SPURS STADIUM GRAND OPENING UNLIKELY TO BE BROADCAST LIVE

SKY and BT seem unwilling to gamble on Tottenham being in their new stadium before 2019. The ground is expected to be open for the visit of Burnley on December 15. But with the latest batch of TV fixtures released yesterday, neither of the Premier League rights holders snapped up that game. Spurs’ only televised home match in this set of fixtures is against Manchester United on January 13. Meanwhile, Sky have billed Sunday, December 2 as ‘Derby Day’ with Chelsea v Fulham, Arsenal v Spurs and Liverpool v Everton all on TV. Fri Nov 30: Cardiff v Wolves (8pm, Sky).
