Spurs’ new stadium

[Big Chap]

Glitch with the system?

Apparently there were 79 tickets available when they went on sale this morning.

Yeah was on at 9.00am on the dot and must just have got one of the few that were left. Went to sold literally a minute or two later.

Why open it to all season cards at 9am and then Cityzens at 3pm if there was only 79 tickets left? Surely it should have went to 5000 points or more?

As a side note it doesn't say sold out on the official site yet and the press release does say that the club received an initial allocation, perhaps they are getting more from spurs?

I don't think so , probabilly there were not too many left ... I managed to buy one at 09:00 , only block 118 was shown as availible .

Ach well, means I don't need to be sitting at my laptop at 3pm now. Tv for me.

No, I was saying there ought to be. But I don't think there is. Remember the clasicos back in 2011 between Barcelona and Madrid? The latter didn't cut or water the grass and deliberately created an unplayable pitch so as to upset Barcelona's passing game. Milan did something similar at the San Siro 2 years later, After Which Arsene Wenger issued a complaint to UEFA.

Pitches should be playable. Length of grass, dryness etc should all be standardized. It's 2018. Seeing a pitch like the one at Wembley the other day was odd and disappointing.

The only things that have a standard regarding pitches are the sizes and amount of plastic, only allowed 5% plastic I think.

I thought it was up to the referee to decide if the pitch was playable?

I was at the NFL last night. Looked OK apart from the middle of the pitch which was a mess.

 

[Mr.Feeny]

Have you been asleep for the last few months? That's the reason we are playing on the Monday night, The NFL games have been booked for months to be played there.
In fact, that's the whole reason for the thread, as the Spurs ground is not ready.

Either that, or you are a WUM.

No clue what you're talking about. Odd rant.

That's interesting. Do you have a link?
I read that in 2012 or 2013 they started to standardize the sizes. Before that, the ranges were greater. The Camp Nou, for example, was wider during Pep's time there than it was later on.

But pitches are not standard. Max and minimum but not the same.
New grounds have different stipulations, some of the old grounds have small pitches.
