New Stadium Details And Discussions

[chico]

For the Prem games like Boro, Stoke etc tickets at a fiver or tenner would probably bring in families and new fans , who have been unable to afford, or unable to get, tickets at WHL . This could be a chance to win a generation of new fans? I'd happily buy 6-8 seats for a match vs Boro to bring family and friends if they were affordable.
We've got to be positive about the next few years, these are truly exciting times for Spurs fans

Exchange rates being rubbish against the pound meaning materials cost more from abroad. Unless mace bought euros prior to Brexit which can be done or got guaranteed fixed prices from the supply chain which I doubt as packages are still being tendered.

It may be that the club hedged by buying Euros, but Mace are construction managers, not contractors. They are not procuring materials, nor cash-flowing the build.

I would think that any package contractors whose prices had been agreed and whose contracts do not allow for fluctuations will have to bear the consequences of changes in the exchange rate themselves. Any package contractors whose contracts are long enough to have a fluctuations clause or were not finalised before the referendum will probably be able to pass on the extra cost to THFC.

Only way I can think of is if we're importing construction materials from Europe, in which case the decline in the pound will be costing us (much as it did in the summer with the transfers of Jansen, N'Koudou and Lopez).

Cost of steel has skyrocketed recently post brexit but its still lower than when Arsenal made their stadium

Iirc the cost of steel went to an all time low pre brexit, it sky rocketed but still cheaper than it was in 2012

Agreed, I doubt the period between tender and start date is long enough for Brexit to actually matter. My company tendered for the roof package and that was the back end of last year. We had a contingencies for material fluctuations, and would have bought euros if required.

I've only heard that they have applied for an increase of the amount of events they can hold at full capacity. Not the actual number.

You probably know more than me.

This link says it's 31 additional events http://www.wembleystadium.com/Press/Press-Releases/2017/1/Wembley-up-date-on-2017-2018-season.aspx

That'd be all our games presumably (if they get it)

This would be fantastic - more Spurs fans getting to go to games has to be a good thing

Perhaps if we get to the FA Cup final we can play it at NWHL?

Yes, the application clearly states the additional events (31) all pertain to Spurs games.

Interesting article that touches on business opportunities at the new stadium. Maybe some of our resident chefs could cook up a Tottenham legends menu and get lucky enough to be picked...

Small businesses and start-ups will also have a chance sell their produce inside the ground and Cullen asserts that when Spurs contract for the stadium the focus will sit firmly on embracing “the local heroes”.

They've got a thing about cheese.

Doesn't most of the noise at their stadium come from fans asking the guy with the binoculars what's happening on the pitch?

We didn't consider it at our stadium? Padded seats? They were lucky to get seats.
Lets take a look at their state of the art retractable seating.

Even kumb realise how cringeworthy her comments are.

To be fair, we didnt consider having a shit stadium like theirs, so we went with a stadium fit for purpose

 

[worcestersauce]

Every announcement we make just seems to take them lower and lower down.
Actually I'll add to that, every announcement she makes must take them lower and lower, I feel for the West Ham fans I know, they deserve better than the motley crew they've got in charge now.
It's not like we'll be playing recorded crowd noise, its just the design of the stadium.

She actually makes me cringe.

The author of the article is a nephew of mine and also a spurs fan. He had to be all professional about the assignment and going to the launch but fair play to him he still managed to get a signed picture of Ledley King for my son and me, he said he had a chat with Ledley and he was very down to earth and a real gent. Cheers for posting the link.
