Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

[parklane1]

At the local team near me there's only one stand but sometimes a ball will land on it. The chairman has a big long 10 metre stick and he'll start banging on the underside of the roof till the ball falls back off.

He does this during the middle of the game with spectators sat in the stand, which would be all well and good, but he is also the teams manager!

I was born in Fulham many years ago and my old man used to take me to the Cottage when i was a kid. Because the terrace alongside the river was open and the ball kept getting kicked into the Thames Fulham used to employ a couple of guys with a row boat to retrieve the balls.

I loved the old Craven Cottage and the tea kiosk they had on the back of the riverside stand, remember when they put the electronic scoreboard on top, it was a proper football ground, great walk through the park from the tube station.

Yep i have always had a soft spot for Fulham since those days, my old man knew Tommy Trinder and we got in the pavilion on a couple of occasions. Great days and the reason i became a Spurs supporter was because i saw them playing there and fell in love. I also used to marvel at the way Haynes played the game ( what a player).

I thought we should have got him to replace Blachflower/White, age was not a concern back then.

Now you see it, now you don't.

Isn't the pitch going under South (Home) stand ?.


So technologically advanced we'll have the sun shining from the north-west

From the genius that is Weretheshelfside. It is a very addictive thread on that site. Find myself refreshing it almost hourly at work

I want the single tier to be bigger/taller, so it just dominates and the rest of the stadium (and visitors) just think 'f*ck me'

They will mate when it is full of screaming yids. Even more so when it is converted to all standing (it's coming).

Me too, so the stadium would be shaped something like a Chinese broth spoon... the little bowl dwarfed by a 3 mile long all-standing home fan single tier Kop of Noise, threatening clouds.

Exactly......... i want people to look at that single tier behemoth and the upper reaches just disappear into darkness with all kinds of ultras debauchery going on. A mystical heartbeat of the home support, when noise is required we fire up that engine.

Our single tier is actually overlooked by upper tiers on both sides. Pish.

Yeah, but the noise from that single tier will rise above and dwarf those tiers on either side.
(A bit like now, actually, but without the debauchery)

How much is the capacity going to be reduced by the demolition of the north east corner?
