Opening of Tottenham Hotspur's New Stadium Could Be Delayed Until April Following New Safety Checks

Tottenham Hotspur could be set to play their home games in Wembley Stadium for a while longer, with the results of the latest checks potentially delaying the unveiling of their new stadium until April.

The Premier League club have suffered continuous complications as they look to make the switch from the now demolished White Hart Lane to their new home, with the opening date repeatedly pushed back throughout the course of the season.

According to the Evening Standard however, the club are awaiting the results of the latest tests regarding the ground's wiring and critical safety systems, and should the latest checks highlight further problems, more tests would be scheduled for late February, meaning the delay would likely halt the opening of the ground until April.
