“Barring no further significant issues we should then be in a position to schedule Test Events.”Spurs chairman Daniel Levy added: “We are acutely conscious that we are asking fans to go to Wembley for far longer than any of us wanted to.“However we are now seeing the progress that we needed to see.“What I don’t want to do is set any firm dates until we have finally achieved a safety certificate.“So many people tell me to look at other major schemes that run late and, whilst I know it happens often, we are still hugely frustrated.“Once again I want to apologise to fans and to thank you for your ongoing support.“We have a busy time ahead both on and off the pitch, particularly after last night’s amazing qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League – what a memorable night.”
