so does anyone know if the test events are usually invitational and free?

Predicted months ago our first home game at NWHL would be against a team in top 5.
Shock horror it is.
Have we ever had any fkin luck with fixtires in our entire history?

You'd rather have the first match in our new home against ... Huddersfield? Of course, we want to start the place off with a high-profile match against a major opponent. Just as we closed out the old place against Man Utd.

No. I would prefer it were against a weaker opponent.
I'd rather chance a comfortable win to start us off than risk a loss against one of the best teams.
Gonna be a shit stain on our history if we lose our first game.
Liverpool fans will never let us forget it as would any team were we to lose our first game at NWHL.
You're obviously more confident than me.
Closing out WHL was great because we won. Had we lost it would have sucked balls big time and ruined the day.

Spurs Ladies is exactly what I was thinking - would be a great way for the club to boost interest in the ladies team as I'm sure lots of folk who aren't usually interested in them would be keen to access the test event. I'm also quite sure once the TV fixtures are announced the 2/3/4th events will be arranged so they are on opposite days to the first team's matches.

That is a great idea. Would be a huge boost for Spurs Ladies. I’d definitely go to that, would prefer that to an open training session.

They’re installing some bits on top of the cables in the gaps between the roof cassettes. Anyone know what those are or what the next steps for the roof will be? Looking off in the distance it almost looks they have guardrails or something going up on top of them, but I know that’s not right.

Well I suppose we’ll just have to beat Liverpool then. To dare is to do, as they say. We’re better than them anyways.

second drawing below...
To maybe help those who don't understand, below are three sections of the three details at the important junctions where the red line is the single ply membrane and the blue is metal cladding or other associated metalwork.

The first drawing is a section at the curved eaves, where the curved eaves sits to above and to the left of that shown, and the metal cladding comes down from the top of it to meet the cassettes.
View attachment 38770
The second image below is a section through the junction between two rows of cassettes, again, red is the single ply membrane and blue represents a metal capping bridging the cap on the inverted 'L' sections that you can see installed on the webcams
View attachment 38771
Lastly, the below shows a junction between the end of the row of cassettes and the glass panels on the inner edge of the roof.

It would be shit to lose to them but all the sweeter when we beat them. We want the first game there to be a showcase, lots of publicity etc. The players will be bang up for it and we can beat them. Bring it on!

second drawing below...

Wait, I think I may understand now. So what they’re installing now are essentially brackets, and a long metal “cap” will be installed on it with a watertight membrane sealing everything off. Do I have that right?

I cannot see how you could lift strips of fieldTurf, narrow or wide, thin or thick, without the infill going everywhere. It would be a major job to repair the pitch, replacing and recompacting the pellets/sand, every time 'our' pitch is rolled away.

I think what we see is what we'll get: a green carpet on top of a grey presumably elasticated underlay, but who knows. I'm sure it meets all the standards but is not top of the range.
I don't think state of the art artificial grass has rubber pellets anymore, that technology is 10-15 years old.

Hertyid a couple of minutes ago on COYS:

Will definitely be ready for the Liverpool game. The entire stadium should be 100% finished by 1st August (in terms of physical build, inside and out). Test event 1 on 5th August will be reduced capacity but the stadium itself will be done. As you can see from the photos it's almost there now in terms of structure, and the detail can be completed in a matter of weeks.

That isn't the problem. The problem is that the police have a certain amount of overtime they can grant in any given weekend and a certain number of officers who will take up that offer. Especially after the past 7-8 years of government reductions in the numbers of police in London, they can't scrape together enough bodies to cover two games in North London in one weekend. They never could. Now it's worse.

the only game that will mean they play at home the same week is Arse play Cardiff end of Jan on a Tuesday, we play Watford at home on the Wednesday, so not much disruption

Test events could simply be a training session one for spurs and one for an nfl team if they are over here.

doubt it will be training, as I'm sure all test events are on the same day we are due to play a match

we only have 4 league games at the NWHL right up to the end of November, so by then we would of played 13, 8 away, 1 at Wembley and 4 at the lane, v Liverpool, Cardiff, Man C and Chelsea. that's 3 pretty tough games in that group, by the end of November we will either be flying high, or the new lane will be a hoo doo stadium

Spot on, they're installing the L brackets at the moment.
