When you click on that photo and zoom in you can really see in internally. Looks like lots of work being done or still to do everywhere on that side.
Yes but not by much but it will involve doing what Man City did and extending the seats downwards but it will mean removing the removable pitch
Based on what?Pretty certain that’s not possible.
It’s not possible by the fact to bring it down would also mean bringing it in towards the pitch leaving no space to have a correct size pitch.Based on what?
It is possible to add 2-3 rows, the space will be smaller but NFL would off the table

This was a invitation for the east stand corporate I believe.This might have been mentioned before but how does he have access to the stadium during the ongoing build?
There is currently an 8 meter gap on all sides between pitch and stands except the south stand, its possible to go down and still have an adequate gapIt’s not possible by the fact to bring it down would also mean bringing it in towards the pitch leaving no space to have a correct size pitch.
For all we know the stadium has been good to go for 6 months, but some of the terabytes of mandatory EU installation documentation for the fire systems was incomplete/invalid.It's so wonderfully Spursy for Brexit to fuck up our stadium/season/life.
What are you doing with the south side then that only has a 3 meter gap?There is currently an 8 meter gap on all sides between pitch and stands except the south stand, its possible to go down and still have an adequate gap
The south stand has a variable rake, its possible to change that for the last few rows which aren't concrete to compensate for thisWhat are you doing with the south side then that only has a 3 meter gap?
Sorry mate but it’s probably the silliest idea I’ve seen.
Okay mate but the fact of the matter is it won’t ever be done and the capacity won’t be increased unless we change our safe standing from 1:1 to 1:1.5The south stand has a variable rake, its possible to change that for the last few rows which aren't concrete to compensate for this
BTW im a Design Engineer. Its possible whether we do it, is up to us
I can't be asked to show my post history but I was also on SSC before west ham did their renovation and correctly explained why the project was a £200m min refit and what system they would use(before they ran out of money) and why they couldn't build downwards in that stadium or even demolish the bottom tier, which I have previously explained on here in the west ham thread
Club know full well it's not going to be this season yet they are happy to hold onto our money. It's an utter disgrace.

Whatever else may be wrong and irresponsible with such silly repetition of absolute codswallop, it also triggers all the nervous nellies, "Indignant from Tunbridge Wells", Daily Hate-Mailers, and other members of the green-ink brigade into activity (see below) which, I suspect, may even be the real motive behind it all anyway:
As far as I could glean from talking to building control people, the issue now is that the contractor and club have decided not to pursue the original certification path that had formed the basis of the original schedule for completion of Phase Two. Because of the time taken to check and re-certify both the integrated safety control system and its underlying electrical network all parties have now decided in the interests of speed and economy to incorporate the safety certification into the sign-off certification process, and at the moment this is being negotiated. Using this approach both Haringey and the club require the principal contractor basically to produce all the certification for each outstanding installation in one package (big implications for liability there which both Mace and the club had shied away from in their original roll-out strategy). This needs to be done in a manner and over a period in which the test events and other items of scrutiny for which Haringey building control are responsible can be undertaken as part of the sign-off process (the "Phase Two" sign-off now being a major part of the occupancy permit, which it wasn't before). The implications of this new delivery strategy are obvious, I would have thought, and explain very much the tone and content of the club's recent updates.
If I really wanted to adopt flashspur's discombobulated jitters and indignant angst-venting when thinking about how and when this construction project will pan out, I would probably concentrate less on what so far has been quite a usual complication that exists in delivery of big builds, and instead think ahead with no small amount of nervy dread to what happens in just a few weeks time with regard to NDP's viability in the face of Britain crashing out of EU customs agreements, labour mobility agreements, and all the other international trade facilities provided through EU membership and which this construction has utilised to the full - a construction that is now about to enter a final building phase on which the whole economic viability of the project was ultimately dependent.
No software or panels were harmed in the making of this stadium ... just the feelings of some rather entitled and ill-informed opinion-junkies.

Erm, didnt West ham extend and exceeded 62,000 recently?Why are people talking about extending it? Tottenham has a long way to go before it can have more than 62K fans travelling there. We've been at 36k for many years now and we're building the biggest club stadium in London. 62K is plenty and will be for many years to come. It's more than Liverpool have ever had and they're one of the biggest clubs in England. The Emirates has been 60K or 15 years now. We shouldn't be thinking about that already.
