Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Did they open the bars and catering on the other floors, or was it just the food court/marketplace thingy?
Just the marketplace I believe.
Words nor pictures can really describe how it felt. Felt literally unreal. Took a few photos and vids but nothing different from what’s been posted already. Every single person was walking around with big grins on their faces. Surprised at £5 for Beavertown, it’s not unusual to see £6 in some places in London. Seems they’ve got everything spot on. Only worrying thing was how clueless the stewards looked getting people up the stairs this morning. Not sure what the match day procedure will be? Security is super tight with detectors and scans everywhere.
Was great seeing Spurs fans once again walking up the High Road. Nice to watch Woolwich get beat in my local the Bluecoats after, too. COYS!

Don't mind paying by card, but no receipt did my head in, how else am I going to keep track of how much I spend!If i do buy anything from in there then someone else will have to get for me, as i'm a cash only man.
There were a few stalls on the 2nd tier open for pies and beers. To be clear, the South Stand has 4 levels which you can get to via stairs from the ‘outside’. It did seem odd to me that there didn’t seem to be many food/drink outlets on the 2nd or 3rd level, most of it was all on the first level in the market place.
It was fairly busy today, with 13/14k more people it’ll be rammed. Although there are many places in that level to stand throughout the whole length of the stand.
Exactly. I never did get a receipt for my pie. No receipt, no calories is my motto.
Yeah, it was. All those airport style detectors all round the entrances will be there every day and do take some time to get through. You are supposed to be able to go through unimpeded with phones and keys in your pocket but I was stopped and separately searched entering both the stadium and the shop as my keys and phone set it off both times. Clever machines too, as when I went through, there was no buzzer or anything but the chap stopped me and said “you have some metal in your left coat pocket, please empty it.”
Behave - NN was the perfect gentleman!
Using Viva La Vida as a song just goes to show how good the acoustics are in the new stadium. That would sound like absolute shit at Wembley.
I went through with keys, phone and wallet without any problems. Just a bit disappointed they didn't question me about my Black Amex card.
Nice one Levy,All of the pics of the stadium ‘bowl’ posted here are fantastic. And yet none of them really convey the size, gorgeousness and how generally incredible it actually is, IMO.
Phenomenal. Stunning.
Nice one, Mr Levy.
nice one son.
Nice one Levy,
Now fucking sign someone.
Blatant I breached security post
In all seriousness, knew someone with a black once. She was second card holder on her dad's card (someone who grew up with Lord Sugar, so clearly that part of East London had something in the water) . She said she had limits and had to get pre-approval for a certain level of purchase. When I asked the level she said "like if I wanted to buy a house..."
:hugoshock:
Back row...
Absolutely astonishing. That's going to feel so intimidating on Derby day. Top class!
:walkercry:
sorry Mrs P
I'm struggling to find the words to describe today. Was there for the 11am slot, but as they didn't ask us to leave, I stayed put until the very end. I was expecting to feel excited, but the emotion just got the better of me at the first sight of the pitch and seats. Yes I've seen endless pictures and videos, but they really don't prepare you for the sheer magnitude of the build. The weird thing was, it still felt like WHL but with a very expensive make-over.

and I walked from top to bottom of the stand and there didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house.
The interviews with Martin Chivers, Graham Roberts, Gary Mabbutt and Mark Falco were great, they really feel it, especially Mark Falco as he was a Spurs supporter as a boy. The others have evolved into "Spurs" - Robbo made us all laugh, when he said Woolwich were celebrating their unbeaten run (before today of course
), but they were still f***** behind us.
Went to the shop afterwards, where a big cheer went up when the Woolwich result was announced. Icing on the cake.
I feel very lucky and privileged that I managed to get in today, it really was the best of days.
Eiffel Tower, Coliseum, Sydney Opera House, Great Wall of China, Empire State Building, Taj Mahal, The Pyramids, Tower of London - eat your hearts out - there's a new kid on the block - best building on earth!
