Tottenham Hotspur were scheduled to move into their new stadium this year but that got delayed multiple times and then it was revealed that the Lilywhites would be playing at Wembley until the end of 2018.
The Spurs vs Man United match in January of 2019 was scheduled to be the match where Spurs finally moved to their new home.
But now Daniel Levy has revealed that the inauguration of the new stadium has been delayed once again and the Spurs vs Man United match will be played at Wembley.
“We are acutely conscious that we are asking fans to go to Wembley for far longer than any of us wanted to. However we are now seeing the progress that we needed to see,” he said.
“What I don’t want to do is set any firm dates until we have finally achieved a safety certificate. So many people tell me to look at other major schemes that run late and, whilst I know it happens often, we are still hugely frustrated.
“It is important, however, to recognise the sheer complexity of the scheme. It will be one of the first fully-integrated digital stadiums and will also be required to meet the latest and most stringent safety regulations.
“Once again I want to apologise to fans and to thank you for your ongoing support. We have a busy time ahead both on and off the pitch, particularly after last night’s amazing qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League.
“It would be incredible. Something special, Champions League games in the new stadium. We’ve got to try and create that atmosphere, everyone knows Anfield’s been fantastic for Liverpool,”
Spurs have been given permission to play at Wembley indefinitely but the big problem now is whether UEFA will give permission to change venues during the middle of the tournament.
UEFA have asked Spurs to submit their request before the end of February 2019.
