It would have been a travesty to lose to liverpool in our very first game. Hopefully we will play someone weak so we can get off to a winning start.
Agree. City will be a piece of piss.

lol someone Sissoko's name get brought into this
Not the case
Wembley play back to back games all the time
I bet the NFL has a get out clause...Worryingly as far as I’m concerned the NFL have had way way too much exposure from us in this whole build
Some of the brochures etc were embarrassing. More moch ups with NFL logos than Cockerels!
Fuck ive booked hotel and flights to watch the city gameI imagine they'd need time to get the ground ready for NFL.
Turnaround is probably too quick.
They can’t replace the football markings with the NFL markings in 24 hours. It’s one of the reasons why we’ve put down a dedicated artificial surface for NFL games at the new stadium.
JJ said it will definitely be ready for Liverpool, so that's enough for me.
Look, I've never even been up there and I can guarantee everyone that loads of areas and features will be unfinished and unusable on 15 Sept. It's just the way it goes in development. You sort out the critical stuff so you can open on time, or sell the flats if it's residential. The rest follows on later.
It will not be "finished". I don't bet, but if I did...
It will almost certainly be "ready" to play a football match, unless something unexpected goes wrong between now and then.
hertyid: Club still expects Liverpool game at WHL, just bought the option for Wembley to avoid any major issues including fines and points deductions down the road.
Since when did anyone believe anything Neil Ashton and the Sun says FFS?!?!
He’s just shit stirring. It’s nothing we didn’t know already.
Are people really citing the sun as a credible information source? Amazing, they belong tin the same bin as the daily heil!
I would have saved slot of money too ON MY RENEWALIf the club didn't care they could have said we'd have two years at Wembley and Levy would have saved a lot of money and sleepless nights.
People have paid thousands, have had 40% increases in the price of their season ticket and now 3/19 games are at a neutral ground with a further game in the balance. It also looks like we won't have Champions League football in our own stadium for the third year running.
Fans are perfectly entitled to be pissed off when the club have been quick enough to take our money off us, delayed refunding 'credit', delayed refunding new season ticket holders their membership fees and fans having to rely red top newspapers to hear the news. Everyone has been more than patient with this whole process and the whole communication from the club has been disgusting imo.
It was a statement that was clearly half complete and was only released because someone leaked whats happened to Neil Ashton. They meant to work on it and soften it up a bit for the fans for the set release date on friday afternoon at 5pm. But there hand was forced by Neil Ashton.Why offer ST holders the opportunity to go gold last week knowing full well what was going on??? Only reason a statements been released is because the press got wind. Communications absolutely woeful! To me the Statement seems more concerned with the NFL than announcing anything regarding the 42,000 ST holders paying the highest prices world football. Embarrassing all round
No way do I want our first game there to be a five miles drubbing to Citeh. We've had enough humiliation this year already...I don't want the first game at the new ground to be against City.
Five nil fucking predictive shitNo way do I want our first game there to be a five miles drubbing to Citeh. We've had enough humiliation this year already...
More than patient? The club have tried to build a brand new stadium in less than 2 years. We've had ONE whole season away from our own stadium. Listen, I understand why people are upset but you pay for season tickets up front and the terms & conditions are there to warn you about possible change.
Equally this has been discovered today around safety issues and club have communicated immediately.
I know I'll get hammered by most of you but surely there were always going to be risks and difficulties with such an ambitious project. You'll have to wait a month or two longer but you pay to watch your team play. Granted some more games will now be at Wembley but still, i just feel like some are acting like the club are doing this on purpose just for The fun of it.
Only 3 games?...To say I'm pissed off about this an understatement. I hated going to Wembley last season and now have to do it at least 3 more times this season
While i fully understand that projects the size of the new stadium are prone to delays, this last week has left me feeling disillusioned with the club.
