I need to go to WHL at least once before it gets knocked down
Not up for parole until 2018?What's stopping you?
The Atlantic OceanWhat's stopping you?
Elaborate please. What does this mean. We move out this summer ? I can't see ENIC operating at reduced capacity for a season either. No one else reporting anything significant as of yet...All the talk now is that the Lane may be partially demolished this summer to speed up construction of the new stadium.

True. Anyone who isn't Belgian has no right to set foot in the place or even support this team.If it is indeed true, then I'm sure Joe Clash will just absolutely love the stampede of yanks and other assorted foreign fans to WHL before it's too late
Joe loves me. :dierpochhug: Joe ClashIf it is indeed true, then I'm sure Joe Clash will just absolutely love the stampede of yanks and other assorted foreign fans to WHL before it's too late
Hmm, I think I'll leave it to you to repost anything interesting from there... I had a look and gave up within about a minute - far too much talk about piling caps, reusable columns, beam shuttering, sheet piling, soil conditions, roof trusses etc for my liking!I use this site for anything stadium related...
LONDON - New White Hart Lane (61,461) - SkyscraperCity
It's pretty much all they have been talking about the past few weeks.

One of my gripes with football tourists and probably some younger fans in general, is the constant need to have the bloody I phone at the ready.
Team scores a goal and rather than celebrate it, they just stand there recording it!!! It looks embarrassing and I question why are they doing this? Probably for brownie points so they show off in the online world......quite pathetic.
Someone who asks which ground to visit for good atmosphere is a football tourist. A Spurs supporter who feels compelled to make a trip across the globe to attend a match at WHL before it is torn down forever is not a football tourist.I obviously said it very much tongue in cheek. Even as a Danish, I totally get where Joe is coming from. I won't claim to be more or less of a fan than anyone else, but despite my non-English origin, I understand the history, know the songs, and will sing with the best of them. I've been 50+ over my 20something years as a fan, and I too feel the atmosphere getting worse (or at least less intense) in recent years.
On a non-football forum, a bloke was asking for advice on where to take his dad to a match of football to get the best atmosphere. Loads of responses where talking and complaining about the atmosphere not being that good anymore because of tourists. Those answers to a question of where to go as a football tourist deserves a fucking spot under irony in the dictionary.
Yeah, they get excited by stuff like this...Hmm, I think I'll leave it to you to repost anything interesting from there...
