Arsenal fans start petition to see North London rivals Tottenham have points deducted.
Arsenal fans have begun a petition for rivals Tottenham to have points deducted.
The Gunners fans are calling for the FA to dock Spurs points due to their stadium troubles.
The online petition on Change.org has been signed by more than 12,000 Arsenal supporters,
The petition addressed to UK Parliament reads: “Tottenham should be deducted points for not having their new stadium ready for the season 2018/19.
“This is an issue that Tottenham and their owner Daniel Levy have known for some time but they continued to lead their own fans and the public up the garden path, surely the FA have to punish them for their actions, a smaller club would receive a points deduction, so what makes Tottenham an exception to this?”
Tottenham announced a delay to the opening of their new ground last week, which was due to open against Liverpool on September 15.
Spurs are planning on playing at Wembley Stadium until it is ready, with no date currently set for it’ rescheduled opening.
The Mail reported this week Spurs could be waiting until February 2019 for the stadium to be ready.
Tottenham are currently six points ahead of Arsenal, who have lost their opening two matches of the season.
