spurs ask for a replay

I'm sur no-one at Spurs really expects a replay. They are asking for one because they feel obliged to. The way this was done in an open letter suggersts that it's purpose was to highlight the FA's shortcomings in dealing with this matter.

The FA clearly had no contingency plan to fall back on in cases like this and performed very badly under pressure. If they had simply said 'Sorry all games must kick-off at 3 this afternoon' or had previously worked out a policy for dealing with this kind of situation then there would be a lot less bad feeling.

Spurs were rightly peeved at the way that the way the FA handled the situation and have responded accordingly.
