The International Breaks are 3rd to 11th September and 8th to 16th October.
So our first home league game is likely to be either 15th / 16th September or 20th / 21st October.
Likely 15/16th then.

Isn’t the NFL game scheduled for October? Think we should have at least got the safety certificate before October. So I’m going for 15/16th September.
I think Champions League will be more of a concern than the NFL game, as far as I'm aware you aren't allowed to move them.
So depending on the draw we would have our first game on either 18th/19th September or 2nd/3rd October.
If we aren't ready for those then I guess we could play Champions League at Wembley and still play league games at WHL.
What’s that rule meant to address, paddy?
I am not sure but is seems harsh. And I think a lot of football administrators would be sympathic to tottenham case if the build overruns
I think the idea is that, Say, Chelsea can't play at the Nuremburg stadium without selling it out 15 times a year and then rent Wembley when the proper clubs come visit
What’s that rule meant to address, paddy?
Probably two addresses.
fixture list isnt random anymore. never really was. there are so many parameters that are put in the fixture list :us home and gooners away etc, Tv requirements (any one that thinks that the old sky 4 grand slam sundays coming out randomly is an idiot) that its almost done by hand anyway. so for the spectacle (and to keep TV happy), you would have, for example, fulham (only as an example cos they have a small ground) ending up at wembley for the visit of man utd cos it would be close to a sell out.( just 50k of them man utd supporters), happening by "luck of the draw"Makes sense when you think of it that way, but you could also achieve the same thing by asking clubs to declare which time periods they will be playing at particular stadiums for before the fixture list comes out. That would prevent clubs from choosing a stadium to fit the opposition. But yeah, as ArmadilloSackRace says, it could give a bit of an uneven playing field. But that would just be from the luck of the draw of the fixture list, and there are plenty of other ways you can be lucky/unlucky with the fixture list.
Unless it’s a CL sponsor - won’t matter. UEFA would just call it Tottenham Stadium or similar during CL gamesLevy should be desperate to get Champions League at the new Lane as it’ll be a major selling point for naming rights.
You fancy trying that again, but in English?!After today's news when is even September still in doubt
Paddy over here is so paddy that he thinks that the club agreed to start playing in September and placed one of the five biggest games on opening day without being certain that the damn thing will be ready.
Where's the "Fuck off, Levy" option?When now?
