'I've heard': Kyle Walker shares why Tottenham are charging some teams to use the away dressing room
Today at 01:15 PM
Tottenham Hotspur are renowned for having one of the best stadia in the world which opened six years ago now.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is still considered the cream of the crop when it comes to the stadia in the Premier League.
However, the incredible achievement of building the 62,000 seater stadium has not been translated into on-field success.
Tottenham still find themselves in search of their first piece of silverware since their League Cup triumph back in 2008.
But it seems as if the stadium does still impress the side which has been top of the Premier League for years now, Manchester City.
Indeed, former Spurs right-back Kyle Walker has waxed lyrical about the Spurs stadium but has revealed something shocking about their facilities.
Why Tottenham charge some away teams to use dressing room
Spurs have won two of their three games in north London this season with their only defeat coming against their bitter rivals.
Although the facilities may be up to scratch, it is apparent the players are not quite there, at the moment, with Spurs slumped down in ninth.
But the facilities on offer for the visiting teams are clearly making the away sides feel very comfortable when visiting north London.

Speaking on his podcast, Walker admitted Tottenham have some luxurious soaps on offer which the club actually charge away sides for if they are stolen.
“The news Spurs one is incredible. You’d have that as your home team dressing room. You don’t even have to bring your shower gel to the showers, you can just use theirs. It’s fantastic,” he said.
“But I’ve heard if you do take the shower gel they do charge the away team.”
Spurs need to make Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a fortress
Tottenham are coming out of the latest international break having won as many games in the Premier League as they have lost.
And next up is a home game against West Ham United who have proven a tricky opposition for the Lilywhites in recent years.
But if Tottenham are to make it back into the Champions League then they are going to have to transform their home into a foretress.
Spurs have won only once on the road in the league this season which has their home form carrying the majority of their points total.
However, there may now be some questions asked whether their new stadium is making the visiting sides a little too comfortable.
