Tottenham Hotspur are expected to move into their new home for the start of the 2018/19 campaign.
Spurs have been forced to play all of their home games at Wembley Stadium this season, whilst their new home continues to be built, and the club’s fans are salivating at the prospect of moving into their new state of the art arena.
The Lilywhites move to a bigger ground is expected to coincide with a new era of success for the club, what with the added revenue that will be brought in by the extra seats and sponsorship deals.
There has been some chatter recently, however, that the new stadium will not be ready in time for the start of the 2018/19 campaign – a claim that Levy strongly refuted when speaking during a meeting with the club’s supporters’ trust group.
The Spurs chairman spoke during a meeting with Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust on Tuesday, and explained that the compression ring had been completed last weekend and the roof lift was scheduled to be completed in the next fortnight.
He explained how bad weather and high winds had caused the minor delay.
Levy then went on to say that the build was incredibly complex and it was impossible to give an exact date as to when the stadium would be completed.
He said, “However, everyone is working towards being in the new stadium next season and would be extremely disappointed were this not the case. Once the roof has been completed, there’s still a significant amount of technical work to do, however.”
If, for some reason, Spurs’ new home is not ready for the start of next season, Levy insisted that the club have a contingency plan in place, but refused to be drawn on what said plan entailed.
Tottenham fans will be desperate to move into their new home, and judging by Levy’s words last week, they shouldn’t have too long to wait.
