Pints filling from the bottom of the glass rather than the top. In saying that it looks amazing, it also looks completely soulless. It is like some kind of fancy shopping mall you would see in Dubai or the likes. Hutton2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,688 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah. Okay on the outside. Bit meh. The inside looks tremendous though. Most parts look no expense spared, a few not so much. Dunno about value for money at a billion, even given some of the Gucci kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, looks like it could be okay from this:- Looks like the glasses are fairly solid though, so doubt it is that 0.5mm thick bendy plastic. Think it is more re-usable type glasses. born a blue nose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 17,065 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Looks like an impressive bit of building work, whether it turns out to have a soul remains to be seen. Suppose it’s down to the atmosphere the fans manage to create, that single tier end should help if the right kind of punters are located in it. Always thought of the Spurs support as more down to earth working class guys than the Nick Hornby “footie” types who seem to be the typical Arsenal fan these days.

born a blue nose 91,119 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 They have designed it with sound and atmosphere in mind. Pitty it's going to be filled with spurs fans signing that monotone pish they sing.

Yeah, West Ham is the worst recent case of modern football sucking the soul from the game. Don't get me wrong, I like Spurs' new stadium, but give me White Heart Lane or The Boleyn any day. If the OP poll was WHL/TB v the two new grounds, the former would get my vote. ForeverAndEver and Tiger Shaw 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think losing all these smaller, older stadiums where the fans are right on top of the pitch is tragic tbh especially when they are all being replaced with bigger lifeless stadiums filled with tourists.
