Spurs at The Risk of Losing Their New Stadium

All can remember that Tottenham Hotspur endured playing at Wembley for about 18 months as they waited for the completion of their new stadium. But as we truly talk, they are comfortably enjoying their home.

The new stadium has rocked everyone both Spurs and football fans around the world and the club have penned down some memorable moments at the stadium.

Most notable was beating Manchester City 1-0 and bundling them out of the Champions League competition.

However, according to a report, Tottenham may be at risk of not being allowed to play at their new 62,000 plus seat ground next season.

Spurs were apparently only granted a permit to play games there on a temporary basis by Haringey Council and will have to complete vital electrical and safety system work over the summer in order to meet regulations for the new season.

The report adds that Daniel Levy has laid into the stadium contractors over the last two weeks, demanding that they finally get the job done after the project was supposed to be completed in September 2018.

The club are currently operating on an event to event basis, including the planned screening for the Champions League final.

A club spokesperson said: “It is normal to be granted a game by game safety certificate at a new event-based venue and it was always the case that we would work in this way when we first opened.

“This gives the local authority time to work with the Club to review safety procedures and crowd flows.

“None of the outstanding works are build related – they are related to functionality and integrating them into our building management system, all part of making this the most technologically advanced stadium around.

“The trade teams along with our stadium ops team have met with the Chairman every Tuesday for the last three years.

That means that Spurs will likely go back to Wembley should they fail to meet the necessary requirements.
