TOTTENHAM'S new stadium finally has a pitch, we can reveal in these exclusive pictures.
Spurs staff started laying the turf two days ago as they edge glacially towards opening their £850million new home.
Tottenham had hoped to open their stadium for the game against Liverpool on September 15 but are months behind schedule.
The North Londoners are hoping to leave Wembley behind and move into their new home for their mega clash with Chelsea on November 24.
Earlier this week, Tottenham tweeted: "You can watch the pitch being laid via our live stadium web cams throughout the process."
But now it would appear the grass is ready for action having been laid - over a month before their new intended opening date.
The news will come as a huge boost to fans, with the construction process bordering on farcical at times.
Recently, extraordinary claims that workers had early-morning booze sessions and snorted cocaine in the toilets have emerged.
claims to have heard first-hand accounts of contractors being under the influence of cocaine and alcohol, which has been denied by contractor Mace.
But the company denied the report, which also claimed organisational failures had caused massive issues.
