I wouldn't expect sympathy from anyone, but I don't think we should be punished for things outside our control either.
as much as i agree with the results (playing there when we can), its tough to say it was in out of our control. we selected the contractors and agreed to the timeline. and as others point out or allude to, its a 5-6M fine to us but could be worth quite a bit more to teams in the relegation zone or hunting for a champion's league spot, etc. don't think for a second that other teams in the hunt for the Champions League haven't taken notice of the dropping attendance at Wembley. Some will raise a stink if we are allowed into the stadium with a few games left.
