At a guess...? A capacity maximum was maybe set by the council? No point squeezing 80,000 in if the local infrastructure can't cope with it.

It had trouble coping with 36,000 so I've no idea what's going to happen with 62,000. I assume that the no parking zone has been extended to the A406?
Think those are just the modern standards for stadiums - it does make the fact that stadiums like Selhurst Park are still okay to be Premier League grounds ridiculous though.
Does anyone have a decent guess when mere mortal non ST holders will be able to buy tickets for the league?
I wanna get down early on in the season for a match but it's been a while since I visited the Lane so no idea how hard it used to be to get general release tickets, and obviously double that now it's a new ground.

Strange as the seats at the Emirates and West Ham's gaff definitely don't seem to be as spacious as our ones. 100% agree regarding Selhurst

They're running that HP/Spurs stadium advert during Maid in Manhattan on channel 5 - so I'd say they're casting the net pretty wide with this one, and will likely escalate as the opening gets closer.
Yes, I'm watching Maid in Manhattan.
You'll most likely need the paid membership. Might be worth going to cup games on general sale
We're going home, we're going home, Tottenham's going home.
Nah man, no judgement here. Good movie that is.They're running that HP/Spurs stadium advert during Maid in Manhattan on channel 5 - so I'd say they're casting the net pretty wide with this one, and will likely escalate as the opening gets closer.

Has there been any word on whether being a ST holder gives you any priority to buy NFL tickets?
That'll be a no. Early September the NFL tickets come on sale for NWHL game and the first window is available for NFL Wembley season ticket holders to purchase.
The HP Pavilion at White Hart Lane?
Watched the England game in the Antwerp on Sat. There were four sparkies in their who are working on the stadium. Two Scots, One Geordie and a local lad from Edmonton who is a spurs fan. They reckon it will be ready on time. They also stressed that the inside of the stadium is amazing and that it was very futuristic. They also said the retractable pick is epic. Positive signs.
i thought they were just fitting out the IT?
Got a feeling it’d be something much bigger, although tbf, HP is a pretty fucking big company. Who knows.
Wasn’t their a story about the Crossrail being delayed because we had used so many of the sparkies for our place.
Have they started ripping out those 15,000 seats yet?
A couple of days ago you could see them removing some seats from the east stand (NE corner), but those have all been replaced.
Also: I heard that 15,000 we’re wrongly produced, but that not all of them had been installed yet, so this issue could be easily fixed already
Good question!
