Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

AFAIK the announcer said we hope to be in for the start of the season. Nothing has been confirmed and there's still plenty of time for slippage in the build so nothing has been confirmed either way, obviously.

Cool. What does that bit mean?

We could apply to have our first 3-4 matches at home, then with the international break, not have our first home fixture till late Sept/early Oct sometime. Liverpool did it when they re-did their stand a few years ago. That was a back-up option if we weren't going to meet mid-August.
 
That doesn't make sense. We'd only apply to play games away to start the season if the stadium wasn't ready. Why would the league allow us 4 consecutive home games anyway?

Do you mean away?

Lee Rowswell, the Spurs fan managing the company doing the scaffolding on the stadium, has said this is not correct. Intimates it'll be really rather soon.

I'm sure it said somewhere in the club update when the compression ring was finished that it would only take a week or so to hook up the final cables and then the lift would start.

On SSC they seem to think the two cranes inside the stadium need to be taken down first as well though, though that's not a big job.
 
Surely we would want the build complete in time for some pre season games? Not only for the team but also for the general (inevitable) teething issues in running a match day there?
 
Just noticed the lower tier final extensions are being put on the north stand, thought it was a little far away from the pitch now looking much better.
 
Scaffolding withdrawal syndrome here... No update today?
Does that mean the project is off? I KNEW it! It is a hoax, Levy out, etc. etc.
 
Regular viewers of our stadium webcams will have seen that we have now commenced the installation of decorative tiling on the outside of our stadium. We can reveal that it will feature some of the most well-known words and phrases that represent our famous club.

The six different phrases, all created in our bespoke Club font, will adorn the outside of our new home on each of the six cores of the stadium paying homage to our heritage and core values. The tiles have been specially rendered in the Club's renowned dark blue and will form a key part of the fabric of the building.

The words 'TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR' and 'ESTABLISHED 1882' will be spelt out either side of our West Atrium with our iconic club badge also adorning this elevation of the stadium.

Tiled either side on the opposite East Atrium will be an excerpt from the famous quote from our 1961 Double-winning captain Danny Blanchflower 'The GAME IS ABOUT GLORY' and 'LONDON N17', representing our home city and post code. In fact, the D in ‘LONDON’ is already visible - as our photographs show.

The North West corner will feature our club motto 'TO DARE IS TO DO' with the original Latin form 'AUDERE EST FACERE' appearing on the North East corner. The letters for these will be cast in concrete with a dark blue tiled background.
