Hmm, not a footbal fan but there do seem to be a couple of issues here and the FA might not be quite so unfair or stupid as you make out.

Firstly, the new stadium was supposed to be ready, but now won't be. Costs incurred by delays should be recoverable from the contractors under a penalty clause. SO hiring a temporary ground to cover the home game(s) when you don't have your hoped for venue, should still be financially OK.

If you ask the other teams who you were to play to swap over their home/away arrangements, could that place your team at an advantage and them at a possible disadvantage later in the season. Would that mean other teams have a run of away games, and you a run of home games, potentially at a critical time in the season?
