Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

lurker of old said:
You just have to say a massive well done to the Chairman for his vision in taking the risk to develop a multi-use stadium. Let's hope we prove all the naysayers wrong and see the payback in a sustained effort to get the team back into contention for the very top.

That's a good point I haven't seen discussed before. It could've quite easily fallen on it's arse without the dedication he's put into it.
 
Does any one know if one of the NFL teams rents the training complex too, when over here? Wouldn't put it past El-Lev. Maybe why we're developing more space at the complex. Could probably add another million to the revenue from the games. Anyone guess what that might be? 2m profit a game or more? It all adds up and helps.

And longer-term, with more oil-doped clubs, PL fair play will have to be more robust for the league to have competitive integrity. As that happens, genuine revenue will become the only way to gauge fair spend. Might see the likes of 'castle buying up pubs, clubs, sports leisure facilities etc etc.

Nice idea, but I won't believe it until I see it. Actually, no, I won't believe it until one of the financially doped clubs actually gets sanctioned.

Is our stadium winning awards just because it's one of the few mega-scale construction projects of its type in recent years?

Or is it genuinely amazing? Well, yes, we all know it is, but is it truly world class to the point where it transcends the niche world of football stadia?

I mean, is it just normal for mahoosive new stadiums to get showered with awards in the years after their construction, but for us lot not to notice because it's nothing to do with Spurs? Did the Emirates rack up award after award, for example?

It's simple enough.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Good description.
However, you missed a VERY important event.

" Before the game starts, the two opposing captains go out.
They toss a coin and decide who goes out and who goes in.
Hows-that

Hockey was invented in Montreal by British soldiers. So whilst it's birthplace is Canada you can see the sports roots are British. I like hockey a lot but it's still too bloody hard to see the puck go in.

I'm a lover of American football. Been into it from the 80's. It amazes me when people moan about the lack of action but can watch 1 day cricket or test cricket. They have way longer gaps.

American football is like chess, mixed with tactical matchups, mixed with wrestling. I love the matchups And the physicality of it all. Sadly though my NFL team is like Spurs. They haven't won the big one since the 60's.

I now have the honor of watching three things I support lose in my stadium. Spurs, AJ, now the Jets. Just need Saracens to come and lose as well to pile on.

A good story of my experience in the US.!!!
When I first went to university in the US in 1968, aged 18, and on a full scholarship, the uni sent me a LOT of very important info on what to expect, housing , food, sports etc.
They mentioned that they had teams for basketball, football ( not soccer ), baseball, tennis, table tennis AND hockey.
I was "very" good at table tennis and hockey and cricket.

Therefore, I packed my favorite table tennis and hockey kits in my luggage.
Table tennis was fine.
However, when the "hockey" season started in winter, I was a bit apprehensive.
I could not understand how we are going to play in winter.
So, I arrived at the stadium and could see that it was an enclosed pitch.
Once inside, I was shocked to see the pitch.
It was ice, not grass. I had traveled with my field hockey stick !!!
Therefore, that was the end of my US hockey ambitions.
On a positive note, I did find some places to play field hockey AND cricket.
IT WAS FUN>

How does this work for season ticket holders who effectively lose their expensive seat?

I understand it's still one person per seat-space, so no one loses their 'seat' as such. And STs were sold with that area being a potential for safe standing, so anyone buying a ST there would have known it might eventually be standing area (and, I'd imagine, wanted that to be the case)

I take it you mean anyone who took a seat in an area forward-fitted for standing.

Any caveat emptor points to one side. I would imagine someone who doesn't wish to stand will have any opportunity to exchange for a seating only area. Others will be up for a standing 'seat', so it comes down to choice.

Exactly the sort of issue the Club will be addressing later on.
