New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Reece]

At that price I'm actually tempted to try it for a game just to see what it's like. Can probably re-sell my ST seat for £50 so that it's effectively a £75 upgrade. Could be clever marketing: get some people in there relatively cheap and hope they like it enough to do it again.

Price seems a bit weird.. but thanks for sharing. £125's sold out though!

Bizarre as it may seem, this kind of thing is plausible. If the building hasn't been "closed in", then it can avoid having to register itself as "completed" for rating purposes. Don't even get me started on the weird land-ownership swaps that happen when housing associations need to to avoid paying VAT on development costs (HAs cannot register for VAT). You can google "golden brick" if you're bored.



That was equally plausible a few weeks ago, but the gap is so small now that I have my doubts you could fit a crane through it.







WTF are you on? Quaaludes? Some other kind of downers? You've just popped in here after the thread has been going for nearly ten years, reading none of the background, not even the last 5-6 pages, and started moaning and wittering on interminably and repetitively about stuff you know absolutely nothing about. Well, there are a few of us here who do. There are people with direct connections with the club, there are people in the construction industry and there are people like me with nearly 40 years' experience in development.

Your opinions are demonstrably inferior to other people's. I know that's a hard concept to get your head around in the 21c., but not all opinions are created equal.

But you have "my opinion" and that's supposedly as valid as my understanding of the development industry. Uh. No.

OK, let's start.

The exterior is not a high priority at present, because the main/sole priority is to do work that is on the critical path to obtain the health and safety and building control approvals needed to host football matches. The exterior envelope was closed in some weeks ago. They can finish the "veil" later.

You won't see most of the 3,000 workers because they are inside, which is where all of the key operations are to ensure that the stadium can open on time. There will be activity in the bowl shortly to lay the turf (which is now arriving, having been grown to readiness at the training centre) and to fit the remaining seats. But nearly everything else that needs doing is indoors, so of course you can't see the activity. The external/landscape works - podium, piazza, etc. - is only essential insofar as it provides safe access and egress. So they can finish that later, too.

I'm sure that, if arses needed to be kicked, Levy ensured that they were kicked a very long time ago. Multiple times. Bruised buttocks everywhere. This is Daniel Levy we are discussing, yes?

Read the thread before you start filling it with irrelevant and inaccurate whinges. There is a pile of information here - a complete, highly tendentious history of the NDP and every kind of fan reaction to it.

The important point is about the critical path. That's always the important point in development and construction. None of the stuff you are angsting about is anywhere near the critical path.

I was waiting for this.

Good to see Cornelius back again, been a while. . .

It is so obviously him.

Plenty of workers on the roof , wish they would finish off those glass panels . With the amount of interest in the stadium worldwide a weekly/monthly update from Mace would be good , seems ages since we had word from the site manager , think his name is Olly last one I remember was about the tiling.

Can the roof be seen from any cameras?

You have virtually repeated everything I said

If you go to http://new-stadium.tottenhamhotspur.com/interact/ , scroll down to the time lapse cameras , check out TL3 & TL5 , you can zoom in and see workers on the roof.

Livestream 3 showing they are watering the soil ready for the turfs.

This was discussed on ssc. Think they concluded the gaps won’t be filled...and that doesn’t mean it will be leaky either

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

It's not unusual for people Who don't understand something to be frightened or look for an explanation that suits their actual understanding.


People who are really panicking now about the stadium not being ready in 6 weeks are kinda like flat earthers who just can't understand the science involved in proving the world is a sphere.

If and when the first official test event datedAugust 27th doesn't go ahead, then worry

Levy won’t be happy with it being called WHL ?

Makes no difference at the moment. White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - no one is paying us any money yet so nothing is lost.

 

[hughy]

I'll probably call it White Hart Lane until the day I die to be honest.

They probably want a clean slate so the naming rights name will take hold. To start calling it White Hart Lane now means that name gets a grip long term. Which rightly it should.

The naming rights are all bollocks anyway.
We'll still sing songs about WHL.
It will be called Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Europe (for this season, might not need to worry next)
TV will call it X for the PL

It'll be a truly multi use multi name venue.

Yeh, and gooners said that about highbury, but they don't

 

[old spur]

Great news, there is anew camera behind the South stand. Looks impressive, although miles from completion.

Still have to plug it in or put a new lens on it?

Highbury and The Emirates are/were in two different locations (albeit close). NWHL is on the grounds of WHL.

I can't tell you how many times I have been to see Spurs at both stadiums, they are very very close. That aside, does ANYONE really think that our new stadium will be referred to as the Lane five years from now? In actual fact there will be a generation of supporters 10 years from now who will never of heard of WHL !!
