Will be absolute madness on matchday let’s be honest. An extra 25k I really can’t imagine it. Will be like those busy days on Oxford st when you literally can’t walk on the pavement cause it’s so rammed.
People were thinner in those days thoughTrouble with you youngsters.... we had crowds in the 60000s regularly back in the 50s and 60s.
Good point was not as much traffic, more buses though, so there's lots of people to walk to the games. SO more people walking the roads before and after.
That would not have got planning consent, nor would it get fire brigade and police approval before we open. Indeed, one of the main points of debate when the revised design was submitted for approval was the removal of three historic buildings, because the pavement was too narrow (2m). There were thick reports submitted to demonstrate how the crowds can be got in and out of the neighbourhood safely - heaving, Carnival-style throngs would not be acceptable.

And we didn't need tickets then, just walk up so there were even more people around sometimes.Trouble with you youngsters.... we had crowds in the 60000s regularly back in the 50s and 60s.

Was there ever talk or did they try to buy these properties? Would make a big difference to have that area as like a forecourt for approach to stadium. I guess they probably listed by looks of buildings ?
Locally listed, I think. They're part of the local conservation area and I believe Haringey made their retention a proviso of the wider development - some historic buildings got demolished, other than the stadium!
I'm curious how people on the edges of the south stand will be able to see all the pitch. It seems like the upper level of the west/east stand and the walls between them and the south stand would get in the way, but it may just be me no getting the lines right without the seats etc. in place. The welcome video on the dedicated website makes it look seamless, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.
Looking back to September, when work hadn't even begun on the south stand, really stresses how far and how quickly work has progressed.
When you see the design of the south stand and how it interacts with the easy and West, you can see that the sight lines aren't compromised.Locally listed, I think.
