Does have that 70s look to the piccie.
Sad that Giger was not commissioned for a
proposed new WHL design.
Wow, really does show the scope of what the club are about to achieve ...you could nearly fit two of the old girl in there !!
Would've made the tunnel cams interesting...Does have that 70s look to the piccie.

You'll be in the North East corner, you'll be pleasantly cheered to know that, if we ever get a non-tory government, provision has been made for safe standing in there. Aren't we good to you?

No offence - but your interest in that would be exactly what??
(Sorry LL, couldn’t resist!)
An accountant on SSC did some figures showing that if you wanted the cup game tickets, a programme and the drink, then it's not THAT much more expensive than other tickets in the South Stand.
I gave up programmes decades ago and have somewhere to drink before the game and only go for a pee at half time, so it wouldn't be for me, even if I could afford it. I reckon that they'll all sell eventually but if they are the last options available, it'll tell a story......even if it's that some will pay extra to avoid climbing the stairs up to the back of the South Stand.
Sounds promising, so is that the opposite end of the ground to where the old away end was? If walking up from Seven Sisters?
And in the case of FA Cup games will it stretch round behind the goal?

Ain't over till it's over mind! We were the last team to ever win at the old ground so would be nice if we were the first team to win at the new one
Yes, that's right. The intention is to get away fans to approach the ground from the north [Tottenham Hale] as there may be lots of fans in and around the raised area outside the South Stand. The pubs that were full pre-match with a 36,000 capacity just aren't going to cope with 62,000 and they've got to go somewhere, especially on a nice sunny day in August and September and March, April and May.
I can only imagine that cup games will see away fans inhabiting more of the North Stand, as the East and West aren't going to wear away fans in the restaurants and cheese rooms. Like me, you'll need to bring your own cheese.
Exciting isn't it?
Whilst you're here....can you ask any Saints wanting safe standing to sign up to the Parliamentary petition. 100,000 names needed and we're still not half way...

Chris Cowlin's latest report. I'd not got a handle on how far advanced the steelwork at the top of the South Stand is. Also, ,the East Stand is really catching up with the West.
From SSC...they have started putting in the roof cassettes. Just the 2 so far on the East Stand. A bloke on SSC is one of the fitters and he says in a couple of weeks time, they will bring in more teams and the fitting will really start to speed up. Just as well, as there's about 550 pieces to fit in total.

To complete a perfect day, the second roof cassette didn't fit and had to be "lamela'd" and withdrawn to prevent further damage. Apparently, they're going to have another try on Monday....a bit like the team, on Tuesday.
Best both get it right next time out....
Mr AV's been at it again...that roof's starting to get in the way.

There's been a bit of excitement regarding the 'ITK' on the roof assembly. After stating that Saturday's attempts went badly and it was decided to reconvene on Monday and try again with more teams on site, the poster removed all content and has completely disappeared. Cue much conjecture as to whether he was a faker or just wanted to keep his job...
Well, there are 2 teams at work today, one on the East side and one on the West. The troublesome second piece on the East in in place and the third is going in, as well. Also, a new crane has appeared on the podium behind the South Stand along with a whole load of steelwork, possibly, the framework for the glass wall?
It's all go today. It also seems like the bloke was for real but has been silenced. I wonder if he's keeping Toby company or has kept his job wearing a DoF muzzle?
