Cade Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Abramovich cancels his £1billion Stamford Bridge upgrade plans due to the ongoing UK visa problems. The UK refused him a work visa, so last week he applied for Israeli citizenship (no, I have no idea why either). UK govt then said that would have no effect on his work visa status. So now he's cancelled his new stadium plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel has visa-waiver agreements in place with most of the western world countries so he can move about freely even into and out of the UK. Just can't work here.

The Treasurer Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The Spurs sliding pitch idea was similar to the original plans for the London Stadium, along with retractable seating. However Seb Coe, being the arrogant tosser that he is refused to agree to it, saying it was to be an athletics stadium. The ironic thing is that, had this been done in the original build, it would have cost less that the final cost and the cost of the alterations required when West Ham moved in and would have been much more like a "purpose built" football ground but still be able to accommodate athletics and other events.

Having watched the video, seems to be a huge number of things that could possibly go wrong with the system, might be lucky that it only needs moved a few times a season! Just wish they'd hurry up tbh, now looking like july/august before raiders/seahawks tickets will go on sale as it is, due to Spurs being unable to confirm the seating plan with additional NFL cameras in situ (would have though that if you are building a stadium with an NFL pitch then you would have fixed camera points build into the design but seemingly not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Planning is not required as it does not change the public external appearance of the stadium. A Building Warrant however is required.
