I can’t wait and it looks superb . Only concern I have with is the colours on the outside , it looks abit like an office? Anyone that has been to the outside can they reconfirm it’s not so dull as the pictures suggest (the inside looks unreal )

That's one hell of an office you must work in! :)

If this building was in central London it would definitely be up there with the gherkin and the shard as buildings you have to see purely based on architecture.

Honest to god, I don't think we really appreciate whats being achieved here, and how much this is a huge part of this clubs history and evolution. For all the bollocks been said over the years, I doff my cap to ENIC for this.

It looks amazing already and it's not even lit up yet. On match days with it all lit up it will look even better. Just seeing that Welcome sign inside makes it stand out even more already. It's a very digital stadium so there will be a number of visual effects when it's open. I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium sponsor is a technology company (I know there have been rumours of it being HP).

It’s an incredible achievement to get it built on the same site in such an urban area. And tbh even if we are away 2 years it would be pretty quick. If people had said it will take 3 or 4 years most would have accepted it. A year was always crazy optimistic. But you have to say the easy option would have been to move away and honestly think 9 out of 10 owners would have taken that option.

We tried that option but failed to get the Olympic Stadium. How lucky we are that it didn't come off.

I can't wait to actually see it, it looks incredible and I'm fully prepared to feel emotional the first time I get in there haha.

I hope the screen blends in a little more when it's finished, does still look a little out of place.

I still don't think we ever had any intention of going there, I reckon Levy just wanted to make Haringey Council shit themselves at the thought of Tottenham without us and used it as a bargaining chip.

I guess they could display images of the veil cladding on the screen blending it into the structure.

I think the non-rectangular nature of the screen fit's in perfectly with the flowing lines of the veil.

I do think the screen would be better squared off and placed further left. It looks a bit odd cut off but I'll reserve judgement unitl it's finished.

I think the screen looks fine now as the veil is being completed around it. Just glad the skywalk staircase is finally being covered, it’s ugliness has bugged me for months.

As far as I remember our idea was to knock the Olympic stadium down and build a new one as well as tarting up the old Crystal Palace place for the athletics.
Think this would have meant playing at WHL for the duration of the new build so wouldn't have ben playing at Wembley

We were 100% going there if we won it. I am sorry, I sat in front of Daniel Levy, the single purpose of that meeting from Daniel and Donna's point of view was to convince us to shut up. He could have told me (and Darren Alexander) that it wasn't likely we'd move and it was just an option, we'd have backed off. He didn't. He told us in no uncertain terms it was the club's ONLY viable option and it was Stratford or no new stadium anywhere. We didn't believe him and events since can be interpreted however you might want, but I can promise you, we looked into the whites of his eyes and he was dead set on it.

Not sure about that. We spent millions in professional fees preparing that bid.

It really doesn't look dull at all. It's majestic...
