Prefer the new one, the old one was a bit generic.
The old design looked like it was knocked up by a sixth form student.

You mean it might've been the Liverpool fans fault for the treatment they got?Hmm... I get the point about football tourism. However I've gone to see teams I don't support for the experience of going to a different ground, seeing football in a different country and just because I enjoy going to football matches. But I know how to behave when watching football as a neutral. It's not like the rules of it are even complicated or go against standard common sense. I think there is a large amount of this that can be put down to plain old people behaving like dickheads.
Why did you disagree sfiso ? Not sure about uppier tiers, but everyone on lower tier can go where want in the lower tier. Tottenham have said you can go anywhere in GA (so probably uppier tiers) and even any entrance.GA can go in any GA concourse.
It just means they will be emailing you explaining what part of Wembley you'll be sitting in next year......Can anyone from an earlier phase elaborate on what this means:
Thank you for selecting your season ticket seat for the 2018/19 season.
Within the next 24 hours, we will contact both yourself and every season ticket holder you have secured seats for via email with further information about your new season tickets.

It'll be info about how to pay the full price of the season ticket I guessCan anyone from an earlier phase elaborate on what this means:

I think I probably did prefer the way the single tier was very much standalone in the original design, rather than curving round and blending a bit more into the sideline stands.Anybody else prefer the original designs for the ground ? not to say I don't like the final design ofcourse
Did you take any pics?Seeing the West stand from Alexandra Palace is quite a sight. You can see the detail quite clearly from 2-3 miles away (Branding will be important). It made me quite emotional. With cladding it is going to be incredible.
And the South Stand...my word...just amazing from that view. It is fucking huge. Again you can see the detail. With glass coming in, just wow.

But other than that, the new design is superior to the old one in every single way. Not least the fact we've got about 6,000 extra seats. But also the external cladding is a different class now (I already like it but it will look far better once it's all backlit), the sliding pitch adds a lot more revenue possibilities for the club, the south stand atrium and all that comes with looks incredible (got my ST in the south yesterday - can't wait for that!), and just generally the internal spec has improved dramatically.
Then again, all those things come at the cost of an extra £300m if reports are to be believed, so it should be better!!
Yes, but this website doesn't just let you upload your own pictures. I will try and get some posted tomorrow.Did you take any pics?
Has anyone here visited the site purely to see the site, like gone out of their way? rather than being local and popping by. I have my first free Saturday in ages and am thinking to go, about an 80 minute journey.
Is that really nerdy? I need reassurance it's a normal thing to do.

I’ve done it. Partly to avoid going home to the wife and kids. Partly to go to Chick King and the Antwerp Arms.Has anyone here visited the site purely to see the site, like gone out of their way? rather than being local and popping by.

My parents are popping by Tottenham on their way to Wembley tomorrow to see it. Think they wanna see what they'll be getting for their £1500 each...I would say it is obligatory, take in the sights, grab a kebab and a pint.. Perfect way to spend a free Saturday . I am lucky enough to have seen it a few times and I am amazed how it changes over even a short period of time.
