I think a season ticket holder of 10 years might feel aggrieved that they have no more priority than a season ticket holder of 2 years.
Don't they? It says that the priority goes to those with the most consecutive years of season ticket ownership. I've only browsed it so far, so I'm probably missing something.
Sales Phase 1 - Tenure of 11 years (or more) and holding 310 or more Loyalty Points 2 - Tenure of 11 years (or more) and holding 200 - 309 Loyalty Points 3 - Tenure of 11 years (or more) and holding 0 - 199 Loyalty Points 4 - Tenure of 1 - 10 years 5 - First year as a Season Ticket holder and season ticket waiting list position of 1 - 10,000 at the end of the 2016/17 season 6 - First year as a Season Ticket holder and season ticket waiting list position of 10,001 – 25,000 at the end of the 2016/17 season 7 - First year as a Season Ticket holder and season ticket waiting list position of 25,001 – 43,999 at the end of the 2016/17 season 8 - First year as a Season Ticket holder and season ticket waiting list position of 44,000 – 66,050 at the end of the 2016/17 season
I have just seen the video of kane and lloris in the tunnel and walking out to the pitch level and the view you get of inside the stadium WOW looks stunning.harry comments how he can't wait to score at the new lane and celebrate with us fans well that's fecked off all the hacks who said he's leaving. I Don't care what the new ground will be called it'll always be the lane to me.
If we as Spurs fans agree that 'The Lane' is a totally acceptable abbreviation of our old home, then maybe that could be incorporated into the new sponsored name? 'The FedEx Lane' for example would be the official title, but all fans would still refer to it as The Lane. Mind you, maybe we should look at a sponsor from high street fashion and become the 'New Look White Hart Lane'
I know things move on and time changes a lot of things but I can't think of calling our new stadium anything else but the lane maybe I'm showing my age here but I'm sure I'm not alone amongst our fans of a similar age to me.Having witnessed some great games over the last 50 years and the memories I have I just can't call it anything else.
I remember when the Emirates was being built I was really hoping they would call it the DUREX stadium because it was full of pr*cks
except we've said for a long time that we can't compete with the likes of Utd or Arsenal because of the capacity of WHL. Surely that only means something if the club maximises it's revenue at the bigger stadium. I know naming rights and NFL are new revenue streams, but match day revenue on the lines of Arsenal and Utd are what we need to compete on transfers and wages, surely? That said I couldn't actually read the prices on that blue background, so I hope they've pitched them right in terms of filling the ground.
It will always be "the Lane" to supporters. What marketing blurb, sponsors, match commentators say etc is irrelevant.
Not entirely. The branding of the club is inextricably linked to the future growth and sustainability. Surely it would be better to accept that and retain some connection to the old ground? If you look at the other new grounds around, none have successfully kept their ground identity. Certainly not the Goons, Citeh, Soton or Leicester as examples. To formally incorporate 'Lane' in there somewhere would surely be a bridge to the history?
"The X stadium, WHL" is no big deal for all parties. The old stadium became named due to a nearby major road than runs thru the Tottenham area. As I said the other day, the new stadium is now a good 50m closer to that road then the old stadium was.
I agree. It will always be "The Lane" to me whatever they call it. However as a formal name, the company paying the big bucks will insist that nothing interferes with their brand.
I read somewhere that DL is looking at a £400m naming rights deal over 20 years. Not forever but a significant period.
