New Stadium Details And Discussions

There's definitely going to be some people who watch the academy match, try out the in stadium bars for a couple of hours, then had to the Bricklayers or somewhere to watch the United game.

My point re the roof is. It must have been spotted, sure I spotted it pretty early on. Considering it’s something that could have been easily fixed I’m just surprised they didn’t. Of course in the grand scheme of things it’s pretty inconsequential.

Could have had a later KO and had the united match on the screens.

Spot on mate

Wonder why they've chosen to go on a ballot rather than loyalty points for the allocation? Sucks that a tourist with a membership to go once a year might get to go to the first event rather than a member who goes nearly every match.

"Priority for both events will be given to Season Ticket Holders and then One Hotspur +, followed by One Hotspur members."

Thing is you see, a toilet is oval shaped. New stadiums are also oval shaped. There's nothing anybody can do about the fact that they share the same shape.

Come back for tomorrow's lesson on why a rectangle might look like an elongated square, but why they're very, very different.

People been quite dismissive of this. But if it does become known as “the toilet bowl” as the emirates is the library it’s not exactly great PR for naming rights. Especially as there was a lot of talk the sponsor name would go in the roof. You’d have thought they’d have taken a little more care with the aerial view. Seems it could have been quite simple to change the shape with a few more glass panels.

Highbury was known as the library, it was nothing to do with the stadium they just don't make a noise.

I genuinely cannot believe that people are being particular about the shape of a stadium that you will only get to see from a blimp or on a plane flying over London.

Would you rather the outside look like the colosseum but the inside be shit? It's a stadium, everything about its design from roof shape to stand steepness and materials used have been thoroughly researched in the best interest of spectacle, not because some stupid wank stain Arsenal fans or jealous Stratford Ironworks fans are unable to give a few online digs about how it looks if you've got a camcorder attached to a drone.

Stop picking holes in things there really are more things you should worry about in the World

But what about the virgins on twitter?
They'll probably all use that crying emoji as well.
We should knock it down and start again imo.

Shit I forgot all about the virgin trolls. You're right we should have been more thorough with our planning and took into account the view of the stadium that nobody will ever see with their naked eye into consideration when thinking about the well being of our football club.

Fuck the training facilities and the fact it lets a further 26,000 experience match days at their beloved club and that we'll now be home to the 2nd largest club stadium in England. In fact, lets sell Harry Kane so we can reinvest that money on adding a few abstract shaped pieces of metal so that it overlaps the roofs Birdseye exterior so we can rid ourselves of long term humiliation from the virgin trolls!

Anything but the virgin trolls!

If someone says it looks like a toilet seat. Just retort.

“Yeah. Well your team are going to be shitting it when you come here. So there. Brah!”

Or something.

Over on SSC, a planning application for decorative lighting has been unearthed, the whole thing can be viewed here: http://www.planningservices.haringey.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=343673

However, the most interesting thing to take away from it is on page 72. This is an application for a spotlight for a 'skywalk sculpture'. Many are speculating that the sculpture is a new cockerel, and somebody ITK from SSC has confirmed that it is going to be a cockerel.

Having a golden cockerel above the south stand will really complete the stadium, imo. I imagine it'll be the final thing to go onto the stadium.

Would explain no topping out ceremony yet as we haven't reached it's highest point.

Bit of a shame it does look like a toilet seat from overhead view though lol.

Gonna have to listen to annoying fans from other teams taking the piss (no pun intended) outta that.

I've taken a leaf out of Poch's book and am not worrying about what everyone else is doing, thinking or saying.

If fans are that concerned we should just take ownership of it instead. If we can't come up with an alternate Spurs chant for "Mirror in the bathroom" by the beat or "Armitage Shanks" by Green Day to drown them out with frankly we have less imagination than they do TBH.

Ooooh "Somewhere beyond the seat" Bobby Darin
Somewhere beyond the seat
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands in golden stands
And watches the Spurs that go Marrrching

Somewhere beyond the seat
She's there watching for me
And if I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go Marrrching

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My Spurs will lead me there soon

(etc you get the idea piece of piss, get those 1882 people lubed up earn their seats lol)

Take ownership!

How do you get the stadium full midweek against lesser profile teams in early cup rounds (with all respect to them) when by their own admission not all ST holders/members will go to every match, better have demand for tourists wanting to come back than go down the road, how do you turn a tourist into a fan?

Would you rather see 20k empty seats mid game or a full crowd? Now I'll anticipate your answer based on some of your other posts and say imagine you're DL with a stadium to pay off, do you want 20k empty seats or full crowd?

Personally in such circumstances, I'd pitch the prices to pull in tourists say between 5-10k seats the other seats cheaper to drag in the next generation of fan (they need to come from somewhere in post apocalyptic Britain)

Or they'll put the game on big screens in the stadium areas (I'd guess excusing the fact they'll need to clear up post-match that there will be some Sky/BT rule that means the game can't be watched on the huge screens in the bowl ICBW)
Maybe the stands stay open and 17k + people can sit watching a later game.'

Stamford Bridge's proposed new shape is my personal favorite to have a poo on. The elongated shape is much more comfortable.

So it might look like a toilet seat. Really, who gives a shit?

Too late, I've already got my coat, and I'm off down the pub!

I have it on the very best authority that other club's fans will call it "fucking incredible"

Wembley looks like a vagina but no one calls it that.

Every bowl type stadium looks like a toilet seat.

Ignore it as it doesn’t matter

This ^^

This whole toilet seat thing will soon disappear. Wait till their fans actually come to games there, I think they will begrudgingly admit it is a fucking amazing stadium and they are jealous as fuck.

You may want to google “vagina” because I don’t think they look like you think they look.
