Who's winning?
We don’t win trophies but we’re still everyone’s obsession.
Still a famous old club, still class, still proper, still paying for it all on our own, still progressing.
Some fans want to win the PL title simply because Spurs haven’t. Says it all.
Been sniffing about and seen a bunch of these sites this morning... Beggars belief how it's tolerated from a club/league perspective. Can't tell me the game doesn't hold enough clout to shut this kind of shit down.
They are probably selling tickets they do not have, either conning you and taking your cash or later refunding you when they cant get them.Yep, but how will they get in the game without the Stadium Access card ? Complete piss take.
Although, When I spoke to the ticket office as I thought I had lost my card, they said they would send an e-ticket to print out. They were very specific though, i WOULD have to take photo ID. So, hopefully, anyone buying those tickets and rocking up will be refused entry.

I very much doubt there are loads of tickets for resellers for this one.
Voted to put me in the bin ?
Looks to me like you are promoting a rip off ticket site that probably isnt even legit. Assumed you were a spam account
Is it Huddersfield vs spurs though?Pssst... ‘ere.... Anyone wanna buy a ticket to the Huddersfield game....
Is this the only stadium in the league with a completely flat pitch?
If so, huge home advantage.
I'd call it more of a plateau, once you've climbed up to the corner flagsIs this the only stadium in the league with a completely flat pitch?

Is ours flat because it's on the trays.....where as the others that are static need to be sloped at the edges so water runs off?
The original £400m loan has a five year term expiring in April 2022. The club subsequently borrowedNot getting on with the usual 9-5 due to the hard on lag from yesterday's stadium opening. 2 tables I think are really fascinating about the clubs finances over the last decade that shows where we will be for the next 10-15 years and then the step the club takes thereafter:
Since 2008 & up to 2017 the club spent £493m on CAPEX. £148m was taken in loans so £345m of that spent across 10 years is from our own profits.
If numbers are correct that equates to £34.5m on average each season profit wise has been spent on builds, pretty much wiping out any gate receipts we'd make per season (we are rumoured to make c£40m or so or at least were when at WHL).
The new stadium is expected to make £100m but we need to pay of £45m-£50m per season. This instantly gives us £50m-£55m based on matchday revenue than we have seen for 10 years if we go based on averages for CAPEX spent without the help of external loans.
We do that for 10-15 years, whatever it is and then we get another kick of £45m-£50m when the loans have been repaid.
Basically we have in theory broke even on matchday revenue for 10 years, are about to get a further £50m based on matchday revenue per year after loan debts are paid and then in 10-15 years that revenue will top £100m from where the club is at present.
If the numbers are right and I haven't fucked up somewhere it would seem most of the financial pain has already been endured and that the club are about to gain a further £50m or so each season for 10 years, followed by phase 3 which will add yet another £50m on to the money it brings in as debts will be no more. Anyone make sense of what I'm reading into or does it all sound like bollocks?
