Love this, HAIG would be proud of it, piss boiling at it's best. Nayim, from the half way line, Nayim.....
Haha that’d be crazy! It’s a shame some of the lads are still playing, would’ve loved to have seen Dawson.
Have been in Barcelona this week for Mrs B's 50th. We didn't go to the Nou Camp, as I've been there before and we concentrated on more ethereal structures. However, it didn't stop me....We're in Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and...... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image "Mrs B....? Have you noticed how Gaudi's 'tree columns' are the inspiration for the Tottenham Hotspur ST/\DIUM South Stand supports....?" please log in to view this image please log in to view this image I'm off to today's match. After that, anyone got a sofa that I can kip on for a week or so?
Well if it's a Gaudi design that explains why it is so expensive. But the delay is minimal by Gaudi standards. It was started in 1882!
It would be interesting to look a the engineering calcs for the stadium. Gaudi hung bed sheets from the ceiling to help him design the architectural forms, in order to avoid bending moments (sheets and string can't resist a moment). If the stadium arch is parabolic and of constant section, then theoretically there will be no bending moments and as the bending moments in the trusses are a function of the length squared, the branches of the trees are breaking the trusses into shorter lengths, hence significantly reducing the moments on the longer spans. It's quite interesting that Gaudi could do the same with a bed sheet and a ball of string, that modern day engineers require high powered computers and thousands of pounds worth of software to reproduce. To top that, Gaudi didn't have the benefit of reinforced concrete. A quite remarkable achievement. Don't tell the salty rivals though, they'll say that we are trying to copy Barcelona.
Gazza confirmed! Have a great time everyone going, I am super envious of you all. Pics galore please!!

Being broadcast live on Spurs Twitted and facebook now. I guess they wanted to sell as many tickets as possible before announcing it.
Am sat along the 18 yard line on the South side (East Stand) row19. A roof strut completely blocks the view of the cockerel. Very East Stand! This place is stunning. Everyone is so happy. COYS!
I trust nothing blocks the view of the pitch nowadays. I remember buying a restricted view seat for a NLD. I was dancing around a column all match.
