EagleJambo Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Have got tickets for my son and myself for the first competitive game next week, Spurs vs Crystal Palace (albeit in the away section) so will report back on first impressions. Looking forward to seeing the stadium close up as it looks stunning. Wasn't a fan of White Hart Lane (seats really cramped) apart from Gordon Smith's thumping volley against the bar and Harry Kane missing a pen! Will also be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like - am hoping the Palace support will out-sing them as usual but probably depends on the scoreline. Zaha to get the winner?!

Really good value - one thing I give EPL credit for when they introduced consistent ticket prices for away supporters. Has been £30 for last 3 or 4 seasons and they just confirmed this price will continue for next 2 or 3 seasons.

EagleJambo Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 So - first impressions of their new stadium: - Very impressive - both inside and out; - South Stand looks massive (we were in opposite stand) and can imagine it will create a wall of sound at big games against City in CL or Arsenal; - Barriers in front of the seats where we were so imagine they are planning for possibility of safe standing at some stage; - Decent prices for London - £4 for pint of lager and £3.50 for a pie; - Ran out of lager at HT! Palace support not impressed!; - Relatively easy to get out and away after game. Thought it might be a problem with 62,000 instead of 34,000 but was fine; - P**££"d off that Palace didn't give them more of a game. Fair few grumbles amongst Palace support now with Hodgson's tactics; and - Even more p**££"d off when I heard the Hearts score at HT and FT. Overall, interesting experience. State of the art stadium in the middle of a pretty run-down area. Heard of number of complaints from local businesses who have been there for years and feel they are being pushed out in the pursuit of corporate money. I know I'm biased, but give me Hearts and Palace where they try to work with their communities rather than against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the only club that have been complete and utter shits in terms of redevelopment are Liverpool. Basically made the streets at one part of the ground into unsellable ghettos by buying up houses at gradually cheaper prices and then boarding them up until there were a handful of people still living there that couldn't get proper money for their houses and had to accept whatever they were offered. https://www.theguardian.com/football/david-conn-inside-sport-blog/2013/may/06/anfield-liverpool-david-conn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get there will be more money and better quality available but it seems to me he's as likely to make poor signings that don't progress the club as good ones.
