Spurs game switched from New Year’s Eve
The fixture had been scheduled for Sunday 31 December but the club – in a website announcement – said that despite significant work by all stakeholders, the Safety Advisory Group at Wembley Stadium could only recommend a maximum crowd of 43,000.
As explained in several CandH stories over recent weeks this was due to transport issues, primarily at local tube stations whose resources were being deployed elsewhere on New Year’s Eve.
The statement adds that “a decision has been taken to move the fixture into the New Year so more supporters, home and away, can attend the game.”
The club says ticket and allocation details will be confirmed in due course whilst apologising to fans for the delay in confirming details for this fixture.
