Amazes me the lengths Spurs fans go to to look on the negative side, looking for the dark cloud behind any silver lining.

Given all the messages coming out about the ABSOLUTE attention to detail, most of which we've seen for ourselves, the investment made, the expensive architects...

..Do people REALLY think that the pitch hasnt been thoroughly designed and thought through and their expert analysis from a few iphone pics has trumped it all? Really?

We as fans need to grow up, Poch is right. We need to start embracing our progress instead of being pessimistic and waiting for the 'inevitable' downturn.

It hasnt come yet, and we have no real reason to expect it, so how about we allow ourselves a little hope?

Uh, does an nfl team just play 8 home games a season? I don't get it. Couldn't care less about the nfl myself, but if it gets us cash, that's good.

Yes. They only play each team once. 16 teams in each conference. Then the best 12 teams reach the playoffs.

Not quite. You play each team in your own division of 4 twice - 3 home and 3 away.

Then you play 4 games against teams from another division in your conference, and 4 against teams from the other conference. This is on a rotation so that you play everyone at least once every 4 years. That's another 4 home and 4 away.

Lastly, you play 2 matches against teams in your own conference, from divisions you haven't already played against. This is meant to be a fairly even match up based on the previous year's results. One more home and one more away game.

So it's 8 in total and 1 or 2 more possible home games if your team makes the playoffs, depending on seeding. But I don't think we have to worry about the Raiders making the playoffs any time soon and especially not getting home advantage.

Weird! Why is that? You'd think they want to maximize profits by having way more matches (like the NHL).

Because it’s hard, it’s the last week of the regular season and half of the players are injured whilst the other half are running on fumes.

Many teams rotate in backup players as soon as play off spots are assured, even as early as games 12 and 13.

Omg yes I used to love the raiders as a kid just because of their logo ... oh and back then it was "gangster" which was quintessential for any street cred.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the logo!

My second thought was this would be good purely as they have no red in their branding!

If we can pull this off it’s almost half a million extra people paying to go to the stadium, happy to spend a load on food and drink inside - with some paying for premium corporate prices. If we made £50
per person that would be an extra 25m a season / 500k a week for wages. I have no idea what our cut of ticket sales and food and drink would be but conservatively guessing at 50% with a ticket averaging £50 and another £50 spent inside?

The money that can be made from the circa 340 days a year the stadium is empty is the real opportunity to get a competitive advantage on the clubs that have genuine higher revenues than is due to their stadium and commercial incomes.

The boxpark yesterday was a little taste of what I think the after match experience could be like, lots of food options with people mingling from all areas of the ground with a big screen watching Goons get humiliated. Add in a fast pour for 4 quid or a nice drop from Beavertown and I can see it being popular when there is a game on before or after ours.

The team have done brilliantly to ease the Wembley experience by at least giving us results and performances but days like yesterday make me long for ‘home’ even more.
 
I'm not a Raiders fan, but this is a unique opportunity to show what the stadium can do. Good for extra rental revenue and might even kick naming rights discussions into high gear as the broader perception of the eventual NFL London franchise becomes clearer.
