You should go over there - stand in a tree with your camera and have a feed for us

The possibilities for ITK. DO IT!

I was thinking of canvassing opinion from Sainsbury and our Sponsors.. to get them to do it and thus sponsor such a page on the website, make it only available to members.

How do you set up a twitter account!? Do it in order to get as many Tottenham fan followers in order for people to simply follow the idea. 20k followers they would surely have to do it.. what do people think. Better than a petition.

What I would do if I could be arsed... Is offer a resident overlooking the stadium £50 a week to put a time lapse in their window, with a hard wire connection for remote pickup. Then, with the images, sell advert space and make the £50 back, and sell the images and content for a brick load of cash to syndication.

All it would take is an a4 sheet of paper on a tower block message board with an email address and terms. Weed out the loonies.

You would get £50 a day in google ads alone probably.

And if you have seen girl with the dragon tattoo. All you need is them wireless cameras and in the dead of night plant them on the North Stand, three of them.

I don't think there is a suitable high rise unless you wanna risk Ermine House which I am sure is a great place to live.

There is a relatively tall building that is ideally placed to do the time-lapse from the southern view. The owners are also the ideal people to set it up as they are the ones to gain from it.

Time-lapse recordings of building work are relatively common. Its such a simple and obvious way to get good PR and a live one would get traffic to the club website. Its almost inconceivable that the club haven't thought of the idea ... until you review the history the club website and willingness to communicate.

Can't wait to see where the meat and produce sections will go.

And get the early scoop on who the bakery girls might be. Maybe steal a recipe or two.

You'd be surprised how little Google ads make. Even with 2M page views a month this place barely covers its costs (although costs have gone up since I put some more hamsters in the server).

I think if you put naked women all over the shop we will get more than 2m a month. We can start charging users too.

What happens if you ask posters to start 'clicking' on those more often?

We get banned from Google ads and make nothing at all.

Re: New stadium and training ground thread - Pg 74 Haringey Council plans 2025

i know this has been discussed before but since we've had the go ahead to the new staduim perhaps we still have time to implement something like this perhaps.

it seems more and more grounds are up for it nowadays.

Liverpool fans will never allow it.

Can anyone PM send me a club email address I can use to get my email to the club.

Maybe something that can get past the first door would be good.

I agree, I will also add this to the email. It sure would be good to get there views on a Dortmund style stand should they go ahead with that 'kop' like feature that nearly everyone I have spoken to loves.

It would have to be a decision by the PL or FA.

Scara is right, the Liverpool fans would put up huge opposition, totally ignoring the point. No one proposes a return to old fashioned terraces, the safe standing in German grounds is a totally different arrangement. I'd also say a safe standing section is safer than standing in a seated stadium now.

I'd be interested in a review of the Taylor report, with this new evidence from hillsborough.

 

[DHSF]

Re: New stadium and training ground thread - Pg 74 Haringey Council plans 2025

I would love safe standing. It would be much easier to implement safe standing now.

Lverscum fans not happy about it are akin to people, who have lost someone in a car accident 30 years ago, not happy about the safety of cars now and oppose driving because they think the standards are the same.

What happened in Hillsbrough was not because of standing but because of other factors like overcrowding. Hell people get crushed everyday on the tubes its not because the tubes arent safe but because there is no control over overcrowding.

The Hillsborough argument is worse than your car analogy. A car is still a car, just a safer one.

Safe standing is not a return to standing on the terraces so what happened at Hillsborough has absolutely nothing to do with the safe standing debate, except as a red herring and excuse not to implement it. With safe standing you would have a ticket to an allocated space. Even if people did try and overcrowd some spaces it would be impossible to generate the same pressures that surging terrace crowds did (it would be more like your crowded tube).

One issue that ought to be raised up front is pricing. Many people think safe standing would be a return to cheap tickets. It would not. I assume the tickets would be less but the club would want to raise at least as much money from the same space. If two people occupy the space of a seat then half price would be revenue neutral, but I think the number would be more 1.5 standing/seat so price drop of a third is the maximum to be expected. And some bright spark in the finance office might observe that there is an extra demand for the standing area and decide that is a reason to charge a premium price for standing or at least justify the same price as for seats. Then the club would gain revenue and it might get more support.

Another issue is for Spurs competitive position. If we go ahead with our stadium it gives us an advantage. While safe standing would allow us to expand capacity further, it would also give other clubs (Liverpool, Everton, Villa) room for more cost effective renovation. Convert some areas to denser safe standing and other areas to less dense corporate seating. That way they can raise revenues through expanding the corporate section and keep overall capacity in the same physical stands.

It's not an excuse, its a lord justice with the wrong facts who brought the premier league into existence, fundamentally altering the national game forever. It's not a crowded tube they legislated for!

Sounds good but don't forget the limitations of the local transport infrastructure. Until we also get a tube extension to Northumberland Park I'm guessing planning permission for a significant increase is highly unlikely.
