Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium "continues apace with building work starting on the top tier terracing." The club updated its fans on the progress of the new White Hart Lane project on Twitter. The "stadium's steel upper now extends into the west stand and the first terracing units have been installed in the new north upper tier." Despite building work progressing, the club's plans for where it will play home games next season are "still unclear." The club's "overall vision" has been to move out of White Hart Lane in May, play home matches at Wembley and then move into its £800M ($1B), 61,000-seat stadium for the '18-19 season. This remains the "overriding intention" (London DAILY MAIL, 4/12).
National League South club
Truro City "will
share the Stadium for Cornwall" with Championship rugby club
Cornish Pirates. Work on the 6,000-capacity ground, on the outskirts of Truro, is "expected to start this summer." Truro wanted to build its own stadium at Silver Bow, but developers branded it "no longer financially viable." Truro will joint-fund the £10M ($12.5M) ground with the Pirates and Truro & Penwith College. The stadium's capacity is "expected to eventually be increased to 10,000" (
BBC, 4/11).
