Joined up stadium? That's what Chav fans are hoping for but unfortunately, currently, less than 1% have joined up writing. Many would claim that is not their fault as when ones knuckles drag along the ground when one walks, it makes it very difficult and painful to hold a pen.
https://www.not606.com/threads/new-stadium-plans.297537/page-43#post-11105559 My next inspection of new WHL in about 2 hrs time.
Doesn't seem to be so on saturday lunchtimes, just guys on the gates watching out for site managers. < skivers >
Was at WHL today. If this folklore about the roof starting to go on in Jan = build on schedule is true, well if that stage requires the "circle to complete" in terms of the entire framework being done and roof height, that is going to be some serious miracle work on the south stand for that to happen.
I'm not claiming any expertise on such matters but on another site there are a couple of blokes, who aren't ITK but are very knowledgeable on major construction projects. Their general view is it's impossible to tell if it's on time and given how few leaks come out of Spurs these days, anyone claiming actual knowledge of whether it is/isn't on schedule is guessing at best and lying, at worse. Their suggestion is that the design of the South Stand should mean that the remaining construction of that part of the stadium is a speedier build than elsewhere because the 'trees' are effectively the support for the whole of the remaining terracing, external glass wall and the roof. Both of those trees are now in, so now there's 2 months to put the structures on top them, as opposed to building from ground up and we should expect rapid-looking progress in that area in the coming weeks. Let's hope so. Back from Wembley and that stadium is starting to get me down.
Hand on heart I can not believe Wembley is so new yet so ****e. Was it designed to make all the noise disappear? If the rumours about Chelsea needing to use it for 5 years are true then their genuine fans will detest the place.
Pick one. Seriously though, it's a bit ****, isn't it? It's not really fit for purpose, unfortunately. Massive gaps between the edge of the pitch and the stands, no acoustics, pretty cheap seats and lots of bare concrete. It's also ****ing freezing on a cold day.
Its only 'success' is fitting a lot of people in it. The views are pretty terrible, the atmosphere is worse, catering is atrocious, transport awful, etc., etc. I've only just started to thaw out from the cold. I'm starting to wonder if Chelsea aren't reconsidering their build. If they can rent Wembley for 5 years [I have my doubts] the effects could be great for everyone else. 5 years is forever in football terms. Lose 5 games in a row and its disaster. 5 concecutive **** seasons is the end for all time. I hope they get to use the place. It's perfect for them.
Now imagine that we'd leased the place for 100 years. Almost makes you feel sorry for West Ham fans, doesn't it? No, of course not, but you see my point. I'm still hoping for a Spam/Scum groundshare at the White Elephant, to be honest. It would be hilarious.
There's no atmosphere at Wembley. One of the reasons is none of us want to be there. Another is the crap acoustics. I can't even understand what Paul Coyte is saying at half time these days. Mind you, I did stop listening today when I heard him call John Pratt "a Spurs Legend". As for the transport, I wasn't born to stand in a queue. So, to be "held" in their queueing system after the game at Wembley Stadium Station, just does my head in.
It would be hilarious. However, if there was inter-breading between these two offshoots of the human race, it could set evolution back 2 million years.
You got as far as the "a Spurs legend" bit ?? I would switched off once the surname was said. "As for the transport, I wasn't born to stand in a queue." What if there are separate transport queues for those unshaven / scruffs / bad hairdos ... ??
