Tottenham Hotspur new stadium: Premier League club confirms plans for opening ceremony before first game against Crystal Palace

An opening ceremony will take place on April 3 ahead of the first fixture at Tottenham’s new stadium against Crystal Palace, it has been confirmed.

Spurs were worried it would be difficult to hold such a ceremony before a midweek game with people rushing in after work, however, the powers that be have decided that the show must go on at their new 62,062-seater stadium.

The north London club said in a statement: “We can now confirm that the kick-off time for the opening Premier League fixture at our new stadium against Crystal Palace on Wednesday 3 April will be 7.45pm.

“Prior to our first match at our new home we shall hold the Opening Ceremony.

“We would ask supporters to please, therefore, make arrangements to arrive as early as possible. There will be much to see and enjoy throughout the new stadium and the Opening Ceremony will commence approximately 20-30 minutes ahead of kick-off. Further details on this will follow in due course.”

A test event will be held at the new stadium on Sunday for Spurs’ Under-18s match against Southampton in front of 30,000 spectators and then on March 30, a Spurs Legends XI will take on their Inter Milan counterparts in front of around 45,000 spectators.

The success of both test events will decide whether Tottenham receive the relevant safety certificates to fully open their ground.

It has also been confirmed that Spurs will play Brighton at their new ground on Tuesday, April 23, a game which also kicks off at 7:45pm.

Juventus hold ‘preliminary talks’ with Antonio Conte in case Massimilano Allegri leaves in the summer

Juventus have reportedly held talks with Antonio Conte in case they part company with Massimilano Allegri at the end of the season.

Conte has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea at the end of last season.

The 49-year-old has confirmed that he will return to football next season at a club with ‘a project that convinces me’.

He has been linked to Inter Milan, AC Milan and Roma in recent months.

Sky Sports News are reporting that Juve have held preliminary talks with Conte to ‘sound out his availability’.

2

Allegri is currently in charge of the Serie A giants and has led them to four successive league and cup doubles.

He has also seen his side beaten in two Champions League finals.

Following their quarter-final exit to Ajax on Tuesday, there has been speculation over his future.

Allegri has been linked with a move away in the past and was one of the favourites to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal last summer.

Conte knows Juventus well and won six Serie A titles and a Champions League as a player.

He spent three seasons as manager of the club and won three league trophies.

Conte was replaced by Allegri when the former became manager of Italy.

New Tottenham stadium has made a huge difference to the club, says Ledley King

Tottenham hero Ledley King believes the club have been lifted by their new stadium.

Spurs have settled into their new home with two victories in a week, including last night’s fantastic 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.

The £1billion arena has been ranked among the best football grounds in the world – and King believes it has inspired the Spurs players.

“Wembley is a fantastic stadium, but having played there for the last two years, there’s no doubt that playing at home makes a difference, especially on these big European nights,” the former defender told talkSPORT 2.

“The crowd were the twelfth man. What’s fantastic about the stadium is the compactness of it. You can really feel it. You feel close to the pitch in a similar way to White Hart Lane.

“It definitely makes a difference. The players can already feel the difference that this new stadium is making for them.

“It’s been built to accommodate the players, to feel at home in a similar way to White Hart Lane. And I think they have felt at home.

“When the fans are behind you at home, you can be a tough team to beat and we’re proving that at the moment.”

King, who was forced into an early retirement by chronic knee problems, remains a popular figure in north London and his name continues to ring around the new stadium.

“Since I’ve retired, I constantly keep hearing the song. When I was on the pitch, it just gave me a little boost,” he added.

“But when you’re walking around the stadium, or you’re sitting there and the crowd sing your name, it’s humbling.”

Premier League: The best promoted teams ever, including Wolves, Newcastle, and West Ham

Wolves have enjoyed a superb return to the Premier League.

The Wanderers have secured seventh place and should Watford fail to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final, they will be playing in the Europa League next season.

10

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men smashed their previous Premier League points record (40) with nine matches remaining – since 2001, no newly-promoted club has finished in a higher position than 8th.

And now, as the season edges towards it conclusion, many are suggesting the Molineux chief should be crowned manager of the year.

In light of Wolves’ stellar campaign, talkSPORT.com has taken a look at other teams who have endured similarly brilliant returns to the Premier League since it started in 1992.

---

Blackburn 1992/93

10

Total points: 71

Final position: 4th

Manager: Kevin Dalglish

Blackburn were promoted to the Premier League for its inaugural season and it proved to be a brilliant campaign for the blue and white outfit.

Owner Jack Walker splashed the cash in the summer, signing Alan Shearer for £3.5m, who went onto score 16 goals in 21 matches before his season was ended with a knee injury.

Newcastle 1993/94

10

Total points: 77

Manager: Kevin Keegan

Final position: 3rd

Newcastle enjoyed such a good return to the top-flight they were given the nickname ‘The Entertainers’ for their blistering football.

Kevin Keegan’s side were a major force in the early days of the Premier League, with Andy Cole prolifically leading the line to score 34 goals in 40 matches.

Nottingham Forest 1994/95

10

Total points: 77

Manager Frank Clark

Final position: 3rd

This season by Forest is still the joint-best ever season by a newly promoted club and it has been for 23 years.

Stan Collymore scored 22 goals as the Reds qualified for the UEFA Cup, he then moved to Liverpool the following summer and Forest haven’t discovered the same dizzy heights since.

Sunderland 1999/00

10

Total points: 58

Manager: Peter Reid

Final position: 7th

Kevin Phillips scored an astonishing 30 goals in his first season in the top-flight and claimed the European Golden Shoe as the Black Cats secured a seventh place finish in the Premier League.

Reid’s men were unfortunate to miss out on European football, with their goal difference not good enough to qualify for the UEFA cup.

Charlton 2000/01

10

Total points: 52

Manager: Alan Curbishley

Final position: 9th

Charlton were relegated in 1999/00 season and Curbishley managed to bring them straight back up to the top-flight.

He defied expectations by guiding them to ninth place and had there defence been more solid they could have qualified for Europe.

Ipswich 2000/01

10

Total points: 66

Manager: George Burley

Final position: 5th

The Tractor Boys were tipped for the drop after coming up through the play-off’s and they extraordinarily finished in fifth place.

However, the next season they were relegated after most of their squad was poached by the big boys.

Manchester City 2002/03

10

Total points: 51

Manager: Kevin Keegan

Final position: 9th

Keegan guided Man City back to the top tier in 2002 and they have remained there since.

The now super-rich club were then spearheaded by Nicolas Anelka, who was bought for the big money fee of £13million, and his 14 goals helped them to finish ninth.

West Ham 2005/06

10

Total points: 55

Manager: Alan Pardew

Final position: 9th

The Hammers scraped their way to the Premier League through the play-offs and many largely expected them to go straight back down.

However, at the end of October they were fourth and enjoying a superb season. They might have won an FA Cup too if it wasn’t for some heroics from Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard.

Reading – 2006/07

10

Total points: 55

Manager: Steve Coppell

Final position: 8th

Reading have had three seasons in the Premier League and in two of them they were relegated.

However, the Royals performed brilliantly with Steve Sidwell starring throughout to finish in eighth place – and they would have qualified for Europe had they not drawn their last match.
