Can’t wait for the Arsenal fans to get hold of this shot? The laughs they are gonna have.

Ere ere. Does this tell you how many trophies you’ve won in the last 10
Years?? Wa ha ha ha ha.


Knobs.

But yes. It’s gonna happen.
Don’t you just hate it when you are right.

Me too. I just hope 'Audere est Facere' is similarly prominent.
Are they putting that in too?

Anyone know what all the slogans, or whatever you'd call them, are going to be? I think there's six in total.

nad1990 on ssc, some minor pieces of info: Guess who made a visit a couple days ago to see the box my firm purchased .

Only 3 of us went, I just made the list of people who could go check it out. It was very much go straight to our box and straight back out, didn't really get to see a lot of the stadium. Pictures were not allowed and my Senior boss made sure that was enforced. We will be getting "official" photos of our box by end of July, which we can share with the rest of company. However, I am sure we will be seeing loads like that beforehand.

Anyway onto the details. The specs for our box is immense! It felt more like a 5* Hotel Boardroom rather than a box you would expect at a football stadium (been to Wembley, Emirates and few stadiums abroad to compare too). Literally did say "wow" as soon as I walked in. Few things are not finished yet in our box, but that was more to do with us viewing everything as it is, in case we want any minor changes. Box was very similar to picture shared many months ago, just with a few more specific designs related to our company.

We had a very short walk through the South Stand and into the West Stand, so didn't get to see too much. Didn't really see the main areas of South stand, so can't comment on progress there. A lot of progress in the West Stand in the General Access area's. Much higher standard than you would expect, compared to other stadiums. I have no doubt that the internals would be finished by end of July, at the latest.

A lot of staff inside as well, you really can't judge the staff numbers by the Live Cams, there are so many hidden from view. Asked quite a few questions regarding finishing times etc. Pretty certain the stadium will be "ready" for August to allow the test events, seemed very keen to use the word "ready" than "finished". As mentioned by someone earlier (forgot username), there are a view tweaks that have been made, which have no been made public, which would be appreciated by fans. Was not told details, just that more news will filter out as stadium gets closer to being "ready".

We did have a sneaky meet with Mr Levy at Lilywhite House, who just smiled and laughed when I asked him if Bale was coming home

Wait until he sees the private dining areas... They are another level!!!

Having seen a lot of the designs, it's miles ahead of Club Wembley and their tatty boxes. This is the Ritz of stadiums. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the pleb section of the designs where us mere mortals will be sitting, although it looks like it might be sports bar theme throughout not just basic concrete finish.

Spent two hours going round stadium yesterday and can confirm what others have said - it's going to be unbelievable but there is still someway to go until the end of the project. Went round whole place from top of South to car parks beneath, from sky lounge to changing room areas and from Spurs shop to the ticket office. Could have spent so much more time taking it in.

Highlights - standing on where I thought centre spot would be and just looking round at the stands around - I think any Spurs player on the pitch would have to be inspired if we do our stuff and properly support, and hopefully opposition would be intimidated.

Also stood where my seat is going to be, not fitted yet, and tried to envisage the game view.

The stands are so close to the pitch.

I know we have all seen these trays for the pitch, but I was truly staggered by their size when standing next to them.

Can't wait for the first game. COYS

When they wheeled them out to test I was surprised how tall they were. Must be about 6ft in height?

Find it highly amusing that after just over 10 years NWHL is gonna be so much better than the emirates and there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it for another 100 years ?

Do you really think they'll stay there that long?
They are a nomadic tribe by tradition and instinct - I doubt they'll even be based in this country in 100 years.
