Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Doubt it will be a mid week game. And cup games are not good to schedule things around from a planning sense.
I'm thinking the Newcastle fixture the first weekend of February will be the internal target now. They haven't changed the fixture list for TV yet on that weekend, so they may slot the game as an early or late kick on Saturday or push it to Sunday. Only one "big" fixture that week (City hosting Woolwich), so the Spurs match is likely to be moved out of the Saturday 3p slot for TV regardless.
The plastic seats look ready to snap, peeling paint, rusty metalwork, and leaky floors in the stands causes a waterfall to cascade to the tier below when it rains.
They only looked after the VIP boxes, team areas, and bits you see on tv. Nice museum though.
So.. looks to my untrained eye that Newcastle on 2nd or 3rd of Feb will be the first game.
Looks like that bar was made on one of them “DIY on a Budget” Facebook pages.
NEEDS MOAR GLITTAH!
That is a good point. Presumably the club think there is a chance we can open up with the Watford match.
One way or the other they were up to something.
That's over half my season ticket paid for next season.
I heard today from a third party that they're looking for a 'big' fixture to open the ground - and that looks to me like March 2nd...
Got to be April 27th then.They don't come much bigger than World Cup winners.....
Any fixture that opens the new ground is a big fixture in my book.
Surely it'd be the first leg of the round of 16 game in February if they want to open it in a big fixture?
Nou Camp looks very good for camera shots....not so much when your actually there though.
Opening it in a big fixture is stupid. People will attend and watch anyway given it's the first match there and playing a lesser side who we're more likely to beat will give the players confidence. Once it's ready, play in it for God's sake, whether that's Juventus in the CL, Watford in the prem, or a league 1 team in the cup
When I did the tour 12 years ago, I was impressed but hadn't remembered that it was completely open to the elements, no cover whosoever. The end we were in was very basic, just concrete everywhere you look. Some of the steps were badly worn and crumbling. Bit of a let down but the result made up for it.
Our beautiful stadium is going to knock spots of it.
Raiders will probably be Mexico so it's down to the other three
Very much looking forward to Sunday now
Seriously? you think this news is being buried .... you don't think it's on every media, newspaper, blog, social site and football forum within seconds of being announced .... this is the 21st century not the 1950's ....
DL has made it very clear ... "What I don’t want to do is set any firm dates until we have finally achieved a safety certificate"
Just what else is the club supposed to say?
Depends what you want. I couldnt give a fuck about a cheese room or a 8k seat with buffet that I would never be able to afford. It used to be about football, steep stands with plenty fans.
