New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Wine Gum]

It really is a big ol beast of a stadium!!

..... and when the areas to the West of the High Road and East of the stadium are redeveloped as well, Tottenham will look a whole lot different.

Careful - drunkenly declare you're going to buy the place and fire everyone and, instead of the owner calling the police, you'll have the Daily Mail banging on your door for an interview about your proposed takeover.

One thing I've noticed about the 'Kop' is how the advertising hoardings at the first tier level do appear to creep in a bit more than I was expecting. Makes the 'Kop' single tier feature narrower than seemed to be the case on the previous designs

Well, if I remember correctly, the Kop end is at the wider end of the egg shaped stadium. I would guess that it is to enable a better accoustic projection of the singing etc from the Kop. That being the case I am sure that the hoardings would not be placed so as to restrict the sound from the Spurs fans but, hopefully will be placed so as to restrict the noise from the opponents fans!

I think the bit that looks like an extension of the advertising hoardings into the kop is actually the accessible seating area for disabled fans.

Couple of pics and an update from danb82 on SSC. Kudos to him:

I was up at Lilywhite House yesterday, had a short course to go to, was my first visit so I was looking forward to heading up the ramp and looking out.

I got a walk around the area too just to see what was going on with the new entrances and exits since Paxton Road and Bill Nic Way have changed. As I approached the stadium I could hear machines and could see a JCB moving around over the top of the fencing.

I saw the old ticket office completely gone, they were painting a wall that had just been installed where the hole in the wall appeared from ripping it down. I know there's meant to be a walk way heading into the west stand car park there but it looked like a lot of work/tidying up needed to be done.
Next to the mega store there's a new road entrance that I assume is for cars entering on matchdays or something. There's walk ways and metal fencing around the back of the old buildings on the high road and I assume match days that Bill Nic way will be possibly for walking than car. No sure though as you could still drive in and out from what I could see. Also a walkway going behind the small club shop on the high road.

They've put up the pictures of the new stadium on the fences, so the old are gone for good. Was interesting to look at, seeing a lot more detail than the small pictures posted online. Like the walk way from the stadium to Lilywhite House being a twisted design.

Lastly walking up the ramp looking across the holes in the ground, the holes are getting bigger and deeper. Was good to go inside and stand on the 2nd floor looking out and seeing the future. I had my very old rubbish phone will no so wasn't really worth taking lots of pictures.

Looks like archway has gone on those pictures.
I was hoping they'd wait until Saturday lunch time and let us watch.

Those pics are from the West / North West and don't show Archway.

Archway are still there in all their glory - as posted on here at the start of August. IIRC Archway will be there for a good few months yet.

I think they've got till October to move out. Could be wrong though, that's just off the top of my head

Interesting interview with Christopher Lee, senior principal at populous architects, And the picture below show our new stadium mock up model's one of his works, just an outside area one I think. (no idea with others beside him maybe his other works.) Can't see much details from the pic but just feel exciting every time when see our new stadium appear on media.

Why the disagree rating @dkyid - if something changes significantly will it not look a whole lot different

Isn't the kop the south stand which is the point of the egg.
