Spurs\u00a0have announced further\u00a0delays\u00a0to their late-running \u00a31bn stadium.<\/p>\n

It now appears the stadium is unlikely to open before April, more than six months later than the first game was due to be played under the original build programme.<\/p>\n

Today the club confirmed that the north London derby with Arsenal on 2 March will now be played at Wembley.<\/p>\n

The club said remedial works on the safety systems in the new stadium were near completion, but would not give a new opening date.<\/p>\n

Once remedial works have been completed, contractors will move to final stages of testing the fire detection and alarm system and its integration with the other safety systems.<\/p>\n

“The success of this testing is critical to our ability to obtain a safety certificate and open the stadium,” said the club.<\/p>\n

In a statement chairman Daniel Levy said: “Once again, thank you all for bearing with us and for the great support we have received from so many different quarters. These next few weeks are pivotal.<\/p>\n

“We shall provide a further update in due course.”<\/p>\n
