Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

GinolaGinolaGinola said:
This is it, do you want to be at the top of that monster, in the middle, or at the bottom? I am so looking forward to sitting there (should we get a seat there which I'm sure we will). Also, the away fans will be in the North tier, which was the family stand. Bad move from Spurs there? I thought it would make sense to have the 17,000 hardcore fans next to the away fans. Probably a safety thing haha!

As long as the Goons get their regular warm welcome when they show their ugly mugs outside before the game....all will be good.

Was anyone else expecting one tier stand behind the goal to be slightly bigger? Sure it will look amazing when finished but doesn't look as imposing as I was expecting it to. How does it compare to say the kop stands are Dortmund and Anfield?

Encouraging news from Levy last week pretty much confirming the stadium build will be on time.

I've always thought this. By virtue of being one bank with no steps in it i'm not sure the height at the top can be as high as the west and east stands, so rather than looking dark and cavernous, it actually looks a bit dwarfed (relatively speaking) by the east and west upper tiers and also has quite a bit of glass/cladding at the rear on show as the corners curve down. It will be impressive and a real 'home end' but not a monster imo.

My feelings too. I hope the reality is different

I think that once you see the completed stand in the surroundings of the new stadium and not just incomplete with slightly distorted camera angles, your fears will be allayed.

The stand itself is deeper than the opposite end though isn't it (?), so it'll still achieve the same height I would assume.

Once it's got 17k yiddos in it, including GGG in the middle (probably disgracing himself), I think it'll be extremely impressive.
 
This weekend here in Great Again USA there was lots of press coverage about overseas fixtures for the NFL and it was with great pride I saw 'Tottenham' up on many screens. Hopefully that will increase our US fanbase and more importantly the club bank account so we can pay our top, top, triffic players what they need to stay.
 
I would like the single tier stand to be a bit steeper but I guess this way we can get more rows of seats in.
 
Does anyone remember the mockups of WHL with a third tier on top that were doing the rounds on various forums a few years ago? If that had been possible, that would have been what I wanted. But our new place will be pretty special too.
