Sky Sports pundit spots a flaw in the new Tottenham stadium

Tottenham Hotspur hosted their first ever Premier League game at the new stadium last Wednesday night, as they welcomed Crystal Palace.

Spurs won the fixture 2-0 with goals from Son and Eriksen to get them off to a winning start at the historic ground.

The club will now host their first ever Champions League game under the lights against Manchester City on Tuesday night, as both teams fight it out to book a place in the semi finals.

Fans have been blown away by the new stadium, from the white wall South Stand, to the iconic golden cockerel, to the endless lines of bars and eateries, as well as the incredible atmosphere.

However, one party pooper at Sky Sports believes he has spotted a potentially fatal flaw in the new stadium.

Charlie Nicholas says that despite the ground being fantastic, it cost the club too much money, putting them under pressure to pay for it and retain Champions League football.

He said (Sky as quoted by HITC): “It’s still too much money. It’s a fortune. I congratulate them on what they’ve built, it looks fantastic. They’ve still got to fill it though.

“I think they had to borrow £100 million to cover the loans. The overheads are £500+ million and staying in the Champions League is important.”
