I'm hoping we don't get relegated with them really!So West Ham in the league then?

I was at the U21 gameIn terms of the two most recent major football stadium openings in Britain, Wembley had:
1) An event for local residents to test the escalators, toilets and concourse facilities, with a couple of local teams playing mini-games on the pitch.
2) A charity game between the Geoff Thomas Foundation Charity XI and the Wembley Sponsors Allstars
3) An U21 friendly between England and Italy
With the capacity restricted to 60, 2/3rds of full capacity, for all of these.
The Emirates had:
1) An open day for shareholders and selected corporates to see and test the facilities
2) An open training session (capacity 20k)
3) A testimonial for Dennis Bergkamp (capacity 54k)
We can expect something similar to this to happen over the summer before the first competitive games there in September. I quite like the idea our first game being "for realsies" but it isn't particularly likely.
Sounded like a cracker! David Bentley free-kick for England prompting "The Next Beckham" talk if I'm remembering correctly?I was at the U21 game
Yep that’s the one.Sounded like a cracker! David Bentley free-kick for England prompting "The Next Beckham" talk if I'm remembering correctly?
Ahhh, I was there and honestly thought Pazzini was going to be a world-beater. Bentley also scored a decent free-kick.In terms of the two most recent major football stadium openings in Britain, Wembley had:

Yeah, that'd be nice. Ideal would be a testimonial for Mason I reckon but might be hard to organise if we're not 1000% sure we'll have the place ready by early August at the latest for that so might have to wait until the next summer.Think it might be an open training session or a friendly with some legend etc...
It will have to be something spurs related in my onion.

I like this as it acknowledges that modern nfl pitches aren't something that can be easily unzipped at will - with layers of sand and rubber infill, it is a permanent fixture.Maybe they'll lay a flat base on the nfl pitch temporarily and then lay the tracks on that thereby spreading the load and leaving the nfl pitch completely undamaged, that's what I'd do.
It was indeed mentioned, but they said it wasn't really possible while he's still under contract elsewhere due to the nature of modern image rights agreements.Wasn't there talk of a testimonial for Dawson? It's in the trust notes somewhere IIRC.
I may have imagined it though.
Just sheets of plywood, shouldn't take long.Haven't they said it'll take like 20 mins or something to move the pitch in or out? Bloody quick work if they have to lay anything temporarily!
Yeeeeeeeeah, but, how?The video about the pitch says rails for the retractable pitch will be hidden safely beneath the NFL playing surface
Without the tits.View attachment 36826 Love this like Dr who scene
I paid £6 for a pint of Gamma Ray at The Jugged Hare in central London a couple of weeks ago. I really hope we're not going to go above City prices in bloody Tottenham.Draft Gamma Ray at the Lane would be the stuff dreams are made of.
We should do a sweepstake on the price for 1 pint. £7 I reckon
Actually, if I was Levy/Lewis, i'd be tempted to put in a bid to sponsor the name of the stadium and call it the THFC Fixer-Upper Arena.
