No moving in date: Spurs’ stadium has suffered big delays

Tottenham have sent out a desperate plea for more electricians as their stadium situation shows no sign of improving.

Spurs are still unable to confirm when their first game at the stunning new White Hart Lane will be.

Originally they had hoped to play all their Premier League matches back in north London but it now appears at least their first four home games will be elsewhere.

Fans are angry at the delay and disorganisation as the confusion around the new 62,000 ground casts a shadow over their season.

Now the club have moved to get extra sparks into the new stadium in a bid to hurry things up.

According to The Sun, an online recruitment agency has posted a job saying “ten electricians required for immediate start in North London on a large commercial project on three-month contracts”.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino admits he feels “sorry” for chairman Daniel Levy and the club’s fans because of the delay.

“I feel so sorry for myself first of all, for players, fans, everyone,” he said.

“I feel sorry for the chairman – he tried with everyone to arrive on time, he made a massive effort, I feel it every day.”

“But we need to make the effort and try to play in the end because maybe to find another date will be difficult.

“We all feel disappointed with the announcement from the club this week.

“The first thing we can do is try to help, to be positive to adapt ourselves. But now we’re going to play at least two games more at Wembley, that is for sure.

“I hope we can finish the work in that moment and we can play in our new home. If not, we are going to give our best to win games and give good performances.


“This is another disappointment but we need to be all together and that this is a massive project that will be there forever.

“I understand the problems about tickets and the money, I feel sorry for the fans.

“I want to say thank you to them, apologise and try to reward them by winning games. That is the only way we can pay back all the work they have been doing for club.”
