Spurs’ new stadium

Looks brilliant, nice to see that in a very non-wembley move, the front rows are close to the pitch and not 50 yards away.
 
Looks awesome. The one thing I am jealous of Spurs over. The club have done their best with our ground but it is a dump from the outside and illogical inside with too much family stand seating, poor placement of away fans. Let us hope when the north stand happens we can tick off some of those issues. Whilst it will not be a single tier, a large two tier stand with safe standing would still be epic.

It should have been a lot better given that it cost half a billion quid to build.

Compare the facade of the Allianz Arena with the facade of Spurs new stadium.

One is a groundbreaking piece of architecture, the other is a giant carbuncle.

well thats cr*p - the allianz is out in a wasteland surround by motorways and railways where you can get away with anything, even a rubbish big set of lights that glow red for bayern and blue for 1860 - spurs are in the city and will be under much tougher planning regs
 
A couple of observations on the the alleged single tier wall - apart from two blocks... it ISN'T a single tier. There's the disab blocks mostly slicing through the wall one third up, which basically turn it back into two tiers. Also there's the standard embarrassing corner dips at the top at either side because the stadium wall is too curved there (Arsenal have this problem all around their stadium) - shame because it reduces the impact of the 'wall'
 
If I was Daniel Levy I'd find a way to delay this until next season now, might give them a better chance of keeping hold of Pochettino who supposedly wants to see them into it.
 
Whats the transport in that area like. From memory i remember going to an away at WHL many years ago and we waited ages at the nearest tube station. Have they done anything to address that? Plus had a look on google images and there is very little space around the ground in terms of walkways. We are very fortunate at the Etihad in that regard.

Transport is shite. Similar to ours, in all honesty. Nearest station is an overground (White Hart Lane) that can take you to Cheshunt or Enfield in the north and Liverpool St to the south. Sometimes they use short trains and they are not as regular as you would hope. As bad as the tram service that serves our ground.

Alternatives are walks to Northumberland Park overground (15 mins), Seven Sisters (30 mins) or, if you fancy the scenic route, down Lordship Lane to Wood Green (35 mins).

Looking at the CPZ that will be put in south Enfield, and the current CPZ on the Haringey side, parking will be a pain in the arse.

To be fair, you cannot expect any better transport links as there is sweet FA to visit in the area.
 
would be funny if man united take there manager and players before the new stadium is open hahahahahhaah

When i grew up everyone was a glory hunting Liverpool fan, then it turned to United. I dont have any sympathy for their fans who had it so good. Just like Arsenal fans crying on Arsenal TV as if they have a right to be amongst the best. Spurs have only won two league cups in 27 years, half of them would have jumped ship years ago!!!

No shit Sherlock.

That doesn't mean that they can't come up with something more attractive than grey steel shutters on the facade though.

Herzog and de Meuron's stadium design for Chelsea is necessitated by the very limited space and serious issues with right to light at Stamford Bridge.

The cladding isn't dictated by by either of those things though.

It's more about aesthetics and creating something sympathetic to the surrounding environment.

So what?

To suggest that this is embarrassing is... well... a bit silly.
 
Hi - JPBB.

You truly are a loyal Spurs fan and fight your corner amongst us Blues without resorting to rudeness, well done.

By the way I really like your new stadium it looks the dogs bollocks and I hope you have some great times there apart from when we pay you a visit.

Still think Levy could have won some much needed friends by compensating City fans for that farce of a re-arranged match on a mud heap, you must have some sympathy with us over that PR disaster?

What you mean, of course, is that YOU don't like the look of the new WHL. And that's fine. Each to their own. But don't be under the misapprehension that you are expressing anything other than a personal opinion. You are not stating fact.

You scornfully dismiss the veil as "grey steel shutters" yet laud the white plastic panels that cover the Allianz. Your prerogative entirely. But there is nothing inherently more aesthetically pleasing about the one than the other. It is in the eye of the beholder. That is all.

Personally, I prefer the use of different materials to create dynamic, flowing forms on the exterior of the new WHL to the blanket coverage of white PTFE on the Allianz but that doesn't make me right either.
 
It looks to me like this will easily be the best away ground in the country. Can’t wait to go there next season if it’s ready.

For a club that has only ever been league champions twice in their entire history (the most recent being nearly 60 years ago) they have done well for themselves.
