    My seat is in the Lower East stand. Most people round me joined in the Shelfside chants. The West Stand seemed much quieter but it was hard to tell with all the noise from the South Stand. There were two periods of about 30 seconds when it went a bit quiet and you could hear the Palace fans.

    Girls blouse. :)

    I had a megawatt of angry pride surge thru me the moment I saw the
    cockerel on the south stand lit up like gold.

    Are you sure that wasn't what you bought at Naan & Noodle working its way through?

    WHL on steroids would be a good name for the stadium thread

    The Standard are reporting.........overcrowding on the tube........Yeah, I know........it's a shocker.

    https://www.standard.co.uk/news/lon...irst-match-at-new-spurs-stadium-a4109021.html

    Strangely, the overcrowding of trains to Wembley on CL nights passed them by and went without comment. A couple of times I had to bend in half to cower in the doorway to get on a train having been held at the London Bridge Jubilee Line ticket barriers for 20 minutes and been unable to get on 3 or 4 trains due to severe overcrowding.

    If you can't handle large crowds, living in London and travelling on the tube during peak periods probably isn't for you. Maybe leave work earlier...or later....or go for a drink...or do one of the hundreds of other things available to you in the city?

    DL and the club deserve immense credit for this. <applause><applause>
    They stated and documentated from the outset that this is what they were designing in and yet there were many - both on and off this forum - who doubted it would happen.
    A few apologies are probably in order. :emoticon-0148-yes:
    A job well done on so many levels bequeathing the club, fans and area a stadium to be justly proud of. :emoticon-0152-heart

    Yeah Levy’s nailed it. He’s delivered what I’d say is the best stadium in the world, and I know to an extent it should be seeing as it’s just been built but it really is different class, it seems ahead of its time. Still so close to the pitch which so many “new” stadiums failed to incorporate and it’s perfectly designed for atmosphere.

    As Robbie Keane even said in a couple of his interviews, it still feels like WHL, just upgraded.

    Really happy with my seat as well. I’ve seen so many of the regular faces I sat with at WHL who are all in similar/ equivalent spots at NWHL. When our stand gets going it really does generate some phenomenal noise.

    His passing is pretty damn good Audrey.
    Haven't got stats to support that, but cannot recall too many misplaced (1 last night?) and they are generally forward passes.

    He needs to practice the situation he found himself in on Sunday because it's highly likely with his pace and power he'll find himself in the same situation quite often. A Sissoko with the composure to put a decent shot on target would be worth 10 points a season.

    Seven Sisters for ages has been known as a nightmare in waiting.
    On the overground train side, some TfL watch :

    1. running 8 carriage trains on the Enfield/Cheshunt branches from
    the start of the evening rush hour to end of day ??

    2. trying to run additional "shuttle" trains between Liverpool St and Enfield
    (Liverpool St - Hackney Downs - Seven Sisters - Edmonton Green - Enfield etc) ??

    3. is the 3rd overground platform at Northumberland Park actually completed ??

    I've been divorced twice. Any suggestion of a move to within 15 minutes walk of the stadium would guarantee the hat-trick.

    They're already hard enough to move when empty.

    My qualms have never been about the Stadium...I've not uttered a word of complaint with regards to any of it and taken the delays in my stride...I knew the stadium was going to be epic

    Now if Levy can navigate the next stage of the vision...I'll start a thread apologising as I have done so with players I have lambasted in the past <laugh>
