Nothing official... I think it’s pretty close to the first of these ones by all accounts...

Still time to draw a line under this.The big cranes have all gone from the ground now. There are a couple of little ones (or were, ten days ago), but they may have been for moving things like Portakabins.
It's very shiny.
Premier League have to tell them to stay put until next season now. Absolute joke of a situation

I largely agree. I could see a case of having their last home game to open the new place, but not more than that.
Spurs appear to be angling for a 'big' match to open it, and their remaining league matches after Arsenal are Palace, Brighton, Huddersfield, West Ham and Everton.

The first competitive game at the new stadium will be a big game whoever the opponents. At this stage, Spurs just want to be in there. Preferably a daytime game, because of the need for fans, police and stewards to familiarise themselves with the new access routes (away fans, for instance, will be at the opposite end of the stadium); preferably not a big derby or any game where there's potential for trouble; and, from Spurs' perspective, preferably a game that they have a good chance of winning - they don't want to get off to a losing start at the new place!

And preferably their first home game of next season as it would be farcical if they were allowed to switch stadiums at such a late stage of the current season.

So not when it is actually ready, but when Spurs deem it appropriate, same old.

I agree with all of that.

Instead of rushing it in order to save some face of sorts. They should just come out and say complications with such a technologically advanced stadium have forced the opening to be next season. This way contractors are not flogged to death and the piss taking will stop after a rush of articles knocking them.
Is it costing spurs a lot to be in this limbo, renting wembley and other costs?

Their last Derby attracted 29,000. It'll be okay.

Don’t believe for one single minute Daniel won’t be offsetting this delay and it’s subsequent costs in the contract.Is it costing spurs a lot to be in this limbo, renting wembley and other costs?

Yup, now they feel they should be able to pick and choose not only when, but who they play that suits them too .... Priceless.

More to do with the fact that the police / health and safety etc aren't likely to allow the first game to be a night game or a game against Arsenal. And although Spurs would obviously prefer the first game to be the most winnable possible, that preference is equally obviously subordinate to the desire to play the first competitive game there at the earliest opportunity.

A lot of the delays have been Daniel's fault so many contractors have walked of site because he keeps trying to be smart and a lot of the delay is for this reason

Only if the rags sustain their domestic form.After last night they even have a chance of making good on their advert about the only place in London to watch Champions League football...

I have little doubt that contract will be grey in some key areas and that bugger will be all over it.A lot of the delays have been Daniel's fault so many contractors have walked of site because he keeps trying to be smart and a lot of the delay is for this reason

Not true.
