I grew up literally across the road from Vale Farm, their traditional home. The old man played for them and I was watching them from as far back as I can remember. I always preferred football but he always wanted us to play rugby. For the outcome, watch Field of Dreams.....
They like cider and pears....and that's what I like with my cheese. We're not going anywhere near cheese and cocks, okay?
Based on domestic/Euro competitions, there is probably the Quins game + 2-3 others per season for which the Sarries would fill new WHL.
Sheikh Mansour Team fans are up in arms that they'll be paying £60 for away tickets for the CL quarter final ...would they like to tell the class how much the club are charging for a ticket in blocks 221 & 222 for their home game against Cardiff?
...and/or the epitome of people who for some strange reason claim to support a team yet have no idea how much a ticket for a home game costs
On the one hand I get the reasoning for going cashless at the food/drink stands as it (in theory...) speeds up the process by not having staff shuttle back and forth to the tills with cash and change, but on the other hand there's the obvious issue that if the EPOS system is on the blink it's going to play merry hell with the running of the stadium - and let's be honest, there's a decade's worth of evidence that Oyster cards don't speed things up at the ticket barriers because one person's card not being read the first time rapidly causes a logjam
This article's a re-hash of previous information. Our stadium is possibly the best in the world, 'their' stadium has aged rapidly, Highbury was complete crap, etc., etc. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...tspurs-new-home-sets-benchmark-modern-stadia/ The one interesting bit is that the cost of the new stadium is stated as £700m and not the £1 billion readily quoted elsewhere. Part of the problem with judging what the stadium's costing is working out ,what other parts of this and other developments are costing. On that front, the club are pressing ahead with the appeal regarding the local authorities lack of response to The Goods Yard development and has put in plans for the redevelopment of 867-879 High Road... http://867-879highroad.co.uk/ Similarly, to The Goods Yard site that it sits alongside, this is for 300+ housing units. If you add the 500+ appartments next to the South Stand, that's 1,200 units, which has got to be at least £200m in profit in a sensible post-Brexit property market, if they get the go ahead and is likely to account for a decent wedge of development spending. The message is that most reporting on the stadium development and its costs are complete guesses and so lacking in detail as to be completely useless as any gauge of what debt we might be left with in 5 or 10 years' time.
So all this time our sojourn at Wembley has taken you back to your roots? Were you at school in that area? I’m asking because I grew up and went to school a few miles away!
East Lane after Perrin Road Junior. My clever brother went to John Lyon. I only discovered my brain after I left school.
Glad you discovered your brain - we're all the beneficiaries on here! Me? Welldon Park. Then first choice for 11+ was UCS. They rejected me - thought I'd not sustain my early intellectual promise (please do not comment on this!!!). Second choice - John Lyon. But interviews were same day as UCS, so I missed out. Down to my third choice - Harrow County. Where I spent the next seven years! Went to watch Wasps a few times at Vale Farm with my dad. I did play cricket there once too, by the way! Wembley CC ......... [3rd XI!] More recently a few times nearby against Sudbury Court (I think they were called), before I retired from active participation. Sorry about the historical rambling. You seem to have got me going! Ignore me. I'll just go and sit in a corner with my little bag of reminiscences.
