That Sky Bar would be a smashing place to be drunk in, when it starts swaying from the winds!

At least you’d find the answer. 😀

Saw them at Glastonbury. Admittedly I was unbelievably hungover but I thought they were a real disappointment then. Can only imagine they’re worse now a decade or so later.

I’m not so sure, there’s just about some life left in them yet. Should at least help with our injuries. With Mick, we could Start Him Up front and Keith should give satisfaction playing a high line.
 
I did a survey after the Leicester game, their mistake was having an 'other' box on some questions. The problem with the atmosphere in the stadium is what's served up on the pitch. We've had some fantastic games at the stadium where it was electric. And I think the trumpeter is a great way to start. I also mentioned that the number of tourists don't help and I don't care about the wifi in the bowl as I'm actually watching the game
I doubt I'll hear any more or even make the draw for a signed item, as I was pretty critical.
PS Admin Admin - can we change the title please, hardly the new stadium five years on.
 
Not sure why anyone would want a return to a stadium the size of old WHL, yes Bournemouth are doing well with a tiny stadium but will it last.
Where I sit , I see the same ST's every game and everyone of them loves the stadium and our view of the game from the upper tier.
Yes we should be paying more in wages to compete with the Chelsea's and Woolwich but just as a comparison in the last season at WHL the wage bill for the whole club was £126.9 million , according to the recent Deloitte figures it is now circa £220 million, so decent increase but more needed.

Anyone wish we were still at the old stadium ?

Realise it’s a bit tragic to quote oneself but below are my feelings. It used to feel like our place - the fans’ home. Now it feels very much like I’m a customer of their place. Can’t put it more simply than that.

Running out of energy to post anything really. But here goes…

It’s really sad what’s happened to this club. I remember going to WHL and it feeling like our place. The fans’ home. The owners had their part of the West Stand to play the whole corporate thing. But the ground was ours. The feeling when you arrived around the Shelf, PL, Paxton… it was truly home. In fact, I was always happy and comfortable around WHL. My stadium. My people.

Now it’s such a horrible, foreign, plastic consumer experience. You’re treated like a shitty customer from the moment when you reach the perimeter. Charged despicable money to enter what is now simply a grotesque corporate entertainment hub. No value put on us. Hordes of horrible high vis vermin shouting and directing ‘fans’. Thousands of tourists, neutrals… It’s just deeply unpleasant. I hate how ENIC have taken over and destroyed the club. It doesn’t exist. A home of mine has been totally killed off.

It’s still beautiful to find genuine Spurs fans still around. But we’re dying out amongst the plastic masses. And we mean nothing, literally nothing to our administrative leaders. And the most disturbing thing is that the value they’ve built out of repurposing our club is worth more than ever. It’s totally sick.
