Tottenham have asked for special dispensation to play their third round Carabao Cup tie against Watford at Stadium MK, as per the Guardian.
The report adds that our new stadium would not be ready in time for the game and Wembley would not be available either.
The report adds that fans will have to travel more than 50 miles from the address of their new ground.
The club did add that the stadium would not be an “ideal destination for every fan to get to on a weekday evening”. However, this was done to ensure we get an allocation of 90% tickets at a neutral venue rather than a 10% allocation of tickets, had we reversed the fixture.
A few Spurs fans were upset at the latest stadium issue and here are some of their reactions from Twitter.

With all due respect it’s a very British issue. Many fans here view what MK did to Wimbledon FC as a big scandal. By borrowing their ground we are essentially legitimizing them. Think the trust went too far with their statement tho

Older spurs fans like me hate MK (Wimbledon) with every fibre of my being.

Can’t use Wembley. Can’t use WHL, anything else is rubbish and using MK has upset the trust so it’s quite funny

Tottenham go and play one little game up at the stadium MK and before we know it there will be a Milton Keynes Spurs knocking about at the bottom of the football league
