da pinnacle： Tottenham Hotspur are set to increase their stadium capacity, the club have confirmed.
What’s the word?
Spurs’ new stadium, built at a cost of £1bn, currently has a capacity of 62,062, making it the largest in London.
And they have now announced that they have received the green light to add 152 seats to the state-of-the-art arena.
That will take the new capacity to 62,214, with the seats to be situated in the North and South stands.

Not a player
One imagines that fans would have rather seen the club announcing a signing on Monday, instead of a barely noticeable capacity increase.
Of course, Spurs have spent huge money to ensure that their stadium is one of the best in the country, if not the very best.
But, really, with transfer deadline day looming – the club have until Thursday to complete their business – and only one first-team acquisition, Tanguy Ndombele, having been made, this feels like a bit of a joke.
Let’s not forget that just last week fans were passionately calling for the Lilywhites to show more support to Mauricio Pochettino after what they deem to be an underwhelming window.
The links with Real Betis’ Giovani Lo Celso and Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes continue apace, while Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon is said to be close to a move.
The club, though, are announcing the addition of 152 seats to their stadium.
The timing is less than ideal.
