Spurs’ new stadium

Thanks. It looked ridiculous in the match against Barcelona. If it's anything like that, it might hinder some of our play. Having said that, if they water it well before the match in two weeks, that should mitigate some of the roughness.

Still, there has to be a standard to be maintained by premier league teams with regards to pitch condition. Hosting NFL and boxing matches isn't really an excuse. I guess the fact that Wembley isn't Tottenham's actual stadium makes this a murky area.
Do you know there is a standard are are you just suggesting there should be one?
 
You do realise, I hope, that there's an NFL match being played on it the day before our match?

Is there a reason for that?

No, I was saying there ought to be. But I don't think there is. Remember the clasicos back in 2011 between Barcelona and Madrid? The latter didn't cut or water the grass and deliberately created an unplayable pitch so as to upset Barcelona's passing game. Milan did something similar at the San Siro 2 years later, After Which Arsene Wenger issued a complaint to UEFA.

Pitches should be playable. Length of grass, dryness etc should all be standardized. It's 2018. Seeing a pitch like the one at Wembley the other day was odd and disappointing.
