Drunk and ticketless no doubt
A statue of Tottenham Arthur
I'd like a huge wall outside the stadium featuring the immortal words "Ken Dodds dads dogs dead".
This is so true yet so many choose not to believe it. It`s the reason their owners hate and fear us so much. They can`t understand why,despite all the billions pumped into the club, and the trophies they have bought, we still have bigger fan base (at least in the UK) than them. Also I`m convinced we have the potential to be bigger than Woolwich. As I have said before, my line of work means I have moved countless times across the midlands and southwest of England, and in every place, bar none, I have come across far more Spurs than Woolwich. And thats despite their recent dominance on the pitch. The potential of Spurs is massive.
That use to be on the wall of the army surplus store up towards Bruce grove as well.
Use to buy a lot of vintage button down collar shirts from there
Arthur Rowe? I'll agree with that
I fear it won't be the case for long though. Seems like about 50% of the under 14 population of London support Chelsea these days.
WW3 will deal with them
I don't know but I think he was referring to the possibility of some rich bugger buying them out a la Citeh , Citeh have / had a rented stadium etc
Can't copy the picture from Facebook but just seen a seating plan that shows what will be standard seating and what will be hospitality. Besides the middle tiers, the whole two blocks on the halfway line in lower tier of the shelf will be hospitality.
Sat in this are for almost 15 years in the current lane. Surrounded by proper yids, some old boys who've been there for 30 years or more. I was all for the new stadium but this has really fucked me off and tells me exactly where the owners priorities lie

Don't know what you expected really. It's quite clear from the plans the more vocal section of support will end up in the single tier stand.
You can't reasonably expect them to replicate the seating arrangement of the old ground in the new one.
It looks like a better solution than the middle tier of corporate that they have at the Emirates and Wembley.
There are 8,000 corporate seats in the leaked seating plan. There are over 10,000 at the Emirates, in a slightly smaller stadium.
I think the ratio is reasonable. I would rather have all the corpies grouped together on the halfway line that spread all the way round in a middle tier like the Emirates. Will help the atmosphere.
The single tier stand is great, but not for people who like to sit on the sides. Especially the older folk who don't like to stand too much. Just feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth to loyal supporters who have sat/stood here for years . It feels elitist, like normal fans now aren't allowed the seats with the best views unless you have bags of money. I know its the modern way and it is a business but it just doesn't sit right with me. I'd rather they were tucked away in a middle tier.
I've always found the best areas of the lane aren't the ones on the halfway line anyway.
Quite hard to say without seeing the diagram though, be good to have a look. Know where it came from?
Give us a name or link to her porn website, or don't waste our time
Heres what she thinks of a groundshare
:carrollwtf:
No those figures don't look right. Anyone who thinks we're bigger then United, Woolwich and Liverpool are deluding themselves. Sure, they're all cunts, but they're bigger clubs. Chelsea certainly are worldwide, and City won't be far behind.
Using season ticket waiting lists to compare fanbases does not work either. Using Spurs as an example, we put anyone who buys a membership or walks/drives/flies with 12 miles of the ground on our waiting list. They're not waiting, I can assure you.
Secondly, with this, geography plays its part. I would expect the other clubs to have a much wider spread of support, in heavier numbers. Therefore, the large number of, say, Chelsea fans living in Sterlingshire aren't going to be on a season ticket waiting list, nor the vast number of United fans in London and every fucking where else. It simply isn't logical for them to be.
I really wouldn't read much into it, mate. I'd like to see a source for those figures, in any case.
I think it must be from a planning meeting or something and someone sneaked a photo on their phone:
not very clear but yellow is hospitality, blue normal and red away. I must say the south stand does look class in that plan though when you see the scale. Also looks like Paxton is 3 tiers, no corporate which I didn't know before. I do love how the ground isn't unified all around like other new stadiums.
Just looking at that south stand makes the hairs on my neck go!
The seats at the top seem quite far away from the pitch, I wish it could have been a little steeper.
I think it will be quite steep, we haven't exactly got loads of space behind the ground.
