Tottenham given permission to stay at Wembley for entire season in case new stadium is not ready
Spurs have seen numerous set-backs since the initial September 15 opening date and it was recently revealed that February is now more realistic
TOTTENHAM have been granted permission to remain at Wembley for the entire season in fresh fears their new stadium won't be ready for the whole campaign.
The club have seen numerous set-backs since the initial September 15 opening date and it was recently revealed that February is now a realistic date.
It looks phenomenal from the inside but there are still structural and electrical concerns that need to be sorted.
And as a contingency plan, the club have struck a deal with the WNSL to remain at the national stadium if the new ground is not fit to host matches this season.
A statement read: "As a contingency measure to ensure we can stage our matches whilst we await certainty on the exact opening date of our new stadium, the Club has reached agreement with WNSL to host any additional home games that we may have to play at Wembley Stadium.
"As announced previously, we shall look to provide a further update on stadium progress in early December."
Boss Mauricio Pochettino has asked fans to remain patient and insists it will be "the best in Europe."
Spurs have been playing their home matches at Wembley for the last 18 months.
The switch to the new venue saw Spurs hold back on their transfers in the summer, with Pochettino landing not one single player.
Poch said: "I would like to be 20-years-old and be a player that Tottenham offer a contract to, because [the stadium] will be amazing.
“Again I say to our fans ‘patience’, because it’s going to be the best stadium in Europe.”
