Seeing your team winning and clinching silverware certainly brings joy. But what take fans to pinnacle of pleasure is a new home. Especially one with a capacity of 61,000 and worth a jaw-dropping £750 million that Tottenham Hotspur are rapidly working on.
Despite a mixture of results in recent matches, there seem to be positive and exciting vibes at White Hart Lane this campaign. Looking at the course of the league table, the Lilywhites are clearly one of the most genuine title contenders. On the other hand, the fans are eagerly waiting to move into their new home.
What first catches the eyes is the impressive architecture and it will be the biggest of its kind in London. Besides that, the stadium will be equipped with various modern technology, which includes USB points-enabled heated seats, glass-walled players’ tunnel and even a huge beer delivery system. In other words, visitors will never want to leave their seats.
To further tempt the Spurs faithful on what they will be expecting in 2018, concrete manufacturers Macrete Ireland Ltd. have released photos of the stadium on Facebook, as per below:
Next season, the north London club will be playing their home matches at the Wembley Stadium as the White Hart Lane ground will need to be demolished for full-fledged construction work. However, the national stadium hasn’t really been a lucky charm for the side in recent times, as they failed to make their way to the Champions League knockout stage. The team were passionately spurred on by predominant part of the crowd but on the pitch, they looked absolutely abject in most fixtures.
Apart from the building progress, a few days ago, The Times stated that Tottenham Hotspur are holding talks about selling the naming rights, in hope of raising £400 million from a potential deal. On a side note, Chelsea too are battling to secure naming rights.
Spurs’ last game at White Hart Lane is scheduled to be against league rivals Manchester United in the penultimate game of the Premier League season. It’s expected to be an emotional day for the team and fans, before heading to their temporary home.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino’s men will return to the Wembley Stadium for their second-leg Europa League Round of 32 encounter against Gent. Following a 3-0 victory over Fulham in the FA Cup Fifth Round at Craven Cottage, thanks to a hat-trick from Harry Kane, they will be looking to march into the last 16 of the Europa League.
