So, they didn't actually get fitted, they'd just left the factory? Not exactly the big deal the Sun make sit out to be really!!

Not sure if this has been asked before but the original 3d plan Spurs bought out when choosing your season ticket seat had the first (at a guess) 40 rows set aside for safe standing in the South Stand once it gets allowed. What happens to row 41 and further back? Surely their views will be blocked by everyone in front of them standing if they want to sit? :)

I know most people are aware its the standing area of the ground but you can guarantee there will be some that just want to sit in there.

Row 29(I think) is for wheelchairs and row 30 (I think) for ambulant disabled and it is higher so they can see over all the rows in front of them. Row numbers may not be totally accurate but you get the idea I hope.

...the latest setback for the Prem club.

...Bungling workers...

Humiliated staf....

...Spurs’ management “hit the roof”

...The club has already had to switch next season’s Premier League fixtures, starting with a series of away games and a home fixture at Wembley Stadium...

...But one insider at the stadium said: “There has been blood on the walls over this. It is very embarrassing.

...it looks very bad.

If someone will tell me the name of the Sun journalist [oxymoron] who wrote this, I will personally seek them out and chop off all their fingers.

Anyone educated in artificial pitches tell us what the dudes playing live-action mario kart on it are doing? Three little... lawn mowers? Artificial lawn mowers? No idea, seem to just be turning sections of it a slightly shitty colour.

Putting down the rubber pellets that give the artificial pitch more bounce.

Actually not only one guy, there have been a fair few studies in the US and Europe about it and it comes from the fact that a number of companies have been making the pellets from used tyres. The rubber used in these isn't as stricly governed as to what can be in them as the rubber used in childrens toys etc. and as such they do contain quite a few cancerogenous elements.

However as Bobbins stated it is only through prolonged use and/or ingesting large amounts that it will cause a problem.

A lot of the companies that produce the astro pitches are starting to use more ethical minded pellet making companies though, just costs them more for the pellets.

Only by one guy, it’s another Andrew Wakefield moment. They’re absolutely fine as long as you don’t invest several pounds of them every week.
I wouldn’t invest any amount of money in them he says in jest. ;):LOL:
