ask the league to play our first game away. If we are late by a month, we ask for the first four to be away. I’ve a feeling any longer than a month, we’d be in for another season at Wembley, but up to that, we’d get away with.
Liverpool did it when their new stand wasn’t ready. West Ham do it if they have a Tweenies concert or the Junior Shot Putt Championships on.
It's a little confusing to me how absolutely anybody could look at those pictures and think we're way behind. We have about 10 months before the start of next season.
Here's what the stadium looked like 10 months ago:

agree, theres plenty of time. Plus most of the slow concrete stuff is done.
Nope, it changed for next season, the 4th placed team goes straight to the GS now.

Does anyone have a rough idea about how much the increase would be if/ when safe standing is brought in? If it gets up for 65000 that would be class and a job perfectly done!

I was gutted to see the old ground pulled down, ok it was not the same shelf and Paxton from the 60's and 70' but it was a place that was always special, even after 30 years of going to games I would still get that buzz and silly warm feeling upon seeing the ground on match days, but I am now looking at the new WHL taking shape and I grin every time, I can not wait to watch spurs playing there.
Another spurs fan pointed out that after a year at Wembley going back will feel that extra bit special, I agree.
I think it will be in on time. I would advise the Project Director, to put a lot of big bits on.
Then paint it. Do that.

So impatient to get in there for our first game
