A new video up on our twitter a/c with Ledley showing the concourse areas......I cannot wait. Also, there's signs of cables being 'tensioned' on the roofing supports. According to those who understand such things, this could be the start of the 2-3 week roof lift.
Things like that aggregate mix composition is what makes me feel so proud of the club. With that, and St Nicholsons' ashes moved to a place where they will/would be under both new and old WHL pitches, is what makes Spurs so different to others.
For a moment I was lost......I could see myself climbing the few stairs in the West Stand a while ago and stopping to admire the Mecca of Football. The Spurs pitch. AAAHHHH! Heaven!
.....then I could see myself and my mates kicking a tennis ball as kids at the back of The Shelf in the East Stand at halftime during a reserve game.......then I could see myself behind the goal at Paxton Road end in the snow,body to body and completely cold but dry,apart from our hair,watching a European Cup game.
...then I could see me and my mates walking back from a kick around on the Tottenham Marshes listening,on my transistor radio,as Henry Cooper knocked out Cassius Clay only for the bell to go and Clay's people carried him to hi corner,cut his glove and wait for another pair,giving Clay time to recover......
.....then taking my first Spurs game out of London at Doncaster in an FA Cup game in the snow as a teenager.....and winning 2-0 thanks to Bobby Smith and Johnny Brooks........and hearing that people actually supported Arsenal. What a shock that was.......!? Ah! Memories!
Not only you, Ledley mate, I’m welling up listening to that Brilliant idea and shows a real understanding of the fans connection to the club.
After a couple of weeks of little to report, there's a hive of activity within the bowl and behind the South Stand tonight. Constant deliveries and flooded with labour. We've definitely passed the end of the beginning, so this must be the beginning of the end?
The OS have released images of the first panels of 'outer wrapping' attached to the exterior. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Hmmmm. It's a bit like holding up a swatch of wallpaper at home. Maybe you need lots and lots of it pasted to the wall for Mrs B to get the proper full 'effect' and decide that it doesn't go. Only 4,790 odd panels left to go up. At a stated 45 minutes per panel to erect, that would take one man 150 days, working flat out, 24 hours a day, without a break. I hope Mrs Levy makes an early decision if she "just hates it".
In these days of "climate change" we all hope it stands up to nasty weather and doesn't finish up at Bruce Grove!
Can anyone tell me what is happening at the top of the South stand - could it possibly be the construction of the new screens?
