Tottenham Hotspurs’ social media team took to Twitter this week to let fans see a couple of images of the famous new Golden Cockerel being hoisted into place at our new stadium.
Given most eyes were on last night’s Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven I hope this hadn’t been missed, as I almost did.

With work overrunning for various reasons, and those issues have been incredibly well covered by fans and debated, it’s another step towards returning to our new home and as you’d expect the announcement of that progress was warmly received by fans.

We still might not christen the pitch of the new stadium until the turn of 2019 and the New Year rolls around but it is a boost and it means the day ticks ever closer and it was installed on Tuesday evening and now takes pride of place at White Hart Lane once again.
This is a fantastic moment we Spurs fans should admire

Given the positive reaction, I don’t mind covering this one late even by my own usual standards and there were plenty more comments given the additional updates as the day rolled by.
