Tottenham Hotspur agreed a five-year deal with rugby union outfit Saracens today.
Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter haven’t reacted well to what their club announced this afternoon.
Tottenham have partnered up with rugby union side Saracens, who will play their annual ‘Big Game’ Gallagher match at Spurs’ new stadium from next year.
The Lilywhites’ new home will also host NFL games and for one day a year it will now be the location for Saracens and fellow Londoners Harlequins in a Premiership clash.
It’s a five-year deal and another source of revenue from the stadium which cost £1 billion to build.
But Tottenham fans, whose side have won just one point from the last 15 on offer in the Premier League, jeopardising their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, have been mocking the partnership on social media today.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side christen their new home tomorrow when Crystal Palace travel across the capital for a Premier League game.
The North Londoners are enduring a dreadful run of form and, having been leapfrogged by third-placed Arsenal on Monday, Tottenham really need to win.
The natives are restless but a big victory to mark the opening of the new stadium will reduce some frustration among the club’s fans.
