Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed that the club will continue playing their home matches at Wembley till the end of the year.

A release on the club’s website added that a final date for the inauguration of the stadium could not be shared.

“I wish I was able to confirm an exact opening date and fixture. However, in light of factors completely outside of our control, contractors missing deadlines and possible future unforeseen issues, we are naturally being cautious in respect of our timetable for our test events and official opening game.

“Whilst we are conscious of the need to keep pressure on our contractors to deliver as soon as possible, we are also acutely aware of how difficult the lack of clarity is for you, our supporters, to plan around games, particularly those at Christmas and New Year.”

The chairman added that the festive period would affect the manpower at the stadium, and factoring all the issues, the decision was taken to keep playing at the stadium till 29th December.

“In light of the above, and taking into account the restricted availability of manpower over the festive period, we have taken the decision to confirm today that all home games will be played at Wembley Stadium up to and including the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 29 December.”

Levy finished by saying that he hoped the final product would make the supporters proud and that another update on the stadium would be provided in December.

This has come as a major blow since Mauricio Pochettino had claimed we could be playing at the new home prior to Christmas.
