Tottenham stadium: What is the latest update on Spurs new ground, and when will their first game there be?

TOTTENHAM fans are being forced to wait extremely patiently for their new stadium to be complete.

Spurs were set to play just one home game this season away from the new White Hart Lane but are now set to spend more than half the 2018/19 campaign at Wembley.

When were Spurs meant to move into the new stadium?

Tottenham were expected to play their first game at the new Tottenham stadium on Saturday, September 15.

But that game at home to Liverpool was played at Wembley and Spurs lost 2-1.

When will Spurs move into the new stadium?

Tottenham have announced that their new stadium will not be ready until 2019.

That means every Premier League and European home game up to and including their match against Wolves on December 29 will be played at Wembley.

And delays could continue into the new year with Daniel Levy admitting he doesn't know when the stadium will be ready.

The Spurs chief blamed missed deadlines and “factors completely outside of our control” for the latest setback.

Red-faced Levy said: “I wish I was able to confirm an exact opening date and fixture.

“However, in light of factors completely outside of our control, contractors missing deadlines and possible future unforeseen issues, we are naturally being cautious in respect of our timetable for our test events and official opening game.

“We have taken the decision to confirm today that all home games will be played at Wembley Stadium up to and including the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 29 December.

“We know the continued delay is a source of immense disappointment to everyone and I can only continue to apologise for this - it is a sentiment felt by all of us.”

What will the stadium be called?

The originally-titled ground will be called the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
