Twenty-two months after they said goodbye to White Hart Lane, Spurs finally opened the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and held the perfect housewarming party, with a nod to the farewell observance they paid to their former ground. Spurs fans were plied with flags and asked to get to their seats early ahead of the 15-minute performance and it produced a stunning visual effect. Adele was touted as a possible performer if the stadium had opened in September, but the Tottenham-born Oscar winner was not available. Instead Spurs fans were treated to X-Factor contestant Lanya Matthews, who fronted a performance of 'Everybody Dreams' by Gladesmore Community School. Despite the excitement surrounding the historic and eagerly-awaited evening, the opening ceremony was mocked by rival supporters.
