New Tottenham stadium: Fans encouraged to arrive early for pre-match entertainment

Tottenham have encouraged fans to arrive at the new stadium as early as possible this evening.

The stadium will open at 4.45pm, three hours before kick-off with the Tottenham Hotspur Marching Band set to perform a 45-minute medley of Spurs classics pitch-side from 5.30pm.

There will be live music at The Shelf, Dispensary, and White Hart bars, as well as in the north-west concourse on Level 1.

An opening ceremony, expected to include a nod to the 2011 London riots, will begin 30 minutes before kick-off. Banners will be displayed on the High Road and inside the ground fans will be given flags, as they were in the final game at White Hart Lane

Souvenir programmes will be on sale for £10.

For the game against Crystal Palace, Spurs players will wear a commemorative home shirt, inscribed with details of the fixture and Robbie Keane will be interviewed on the pitch at half-time.
