Looks great, but I hope we don't sacrifice atmosphere to the glitz and shine of this corporate colosseum

Bit worried that this will be a new wembley, all nice and neat with its fine beers and spatchcock chickens and clay pizza-ovens, with a set of nice fans in nice shoes applauding politely as the team float gentle passes to one another across a sizeable pitch

I like the aggression at the Lane, with thousands screaming "yiddo, yiddo" at Danny Rose as he sprints 50 metres to rob a defender and lash a ball across the face of goal

I think it will be important to manage the relocation of fans in to the new ground

Core vocal support i.e. Shelf and Park Lane fans need to be moved to areas that will form new vocal areas and be sat together so that they can feed off one another and continue to create an atmosphere

I think at Wembley we saw too much division between groups of vocal fans and it resulted in an overall loss of collective noise and atmosphere

I've had Gooner fans tell me that when they moved from HIghbury the season ticket holders got separated with their allocated seats at the new stadium and this caused a drop off in noise (although as Highbury was dubbed the Library I'm not sure how valid these claims are)

Looks ace. But yes, echo the comments about the support, I would hope Spurs have learnt from others' mistakes
