Premier League clubs are reportedly fed up of the ongoing struggles surrounding Tottenham’s new stadium.

According to The Telegraph, Premier League clubs are ‘frustrated’ with the ongoing saga over Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium.

Spurs left White Hart Lane at the end of the 2016-17 season, as building work started on their new stadium just yards away from their historic home.

Tottenham spent last season at Wembley Stadium as they waited for their stadium to be completed, with an initial opening date of September 15^th set, with the home game against Liverpool supposed to be the dawn of a new era.

However, Spurs have suffered delay after delay, and having pushed the date back to late September and then October, it now seems that Spurs won’t be in their new home until early 2019.

The situation has been embarrassing for Spurs, and the cost of the stadium is now set to be double the initial price according to The Telegraph, with the whole situation become a farce.

Now, The Telegraph claim that rival Premier League clubs are becoming ‘frustrated’ with the situation for a host of reasons; playing on a battered Wembley pitch from NFL games, having clubs potentially play away games at Spurs in different stadiums and the constant delays because Tottenham’s bid to move in so early was overly ambitious.

The Premier League have been hugely accommodating to Spurs during these struggles, but most fans now can’t wait for the whole sorry saga to be over – and other clubs are seemingly in a similar boat, just hoping that a level playing field, possibly quite literally, can be established again soon.
