Nobody could have predicted the that last 4 months, and the effect it would have on football and other things that are important. So it’s particularly unsettling for a club like Spurs that was run with such fiscal prudence to be first in the queue to get economically hurt by COVID-19.
There may be some crumbs of comfort on the horizon for Daniel Levy as the government look to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for use as a test venue for a gradual return of supporters to the Premier League, according to Harry Pratt for the Daily Star.
Spurs’ venue is ideal to use as a test case as it unquestionably offers the most space as well as the most advanced internal systems. Once a gold standard can be established for health and safety practises, this can then be applied and adjusted as required across all manner of clubs.
The first test might come as soon as next month, with a preseason friendly in August.
