Levy has paid a lot of attention to building a stadium that promotes atmosphere, so hopefully the new White Hart Lane will be a success.
Any clues as to why Wembley is poor?

There are pockets of supporters trying to start songs. They're distributed in different locations around d a huge bowl. The noise rolls around inside it and everyone gets out of synch very quickly. It's quite amazing how fast the whole thing becomes disjointed. Hopefully, we'll get used to it. The Gent game's atmosphere was pretty good at times.

Unfortunately, "Oh when the Spuuuuurs......" doesn't travel to that stadium as it distorts soooo much.

Like so many of the ugly, ugly buildings that scar the London skyline, The FA were more interested in having an "iconic" building rather than one which was fit for purpose.

You need acoustics experts with models of the old Twin towers and
current stadium to answer that. The old stadium certainly had a
greater spectator density (100,000 packed into not very high terraced
stands etc) . Perhaps it was never that great, and we collectively
suffer some nostalgic "cognitive bias" .

Extrapolating from our build it's largely the roof. We're having ours shaped and having sound baffles and dampening input in places to shape and direct the sound waves. Being a few years behind the others to build new stadiums is going to pay dividends on numerous issues.
 
You will be proven wrong as you always are, but I don't want you to feel bad about this.
Not been proved wrong very often so far, though some do have differing opinions to me at times.
I just watch other international teams and realise we have nobody with the technical skill or game intelligence that would be a starter in most of them.
We have some fast players, we have some strong players but sadly we have no great players.

Walker Dele and Kane will be great players and maybe Dier as well. WE always have great players we just haven't had a decent team

Sorry, good players yes, great no.
I will say that Kane is one of very few that can actually hit a high percentage of his shots on target which is a minimum expectation that most fail to live up to. He does not have the movement or ball skills to match most top strikers from around Europe though, still clinical is a good trait to have.
Oh, and Walker will never be a great full back, decent winger yes, defender no. What do you see in Dier to single him out from many other players in his position?
Dele has the makings of the type of player I mean when I say great.
