WARSAW, June 21 (Reuters) - Poland’s friendly against Germany in September has been switched to Gdansk because Warsaw’s National Stadium, due to host the opening game of Euro 2012, is still not ready, the Polish Football Association (PZPN) said on Tuesday.

AP - Jun 11, 7:37 pm EDT

Construction delays to stadiums have been a major problem for Poland, who will co-host the June 8-July 1 2012 tournament with Ukraine.

The opening of the Warsaw’s top stadium, which will also stage a Euro 2012 semi-final, has been postponed from June to November.

Poland have already moved a June friendly with France because of delays in works on the Gdansk stadium, which is due to open in three weeks.

“Today we are confident that the September game with Germany will take place in that beautiful stadium (in Gdansk),” deputy head of PZPN Zdzislaw Krecina said in a statement. (Reporting by Patryk Wasilewski, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

BERLIN (AP) —The migration of hundreds of toads to a nearby lake is forcing Freiburg to close an exit road from its stadium after a Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg on Saturday.

The club said Friday that Waldsee Street, which runs west of the Badenova stadium on the edge of the Black Forest, would remain closed after the final whistle, meaning fans will have to make alternative plans to get home.

A team statement said that “as an environmentally committed club SC Freiburg is taking the migration to the forest lake into account, and asks supporters for understanding.”

NYON, Switzerland (AP)—Polish club Lech Poznan has won a partial reprieve after UEFA ruled its new stadium, a 2012 European Championship venue, had security problems.

UEFA’s appeals panel is allowing Poznan to admit 30,000 fans with tickets for a Europa League round-of-32 match against Braga on Thursday, but enforcing a ban on further sales.

UEFA’s disciplinary body ruled last week that the 43,000-capacity Miejski stadium could be no more than half full.

Poznan must pay a ?20,000 ($27,000) fine and play a European match in an empty stadium if any problems are repeated within two years.

UEFA faulted blocked exits, access areas and seat numbering mistakes when Poznan hosted Juventus in December.

Poznan will stage three Euro 2012 matches.

Tottenham Hotspur FC today released the first image of the proposed 60,000 capacity football stadium that would sit in the heart of the Olympic Island site if Spurs /AEG become the successful bidder with the Olympic Park Legacy Company.

Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur FC said:

“We are proposing one of the most advanced, state-of-the-art stadiums in Europe that will deliver an exceptional spectator experience. Fans will be closer to the pitch than at any other comparable size stadium in the UK, while its acoustic design will ensure that the noise from spectators remains within the stadium.

“Our partner AEG would attract and manage a wide range of events for the stadium and surrounding public realm including world class sport, music, festivals, and exhibitions. Tottenham Hotspur would also commit tens of millions of pounds for local sports and community projects and our Foundation would work with relevant partners to bring these to life. Ensuring the stadium and the surrounding space is sustainable, exciting and viable 365 days a year is crucial to our proposal and to the whole future of the Olympic Park.

“Accusations that we would ‘demolish’ £500m of stadium are hugely inaccurate and highly irresponsible and I want to be very clear on this issue. Our proposal will retain around £420m worth of the Olympic Stadium, and we will re-use or recycle the £80m that will be dismantled with zero landfill. It is also important to remember that two thirds of the Olympic Stadium, under the original legacy plan, was to be dismantled – it was not designed to be a permanent structure. Recent scaremongering conveniently forgets this fact.”

As part of its bid to the OPLC, Tottenham Hotspur FC is also proposing the significant redevelopment of Crystal Palace Athletics Stadium that would see its capacity increase to 25,000, with the ability for it to be increased up to 40,000 for major championships.

Daniel Levy added:

“We would increase the current capacity of Crystal Palace by 9,500 to 25,000 and a new 4 lane warm up track and all weather hockey pitch would also be built. With these proposals, Crystal Palace would become a re-invigorated dedicated facility, bringing more activity to the area and be available to the athletics community every single day of the year.”
