So after a national paper exposed the story that the new stadium would not be ready by next month, Spurs were forced to release a statement saying that they will be playing their next few games at Wembley. Which also means the NFL game there has to move too.
Fans are rightly not happy, given that they've paid a fortune (many paying over 1k) for season tickets and even as recently as last week Spurs apparently sent out an email asking fans if they wanted to be part of their home cup game ticket scheme, whilst clearly knowing they wouldn't be playing at the new stadium. This coming off the back of even less summer signings than Charlton made, means the Spurs lot are not a happy bunch right now.

Under the circumstances it’s chicken feed compared to our plight but watch the media coverage they’ll get in comparison.
I see Ericsson is being linked with PSG, that'll cheer up the Spurs fans ever more!
It doesn’t bear thinking about.
Look at the great job he's done at Sparrows Lane
Not many clubs that build a stadium on the same site as their old one do it in just over a year, do they?! Chelsea were scheduled to be at Wembley for 4 years while they redeveoped Stamford Bridge. It was hugely ambitious.
The main issue for most of us is that Levy has been blatantly lying. I've got a couple of friends that work for Mace (the main constructor) and they said 6 months ago the ground was up to 5 months behind schedule. I found out recently that one of my colleagues husbands is one of the PMs and they were saying the same. Everyone working on the project knew it was behind yet Levy consistently said it was on schedule, pretty much duping every season ticket holder into paying for an increased season ticket to still play at Wembley.
We wont be playing there until 2019.
and the main entrance to the stadium looks 2 months away from being ready
No way will that be completed this year.
Their new ground will look really dated and old fashioned in 25 years time.
Probably be given the status of historical listed building.
