Spurs’ new stadium

I managed to blag corporate tickets behind our fans. Great looking stadium and the noise was really good when it got going. I had some handy parking 10 mins away but it looked like organised chaos heading back into central London. Can see there being problems at tastier fixtures against Arsenal, West Ham or Chelsea given the modest segregation between corporate and away fans around the corner - high wall and glass screen that wouldn't stop a determined thug. Corporate lounge had a feel of NFL about but very nice - felt quite crowded though and staff didn't really know what they were doing.

Head hit the pillow in Warrington at 2.45am. Thanks to the knobs who decided to reduce the Nth Circular down to 1 lane from 3 for roadworks and a well timed closure of the M6 meant for a detour towards Tamworth.
 
I wish we had a giant single tier’d stand like theirs but along the side like we used to have at
Maine Road.

A new Kippax along the East Stand.

City culture and all that.

It’d be the main thing you’d see on the tv cameras airing our games n’all.

I can dream on...

We were in block 117 on row 6 and could not see the corner flag to our left, piss poor in a new ground.

We were on row 20 in 117 and the view along the near touchline wasn't great.
We parked at Cheshunt and got train to Northumberland Park. We'd heard it was hammered after the game last week so we walked to Tottenham Hale after the game (about 25 minutes) and got first train. - Not a great walk when surrounded by giddy twats.
Then the M25 was closed, the M25/M1 northbound junction was closed, the M6 was closed at Coventry and the M1 also had a closure. Eventually went round the M1 detour and over Woodhead as we had a drop-off in Ashton. Got home at 4-15.
 
The single tiered stand behind the goal was impressive. The rest of the ground to me resembled a baseball stadium: the lower tier didn't have that many rows in and the gradient was quite shallow. (Some people who were in the lower rows along the side on our coach said they couldn't see when the ball was down the other end and ended up watching on the big screen). There were 2 middle tiers of corporate and then a larger upper tier. To me if you are spending £1bn on a football stadium you'd want 4 steep stands close to the pitch (like Dortmund's) not just 1 . It's apparent the stadium isn't just for football but maybe the NFL has had too much influence. With a more substantial lower tier, the stadium could easily have a capacity of 70k+

Going through the security arch metal detectors worked quite well when we went in and they had space for them, although apparently they were used inconsistently with people who entered earlier on our coach having to remove coins, keys etc.

The concourse inside reminded me of a cinema and there wasn't that much space. Having card only outlets for food and drink caught me out. It was railed seating in the away section which showed some foresight

We ventured onto Tottenham High Road before the game and it was remarkable how many people were flooding down it, presumably many of them from Seven Sisters. The road was blocked off to traffic for about 500 yards but transport links aren't good there
 
The fuckin clown who ran on pitch near end of game last night.. 2 games into your brand new stadium & you’ve got a lifetime ban?? well played eh :)

We went on the M40 back after the M1 north exit closed on the M25 started flashing.
Ridiculois tgat nearly all lanes on every rpute north was closed.
Never left enfield till 11:30 after waiting 35 mins on WHL station for train, got home 3:15

We were going to park at Enfield but my mate works on the railways and he noticed there were more trains to Cheshunt after the game. We got to Cheshunt at 11-00.
You might have done better walking to Seven Sisters to avoid queues but the High Road was Twat City, Arizona after the game.
