The home side have been clearing snow off their artificial pitch in the last few minutes.

And conditions are so icy that Spurs issued a statement advising fans not to use the pavements.

The club’s official Twitter account said: “Due to icy weather, please use public transport when travelling from Tromso centre to the Alfheim Stadium. Pavements are like an ice rink!”
