Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand



Tottenham will not play in their new stadium until March at the earliest because crucial safety features will not be finished, Love Sport Radio can exclusively reveal.
Spurs are currently still playing home games at Wembley after they failed to complete construction on their new £800million ground before the season started.
The difficulties have also forced the club to reschedule their home game against Emirates Marketing Project from Sunday October 28 to the Monday night because of a clash with an NFL match at the national stadium.
Spurs will even play their Carabao Cup third-round tie against Watford at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes because Wembley is unavailable that week.
And now Love Sport Radio has learned from sources with intimate knowledge of the construction process at White Hart Lane that the in-stadium sprinkler system, which is automatically activated in the event of a fire, will not be completed until March at the earliest.
 
If the delay till April is true it can finally put to bed this notion he is a super chairmen. Yes he is better then a lot of others but he is not amazing.

He mentioned a few times he was personally over seeing the build, seen articles where he went to America to look for lift parts.

Obviously the will be project managers and stuff. But he needs to take some responsibility.

Levy is human too, and deserves a bit more respect.. It's obvious he's put his recent life into this, and his legacy will be how good the stadium is, not how long the delay was.

Yeah...what is the need to apportion blame here? Particularly on someone that has tried to pull of something spectacular in terms of timescale and has thrown his heart and soul into it? Sure, it hasn't gone perfectly, but it will be finished at some point, and when it is it will be bloody fantastic.

Someone ballsed up the fire safety systems and as much as I'm sure Levy would appreciate the buck stops with him, we can't ask him to be an expert on them too.

I think blame someone if they've been negligent, or if they didn't work as hard as they could have, or if it was supposed to be easy but has actually been made to look really difficult. But why 'blame' someone for shooting for the moon and falling just short?

Love Sport Radio = Fake news
 
I'd never heard of 'Lovesport radio' til now. Nothing like starting some flimflam rumour (that was probably plucked from thin air with zero facts to substantiate it) to get possibly the highest level of coverage they've ever had.

clams.

It's not horse manure. They have spoken to a guy who talked to his hairdresser, who's cousin knows a bloke that said it won't be ready until April. Hard facts!
 
Look, my view is that whatever hapeens with the opening date, the club and Levy will have delivered an absolutely enormous project (I've been part of two relatively miniscule capital projects in my time, one in Stratford East - they are a nightmare:both overran by 18 months because of architecture, building and ultimately safety issues as legislation was always developing). It's massive. It's huge. Look how far we've come. It will be great, and all the other London teams (and others) will be in awesome jealously.

I don't like it at all - I much prefer the Mutual Friends Provident Stadium at St Mary's of Southampton. Not.
Will look beautiful with the Golden Coc-ke-rel installed on the walkway gantry and spotlit.

Last night a friend of mine that works at the stadium let slip some further details about the new Golden Coc-ke-rel; it will have purple gemstones for eyes and lasers installed behind, so if a rival fan is spotted celebrating amongst the Spurs fans he can be identified and laser-beamed in the face until his face melts.

I heard this too.
 
By the way, I'm loving the stadium, but I do think it would look tighter, more intimidating with a narrower south stand, something like this

I know sight lines and geometry may preclude this option

Edit - damn, imgur links are awkward to embed! If you hover on the image you get tiny arrows to go left and right, to see the difference. [[Yes, it took me a full 2 minutes to make this image, it is not supposed to be a work of art]]

I’m away at the moment so am a bit behind with all the news. But Love Sport Radio - isn’t it that Ricky Sacks bloke who does a Spurs slot on that? He is a bit Mr negative imo and quick to slate. Hopefully whatever the source it’s rubbish.

If it’s true then I’d rather we cut our losses and played the whole season at Wembley. Moving into NWHL in March will I think take the gloss off the whole thing. Plus the players having to adapt to new surroundings as we get into the ‘business’ end of the season doesn’t seem like the greatest idea.
