The Guardian has been unable to solve the mystery, despite an in-depth investigation that has taken it to the heart of London’s cheese society. The sharp aroma of this, with its fruity, sweaty nuance, will endure for some time.

Levy was clearly thinking ahead when he decided to add a cheese factory to the new stadium. It's such an incredibly simple yet effective idea it, surprises me that no chairman before him came up with it.

Cheese is (or at least should be) a staple part of everyone's diet. Just picture all the cheesy goodness that you can create from a single block of the stuff - pizza, mac n cheese, toasted cheese, baked potato n cheese, cheese n cheese etc. The list is practically endless.

Let's have it right, Daniel Levy is a revolutionary.

"Club say there were no plans for cheese room in the first place"

Yeah right
"I never fancied her anyway" Levy says to reporters outside the in-progress Spurs Children's Tyre Fire Fun Time Funhouse, as he wipes cracker crumbs from his chin and Stinking Bishop from the top of his bald head.

I actually thought the cheese room was a joke to wind up @GlastonSpur

I can't believe they had a cheese room down as a talking point about their new stadium, what has football become? Dwarfs the prawn cocktail sandwiches we found ourselves facing.
I believe it was just a silly corporate joke. There is a famous book about dealing with and coping with change called 'Who moved my cheese?' For those who care you can find the wiki entry...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese?

Iirc its about two mice and how they both react differently when they get home and find their cheese gone. I remember one company gifting all their employees a copy when they had changed all their contracts en masse to much worse ones. Classy.

I read the book as a kid. It's mostly hot air

The opening game should be in August.....what is the fecking problem with that :confused::confused::confused:

Should the opening game be a CL home quarter-final then that would be totally risky and ridiculous.

Why would it be risky?

Water not coming properly in the restroom, because no one tried putting all restrooms to use in full capacity before :D :D

I am just kidding of course, but one of the things a new place sometimes has a problem is running everything at full capacity has never been done during the dry runs. It is an issue that typically is never thought of in any major construction like shopping malls and stuff.

Wouldn't consider it game risky though.

At this point I'd honestly just save the opening for the summer/next season now.

The whole thing is getting me depressed, and I didn't even care about it to begin with. This has felt like a journey that will never end.

It's too late now, f*** it, f*** everything. They should just give up. Don't open it at all. Close the whole club down. Declare everything "bottled". Give it away to charity.

Ugh.

And I don't even care about Spurs at all...

Just make Spurs play behind closed doors in the new stadium until they get their house in order. Will move real quick then.

If people are annoyed by the stadium situation they should complain about the FA and not Spurs. Every team would do what Spurs are doing and try to get permission to play when the stadium is ready, and it's up to the FA to say yes or no.

In addition, I don't believe this is actually having a negative effect on any other club except Spurs so I fail to see why people are getting so worked up over this.

Walked past it yesterday.
Its really nice but it looks REALLY out of place.
A bit weird having it on a main road.
Could be wrong but i swear most stadiums arent on busy main high roads.

The FA might be to blame for the majority of the world's ills but it hardly seems fair to blame them for Levy's Tower of Babybel.

I'm not saying the FA is to blame for the stadium being delayed, but they are the ones who are allowing Spurs to continually delay while we wait for it to be finished instead of saying that enough is enough, you are playing at Wembley this season. If United or any other club were building a new stadium and it was delayed, don't you think they would want to do what is in the best interest of the club and play there when it's finished?

I don't really see this as a problem other clubs have to deal with anyway, but maybe I am mistaken and it somehow negatively affect other clubs. The only losers in this delay is Spurs.

To play in a new stadium is something special, everyone will be more nervous and there is probably also more pressure.......then the opening game would be a CL quarter-final (For Tottenham that is still something more special than for Real Madrid, Barca or Bayern Munich) and i believe for the Tottenham players it wouldn't feel like a home game (Of course Wembley doesn't feel like a real home stadium either but at least players/coaches/fans know the stadium now since 1 1/2 years).

To open the stadium in March against fecking Fulham or Crystal Palace or Newcastle is in my opinion a major difference as it would be against Real Madrid or Barca or Munich in a CL quarter-final......if Tottenham would struggle for results or/and performances at Wembley then i could understand a stadium change during the season

BUT Tottenham have done so well at Wembley and there is still everything possible in the PL/CL therefore i wouldn't risk that before August.

No one will laugh about Tottenham if they don't win the PL this season and are going out in the CL quarter-final if they are staying at Wembley for the rest of the season......but everyone will laugh about Tottenham if they are playing in the stadium in March and then they are struggling for results.

And to open the stadium in August with sunshine is anyway better than in March with awful rain ;)
