The pitch isn't up to its usual brilliant standards.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I was thinking the same question yesterday. From an earlier post there seems to be a huge amount of Premium seating and the single tier stand behind he goal seems to be where the “normal” seats will be. I am not a fan of behind the goal ( being a block 31 ST holder for so long ) I wanted the same type of view. Worried we won’t be able to pay for that !!!
I was always a 'shelf' fan and so standing / sitting along the sidelines has always been my preferred spot ....
HOWEVER
Having had the pleasure of the Dortmund 'Yellow Wall' on several occasions including v Schalke the 'Ruhr Derby' I can assure all home fans (even us old feckers) will want to be in the "Tottenham Wall" it's going to be frigging awesome ......
ochbye:
I would imagine that the cheapest seats up in the gods will be a comparable price to that. But hopefully we should get some concrete info in the next month or so - the Trust are pushing hard.
Some videos also going around, it's incredible how close the stands are to the pitch. Cant wait.
We must never refer to it as our Kop. Interestingly, or maybe not, my iPhone auto-corrects the word kop to loo, which is fair given that the Anfield version was basically a giant urinal that people stood in and the whole place stinks of shit.
They’re called Spion Kop stands. They’re named after a hill in South Africa.
Loads of clubs have had Kops, including Woolwich and Villa. It’s not a term specific to the one at Anfield.
"The Kop. No, no, no, the Tottenham one."
Fuck calling our beautiful new end that. The Park Lane End, The Bill Nicholson/Arthur Rowe/Jimmy Greaves Stand or just the South Stand, but never, ever, ever The Kop
The Wailing Wall?
If we are gonna name it after a hill, i call for "the watership down" stand. the very fact that any other football clubs have used kop is the best reason not to.
yep. the watership down stand for me.
I hope we name it after Nicholson or Greaves. Not saying we should actually call it The Kop. Just saying that it’s not incorrect to describe a steep stand like the one we’re getting as a Kop.
Park Lane end for me. Keep some links with the past. And in a few years, maybe change it to the Sir Mauricio Pochettino stand, in honour of the first manager to win three consecutive quadruples....
Park Lane 100%.
