Tottenham opened their long-awaited new stadium with a test event on Sunday; BBC Sport's Simon Stone went along and found a club ready for a fresh start.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: BBC Sport takes a look inside

There was a 3-1 win for the Under-18s over Southampton on Sunday. Inter Milan will visit for a legends game next Saturday. Then Pochettino will be in the dug-out as Spurs take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on 3 April and Manchester City in the Champions League six days later. "We are in a very good place in the Premier League and while we have a massive challenge in the Champions League, with 62,000 here behind us, it will be fantastic to play in it. It is our dream to be in the semi-final. Why not?"

No front-row seat is more than eight metres from the touchline and the acoustics have been taken into account during construction to ensure the atmosphere is as good as it can be. It felt very much like the first day of the season, when optimism abounds and everyone is keen to get started.When the stadium's 115 turnstiles were put to use for the first time at 13:00 GMT, there were hundreds in the queues, eager to get their tickets scanned, wanting to get their first glimpse of their new home.With test events, the clue is in the title.

Can not help but feel sorry for the local residents nearby, wonder if local council would consider paying for sound proof windows for those living nearby.
