Spurs sweat over White Hart wait

LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur has apologized to fans over the "unavoidable" delay to the opening of their new White Hart Lane stadium.

The Premier League club has been forced to postpone the scheduled opening of the rebuilt area next month due to safety issues.

Tottenham spent last season playing its home matches at Wembley while White Hart Lane was completely knocked down, with the new arena rising in its place.
