New Stadium Details And Discussions

[spursgirls]

It always makes me laugh how people who don’t work in Construction expect workers to work full pelt all day. It’s physical tough, how many of you guys work 12 hour shifts 7 days a week grafting non stop all day? People are not machines you know

I know that! It's very hard work. It's more that they aren't any workers to be seen. With 3500 there l'd expect to see more on the cams.

I’ve no idea why people see no naming rights as some sort of negative. It’s been repeated numerous times the build isn’t dependent financially on it. So why are people so keen for us to be the “ fedex stadium “ ? Also if our deal is comparable with that lot and around £15m in terms of the bigger picture £15m a year is almost chicken feed. I’ve no idea how the deal would be structured, but unless we got a lump sum upfront is almost irrelevant. Just some nice bonus pin money.

Have promised my poorly daughter as soon as she’s ditched the crutches and fixed her thumb, we’re heading to a home game. Cannot fucking wait. There may be tears

She had crutches for her thumb? Inbreeding in Cornwall I guess (I'm allowed to say that - I'm Cornish)

Agreed, a little less chat chat and a bit more tap tap!

Have there been any details given about the pitch? Ie, is it being grown in a top secret location and do we know how long it needs to bed in before use? From other new stadiums (Wembley springs to mind and also the Singapore National Stadium) they had massive issues with the pitch when it was first laid. Hopefully we won't have the same problem!

From what I recall, the issue with Wembley was nothing to do with the turf but rather to do with the depth of the concrete or something underneath it(?). Other clubs routinely relay pitches in between home games - remember Rochdale had to do it last season ahead of our FA Cup tie. While I have some concerns about the stadium and suspect some finishing touches will be outstanding when we face Liverpool, I've no concerns about the pitch.

Really sorry to hear this mate. My wife was diagnosed with Crohn's last year and at the time had couldn't move her joints. It can be a really challenging time, but little by little things improve. I hope she gets better soon buddy.
