«Breaking News» Tottenham reveal 4.5m ‘Golden Cockerel’ will sit on top of new stadium

Tottenham's new stadium may have been hit by delays but the club are doing their best to ensure that it will feel like home for supporters when it eventually does open.

A replica of the iconic golden cockerel that was in place at their old White Hart Lane stadium will also be present at their new 62,062-capacity ground, as reported by the club's official website.

The cockerel, constructed by London Mould Makers, is a scaled-up version of the original that first appeared at White Hart Lane in 1909 and stands at 4.5 metres tall.

Tottenham have been unable to move into the new stadium owing to continued delays

The 62,062 capacity stadium looks spectacular from the outside and should be worth the wait

Tottenham took a scan of the original structure, which they still own, to ensure that the new cockerel is as similar as possible.

The sculpture, which has been painted with a two-part golden finish, is now ready to be lifted onto the South Stand roof.

Arthur Steward of London Mould Makers, said: "The Cockerel has such a rich history, it tells its own story. It is an honour to preserve that history and pay homage to the original artists who created it.

“Many of our employees working on this project are Tottenham residents, so we are all well aware of the huge benefits this stadium regeneration scheme will bring to the local area.”

In another move to make the new ground - officially known as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - feel more homely, the club have ensured that bricks from the old East Stand have been re-purposed within The Shelf, one of three feature bars at the ground.

The stadium will be the second largest in the Premier League after Old Trafford

NFL games will also be staged at Tottenham's new ground when it eventually opens

Furthermore, the concrete floors on the concourses include crushed aggregate taken from White Hart Lane.

The stadium was initially scheduled to open at the start of this season but delays have meant that Tottenham have had to continue using Wembley for the majority of their home matches, while their Carabao Cup third round tie at home to Watford will be played at Milton Keynes Dons' Stadium MK.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
