The test event at The New Destination™ is a mere 14 days away and in 56 days time Spurs are supposed to be hosting Liverpool Football Club.
A member of the Spurs List has just been up to have look around and the Soul Harvesting Device™ is miles off being ready in time for either event.
“I talked to workmen and they told me that it really was touch and go if the stadium will be ready for the Liverpool game. They said Daniel Levy is very, very angry.”
There are still 4,300 workers in 24hours a day to try to complete the work in time, but most believe the odds of being open in time are 50/50.
However the common opinion is that there ‘isn’t a prayer’ of completing the ticket office in time (or indeed anytime soon).
Other glaring concerns include:
- Club shop – nowhere near opening No ceiling. Bare cables hanging down. No shopfitting started
- Veil cladding – still over half the ground to do. Still significant gaps in the stadium exterior to North West, South West and South East
- Little sign of external work during my visit (2 guys on one cherry picker and a few concrete deliveries)
- Glass roof still not complete and the joins in roof cassettes largely not finished
- About 1/3 of the seats still to go in
- All the franchised food/drink outlets to be kitted out and stocked
- No sign of any real grass
- No sign of any turnstiles
- Ticket office way off completion
- None of the 6 lifts installed yet
Furthermore, it would appear that Transport For London are reluctant to join the party.
No sign of improvements to WHL station or it’s accesses.
Little sign of improvement at Seven Sisters.
The queues will go back miles after games.
Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters will continue to be served only by ‘standard’ buses’
Not to mention this monstrosity is 100% over budget, eh?
