Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what is going to be on the new stadium seats? Presumably a cockerel/THFC?

Lovely idea.
Think they should have made it a bit more adventurous
as well as the obvious ones.
Plenty of suggestions on here.
One or two other quotes from Bill Nich. come to mind.
My favourite
"It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."

The NFL will want a totally clean stadium with nothing to detract from their own sponsorship and team identity. But I can do without much of that nonsense anyway.

In the days of old we had the cockerel on top and the club shield in the woodwork and that was it. That ground had more character and identity than any of the new stadia.

If Populous have not managed to design the return of the bronze cockerel in pride of place (and a mechanism to lower the beast), then they have blundered and really let everyone down.

Oh and those corporate slogans make me want to vomit. Doubly so if they are in latin.

The club motto has always been 'audere est facere' and it is unfortunate that we have been dumbing down by using the english version in recent years. I am very happy that the original latin will be enshrined in the new stadium.

I had hoped they would go for the Allianz Arena approach and gone for the multi colour changing lights
