Stuart Lyon Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I did the Spurs stadium tour last Thursday and it was a fantastic experience. As I walked towards the stadium I was impressed at the presence it has in the area. The retail area is really massive and stocked full of everything from strips to plasters! It even has a small section with NFL helmets, beanies and baseball caps. The inside of the stadium was very impressive as it should be for the money it cost. One of the Hospitality areas is called the Tunnel Club (pic attached) because it has a glass wall that lets the club members see what's going on in the tunnel. I costs £30K to join and there is an annual membership fee of £19K for a minimum period of 3 years. There is a waiting list for membership! There are 2 dedicated NFL changing rooms with home one able to accommodate 75 players (there are separate areas for the coaches etc) while the away one holds only 65 players booths. Deli Ali's pre match meal is a pile of weetabix with warm milk while Sissoko has toast, butter and jam. The south stand is apparently the biggest single tier one in Europe and holds 17 thousand fans. There was only one pic that showed Dave Mackay. I spoke to the tour guide and explained I was a Hearts supporter and that DM was a hero of mine when he transferred to Spurs. He said he had got to know him at White Hart Lane and had been invited to the funeral in Edinburgh by DM's family. He produced his phone and showed me a pic of the large tribute banner that was displayed on the Tynie pitch when DM died. Well worth a visit if you are ever in London with time to spare.

Think I paid £35/£40 for Old Trafford (which was a bit of a let down if I’m being honest). Tour guide had the charisma of a dead pigeon (I was convinced it was a steward who got roped into it at the last minute). Despite the fact that I can’t stand them, I’ve heard that the Liverpool tour is the best. You can go at your own pace rather than being herded about by a mascot.

I now know that is not what you were meaning. Most modern sports stadia incorporate them into their designs, and if I remember right the idea was floated in the planning stages of the main stand. I've been in quite a few with glass frontage that have views over the pitch, and also in warmer climates that have outdoor areas adjacent. Our new stand looks great though and I'm not complaining...👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Middlesboro season ticket holder at my work was down at Spurs for their cup replay in January and he felt there was still a load of work needing done to the stadium, obviously desperate to get in as were we.

benny Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I was there yesterday. Great looking stadium but getting in was a pain and the tray to put stuff in your pockets as you walk through a scanner is a joke. Watched a lot of the game on the big screen as well as you could not make out the markings at the other end. As a viewing stadium for watching the match very poor from row 10.
