I thought the external facade was complete ages ago.

Seeing that makes me even more sure it won’t be ready until next season. I know they can open the stadium with bits unfinished but if they haven’t even done basics like that then there must be so many vital things left.

It was intended to open it without the 'veil' on at all and it's hardly a basic. Originally, it was to have been fitted this summer, as was the block paving, abseiling point, etc.. It's in no way integral to the structure of the stadium and only minorly related to its function in terms of regulating temperature etc. This is the one and only bit that I can actually claim 'ITK' about, as a member of my family won the heating/cooling contract for the stadium.

TfL money.

Citizen Khan would rather leak cash into the Taxpayers arena money pit
than see this get done quickly. I assume the Northumberland Park work
is similarly slow (nothing of note when I stopped there on the train last
October) .

For anyone that's still interested, Chris Cowlin is still producing his stadium updates.

I think we can all appreciate the time and effort Chris goes to, to produce these videos. Without him, we wouldn't really know how far the stadium is getting towards completion - visually. In fact, we get a darn sight more information from him than the club which is disappointing.

I just think we're all a bit fed up with no news at all and last night's Wembley attendance was telling.

I fear it's going to be next season now with nothing being announced. The club are just too worried about telling us.

Once the opening was postponed, and the info came out that :

- new WHL was intended to be opened without the facade completed
- the issues were INTERNAL infrastructure

I stopped my tri weekly patrol around the site (as nothing I could
physically see would indicate when new WHL would open) .

Scuttlebutt on Skyscraper City suggests the Brighton game on 6th April will be the first game

It would be quite appropriate, for various reasons.
We were the first opponents at Brighton's new stadium and there would be two Spurs managers in the dugouts, for example.

The spaceship comparison gets another run out in the comments about the first image from photographer, Neil Perry. It's not wrong...

That's an amazing picture. It makes it look like it's from another time.
