Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

rxl said:
We are a funny old bunch - 20 pages after announcing a world class stadium that virtually doubles our current capacity (which we have had trouble selling out on Europa nights) and we're moaning that we can't expand!!

Enjoy the now, always waiting for tomorrow is dangerous as it doesn't always come...

Some fans are not happy unless they can find something to bitch about. :)

I've been going to football for over 60 years and can assure people that standing in a large crowd when they avalanche downwards is terrifying and extremely dangerous. I'm sure stadiums are better designed and have higher safety standards nowadays, but now with relaxed drinking laws macarons can now drink themselves senseless or to a level where they behave recklessly before attending games and I can only see more disasters. It's a pity but the minority always spoil it for the majority of sane people out there.

We are about the same age and I agree with all that, I remember the fences as well and as soon as they came down ( after the tragedy at Sheffield) the brain dead macarons ( who make up large numbers of the crowds) could no wait to get on the pitches again. There are fans who attend football who will never be anything more then macarons.
 
Love how the London evening standard seem to think we are using money made from selling a primary school site to boost our transfer kitty :\

Hmm. Next they'll be renaming White Hart Lane the street in preparation of Naming Rights Stadium. Remove all tracks.

You jest (I think) but that is precisely what is proposed.

At some time in the near future (certainly before the new stadium is ready for use), the easternmost end of White Hart Lane - between the railway line and the High Road, at least - will be renamed.

Yep thats what i heard........wonder when they'll move on to the fans with banning orders for songs that reference 'the lane' or coversely free 3rd kits for supporters that include the new sponsors name in new songs
 
Easy to get hung up on it.. If somebody wants to come and pay 1000mil to call us Wonga Lane who cares. Entirely up to us to keep singing the same songs and making the name of and stadium and stand pointless....
 
SSN wheeling out the anti stadium residents today, laughable what the clowns were saying, they really do fudging hate us, how dare we want a bigger stadium than their favs

Who but the desperate or insane would want to live near a football stadium, but I wouldn't mind one of those houses with the garden backing on to Lords!

I used to live ½ mile from a football ground, and it wasn't the worst thing. You just knew not to try and move your car 16 days a year between 1 and 6.

But you can have no right to complain about living next to something that has been there for c.120 years

Unless you are the 6th generation living in the same house, it’s a conscious decision you made to live there

Totally agree, lived about the same distance from the New Den, which coloured my view.
 
The stadium proposals will be discussed at a Pre-Application briefing of Haringey Council's Planning Sub Committee on 23 July. The briefing report is on Haringey's website here: http://www.minutes.haringey.gov.uk/...teereportFINALFINALversionwithimages.docx.pdf. In the main this is a recap of what's been approved and built so far, a description of the new scheme and an identification of the main issues that the council would need to consider when a new planning application is submitted.
 
My gf's mum & dad used to run the Bottle & Basket in Chalgrove Rd. Perfectly hideous, what's been done to that place more recently, but anyway, I know she wouldn't want to live right on top of the stadium again.
 
Q: It's key that the desire for safe standing is stressed in the single tier stand, so that we can easily respond to any potential change in legislation. As seen in Dortmund's stadium, this would truly add an ever greater USP to the current stadium plans.
A: The single South tier has been designed with safe standing in mind, with the ability to introduce rail seating in the tier should legislation change.
