The rule is still in the rule book.
But the FA agreed we could have an exemption this season. Once that principle was in place, bartering the number of games became fairly trivial.

Agree mate, simply saying why people are unhappy about it - We will be breaking a rule if we do play at NWHL this season and so they're well within their rights to complain....
PL rules state you can only have 1 stadium - we were given special dispensation for a couple of games which has turned into a few months.
I can see why other clubs are tinkled TBH.
Far as I was aware the rules are you can only play your home games at one ground in a season and Levy managed to negotiate around this which is why many complained, I bet if it was Arsenal or Chelsea doing it many on here would.....
Ground Registration
K.5. Each Club shall register its Stadium with the Board and must play all matches in the competitions listed in Rule L.9 for which it is the Home Club at the Stadium. No Club shall remove to another Stadium (either on a permanent or temporary basis) without first obtaining the written consent of the Board, in accordance with Rule K.6, below.
K.6. In considering whether to give any such consent, the Board shall have regard to all the circumstances of the case (including, but not limited to, the factors set out in this Rule K.6) and shall not consent unless reasonably satisfied that such consent:
K.6.1. would be consistent with the objects of the League as set out in the Memorandum;
K.6.2. would be appropriate having in mind the relationship (if any) between the locality with which by its name or otherwise the applicant Club is traditionally associated and that in which such Club proposes to establish its Stadium;
K.6.3. would not to any material extent adversely affect such Club’s Officials, Players, supporters, shareholders, sponsors and others having an interest in its activities;
K.6.4. would not have a material adverse effect on Visiting Clubs; Clubs: Operations Section K: Stadium Criteria and Broadcasters’ Requirements 136Rules: Section K
K.6.5. would not to any material extent adversely affect Clubs (or Football League clubs) having their registered grounds in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location; and
K.6.6. would enhance the reputation of the League and promote the game of association football generally
Also i believe the rule actually has a caveat about extenuating circumstances anyway
No you can't, because they have accepted it. Whether it was for 3 games, 10 games or 15 games has absolutely no relevance. If anything, having less games at our new home should favor the other teams in the league, as we only gain, that supposedly unfair, advantage of playing at the teams actual home venue for just a few games, instead of the playing home for whole season, like all the other teams do!Which was covered by our first few games at Wembley.
It doesnt bother me in the slightest, but you can understand the annoyances of other clubs.

Nothing wrong with their "taste the difference" range …
Or maybe Nike were looking where to put their swoosh sign on the stadium?Looks like something was being filmed at the stadium, as per a discussion on skyscrapercity. I’d guess it was it was just an advert for Nike or something but let’s hope it’s a promo video announcing our first game their!
