The more stadiums than West Ham have points gag may be wearing thin, but there could be some light at the end of the tunnel.
Gladys was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance this week of two workers on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This pair had the same demeanour as several others she’d spoken to recently, which is to say the offers of saucy video clips and photographs of chaos appear long gone.
In fact, it could be suggested that since ENIC stopped throwing overtime monies at anyone capable of saying ‘yes please!’, that the quality of people discussing the build out of hours – has gone through the roof – if you’ll pardon the pun.
This week, interior furnishings began arriving in earnest, we’re talking carpets and other furnishings.
For those looking for that ‘big’ clue as to when the stadium will eventually be open, Glad was also advised that once the grass has been laid, it will then be approximately 10 days before a game of football could be played in the surface.
The grass has obviously been grown and is being maintained elsewhere and a settling/bedding-in period of 7 days plus is required.
