We were promised, before last night’s Premier League fixture between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City that the Wembley Stadium turf would be have been repaired and playable ahead of the 8 pm kick-off. We were told a lie.
No one can blame the ground staff; they did what they could under the circumstances to repair the pitch from recent non-footballing events. And so who can you blame other than the Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and the other board members for failing to open their new ground in time.
Levy promised fans the earth; he promised a state of the art stadium but, in the end, Spurs, supporters were sold up the river.
