Just wondering if UEFA will give us time to have stadium ready or will they insist on a quick decision , Spurs said next update 7th Jan will UEFA be happy with that.?.
I assume we’ll update them on the 7th with the decision.

Be a nightmare if we aren’t in the new stadium for it.

We will play the first leg at home on either 12/13 or 19/20 February. The second leg is scheduled for either 5/6 or 12/13 March. Full details on dates and kick-off times will follow shortly.

We shall provide a further update on the venue for our home leg of this tie as soon as this is confirmed
. Ticket details will also follow in due course.

That’s a lot of confirmation in a short space of time...

Agreed a nightmare but pretty sure the ticket arrangements were advised quite soon after the group stage draw lets hope UEFA are happy to wait until January before any decision is made on where we play.

I specifically took photos of the corner flags yesterday and quite frankly they are tight at best and dangerous worst case. I’ll try and post them later.

But one thing for certain is there is no space for any run up. Not even for two paces.

Thought maybe the pitch lowers and it wasn’t in full position?

We’ll see but trust me when I say it’s strange and must worse than Old Trafford

I can see lots of players smashing into the hoardings behind the goal too next year...

I suppose this is stating the obvious, but if the objective is to get the fans as close to the pitch as possible, then it follows that the space between the touchline and the hoarding needs to be smaller than otherwise.

Club announcement "The first leg will be at home on Wednesday 13 February. We shall provide a further update on the venue for our home leg soon."

Just wonder how soon, before 7th Jan or does this give us hope that it will be in our proper home.

Isn’t it still bigger than the old Lane?

Would be amazing if you weren’t allowed to sit in the south stand if you’re not wearing white.

Supply white t shirts for everyone to wear if they don’t have the Spurs shirt.

Create that special atmosphere, make teams not want to come.

Surely it is the nature of the retractable pitch being at a higher level which is the main factor in the steep run off area? And that combined with keeping the stands close to the pitch means there is less room before it drops off.

Have to say from looking at the pictures that players sliding in on the touchline could be going for a ride. Presumably we have done it within guidelines but gone for the bare minimum.

Amazing if you want to live in a fascist state I guess.

Thing is few games really take place in t-shirt weather. You'd really have to give everyone a white tracksuit top/poncho/jacket or something.
