New Stadium Details And Discussions

[EastLondonYid]

There's some positive news at last. It would be great to open with the Chelsea game. Would be an amazing stadium opening fixture.

No thanks


Our first game in our new stadium must not be against a big rival like the chavs for so many reasons

Would the police, club and prem want a massive showpiece with a high risk of crowd disorder,? This game must have a carnival feel not hostile

Plus do we really want to risk losing to those ***** in our stadium opening?

 

[carmeldevil]

We gonna keep feeling sorry for ourselves and let 1 transfer window dictate our entire club philosophy then, I see

Or think losing a game at the new stadium as catastrophic.

Yeah how would we ever recover from such disastrous turn of events

 

[worcestersauce]

This would be a good start when we eventually get an NFL game! Navy Seals parachute jump into NFL Stadium

Big wow! Her Majesty the Queen did at London 2012

Surely it would be worse losing to someone we should be beating. We can lose regardless of the opponent. We have a much better chance winning though. I just hope it's not an early 12:30 game because those can be tough.

Its not just about winning or losing and i get your points
Its about not losing to Chelsea, arsenal or West ham on our unveiling
Its not worth thinking about

Reports that the FA have agreed the saale of Wembley to Shahid Khan. Can only be monumentally bad news for us if that goes through. He makes Wembley the home for Jacksonville Jaguars = no NFL franchise for us = we spent a phenomenal amount of time and money for a measly 2 games a year and then a possible white elephant after that deal expires.

Hard to believe levy hasn't got concrete deal in place or got huge amount of money to build the stadium to accommodate NFL,

They put in £10M

We have the 2 games a year deal but I don't see how anything else can be in place.

Hardly a white elephant.

Hardly a white elephant.

Well one half of the ground would be! And the retractable pitch, and the delays and enormous expense. Let's be honest, the entire NFL thing is based on the eventual London franchise having WHL as the home ground. It wasn't to host 2 games a year and then for the franchise to be at Wembley.

just get in the fkin thing, who gives a fck who we play against- we could do cfc then lose to the goons and eels or the other way round. How scared do you wanna be?

I think we would beat them. 3-4 seasons back they had our number. Hated the pre-game build up and hearing how we hadn't beaten chelsea in 30yrs etc. After that 5-3 game we have played better against that lot..even where we have lost it was never a poor showing on our part.

But yeah i can see it from your vantage point. Then the Burnley game would be perfect for that carnival atmosphere... Actually you right it makes perfect sense not having that lot. Those going would not want a tense atmosphere.

What do u mean one half of the ground? And what delays are down to the NFL parts of the stadium?

Yeah I doubt they want it but I certainly wouldn't mind. Give me a hostile, noisy atmosphere over some happy-clappy shit any day of the week. And losing our first home game would be a downer no matter the opposition, let's not pretend we ain't just as capable of losing at home to Burnley.

If I wanted to jinx anything I would now point out that it's 44 years since we lost at home to Burnley in the league.

Just look at it through Danny's eyes for a moment. If he thought that the FA selling Wembley at below market value was going to torpedo the financial viability of our new stadium, our lawyers would have been set loose to challenge the deal on the basis of the amount of state aid that went into the original Wembley project. It would be like the battle of Stratford all over again!

Spurs' new stadium 'will be greatest ever built' says chief engineer

Tottenham's new stadium will be "the greatest that's ever been built", says one of the chief engineers working on the delayed project.
The delayed new 62,000-seat arena was due to open on 15 September.

It means Spurs play Watford in Milton Keynes on Wednesday because their usual temporary home - Wembley Stadium - is not ready after last weekend's Anthony Joshua fight.

"We've tried to do something in double time," engineer Nick Cooper said.

"If you look at any other project of this nature you wouldn't have achieved as much as we've achieved with the stadium.
"Be patient with us, we understand the frustrations."

Contractor Mace has claimed faulty wiring is behind the delay, while Spurs have not given a new completion date. Manager Mauricio Pochettino said he is "confident" it will be ready this year.

"It's been radio silence from the club," says Pete Haine, secretary of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust in reference to the lack of an official date for the first game.

"I can understand their point of view. I can understand the fact they don't want to commit to another date and then fail to meet it.
"As fans we'd like to know, we'd like some certainty. If it's going to be next year then fine. Tell us. We can plan for that."

The situation has been compounded for season ticket holders due to incompatible ticketing systems between the new stadium and Wembley - requiring fans to claim a refund from the club for games that have moved and then having to buy a new ticket for the game at Wembley.

Last month the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said that he hoped to announce an opening date as soon as possible.
"We are all focused on ensuring contractors deliver our new stadium in the shortest possible period of time and opening our stadium at the earliest opportunity," Levy said.

"We are now being regularly updated on progress and as soon as we have confidence in our project managers' and contractors' ability to deliver against the revised schedule of works, we shall be able to issue dates for test events and the official opening game."

Cooper said the pitch will be laid next week, indicating that the stadium could be nearly ready.

Built in virtually every corner of the UK - how Tottenham's ground is coming together

• The stadium will feature the world's first dividing, retractable grass pitch built by a Leicester-based firm. Underneath will be an artificial NFL surface - all part of Spurs' grand plan to provide a world-class venue for both sports.
• The Sky Walk, a unique visitor attraction which will allow people to climb the exterior of the stadium up to 40 metres high, has been manufactured by a Midlands-based construction company.
• Six 70-metre trusses capable of extending across the pitch will suspend 950 powerful lights to help grow the grass. The trusses then all fold away, collapsing under the subterranean NFL pitch.
• The three pitch trays which form the retractable grass pitch were manufactured across Yorkshire by a Sheffield engineering specialist firm.
• The stadium steel works were made by a Lancashire-based company who also worked on the Olympic Stadium.
• The concrete panels featuring the club crest, positioned at the north entrance of the stadium, were cast in S****horpe.
• Spurs claim the local economy will be boosted by £293m each year and 3,500 jobs created across the entire stadium scheme to handle an expected two million visitors per year.
• 258 affordable homes have been built nearby and money has been ploughed into a partnership with nine independent schools to create the London Academy of Excellence, which is connected to the building that houses the club's new offices.

A positive article for a change, surely this wasn't meant to be released!

Wonder what our fans will moan about now? ?
