New Stadium

[Airfixx]

Thank you. Was hoping that would be the case. I hope we do the same.

Haha I’m hoping we will win both . Part make up for the disgusting shambles of a season we have had.

Fingers crossed see you next season

Any chance you can sack that fat cunt of a manger now you're safe?

That would be SO much banter!

Levy won't be happy!!

Dublin will now stage the showpiece events of the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup next year on May 19 and May 20 respectively.

Tournament organisers have acted due to complications caused by the Premier League finishing later than usual because of the 2022 football World Cup, as well as the 2023 Rugby World Cup altering the sport's European calendar.

Not sure why there is a cross party parliamentary committee, .......... but there is one.

Is the pitch long enough for a decent rugby union in goal area? I remember seeing a Wasps match at QPR 20 odd years ago and it seemed VERY shallow. Maybe the length of the possible pitch area at WHL because of the massive stands means it's OK.

If it's good at WHL for Union I'd defo be up for a match there. Shame about the above.

Should be able to fit it in, the length of the football pitch at the new ground is 105m. But the rugby will most probably be played on the astro pitch underneath that (Saracens play on an astro pitch at copthall). The length of a rugby union pitch is 100m with a minimum of 3m total of in goal area. Some extra space should be gained from losing the run off areas behind the goals and the slope away from the pitch.

National anthem sung up by the golden cockerel - not many stadia can stage that!

Which pitch is it being played on?

 

[stevee]

Which pitch is it being played on?

The grass one.

Fuck knows why ?

 

[Mrs Perryman]

Which pitch is it being played on?

The grass one, suppose it doesn't matter as it's the end of the season?

 

[Mrs Perryman]

As the rugby players aren't as geared up as the Americans, assuming grass doesn't cause burns like an artificial pitch.

I'm sure someone has made this point already re. naming rights - but is it worth the club keeping it as the Tottenham Hotspur stadium? Must boost the profile/brand of the club getting name dropped to millions of people who watch big fights, NFL etc.

 

[BernardMatthews]

Which pitch is it being played on?

I think logistics must play a part, can imagine the massive ballache to change the pitch around isn’t worth it. Just paint new lines. Job done.

It also changes the sight lines and where the teams are.
If you think NFL teams either side of the pitch and the dugout area is above the pitch. Also think the NFL pitch is nowhere near as wide.

I imagine they will be relaying the pitch over the summer anyway.

Yes - its a trade off as to which enhances Spurs image worldwide with 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being named on tv for NFL, other sports such as boxing and concerts versus getting a naming rights deal with £'s paid every year (lets say £25m pa).

So I'm sure Levy made that calculation when turning down some offers (pre covid) which he thought didn't value the deal highly enough.

I think there is a magic minimum number when Levy says 'Thanks I'll take that £x million pa for y years' but no idea what that is. But the more events each year there are at the stadium plus CL the higher sponsors will be likely to bid.

I believe that was the intention all along. It is fantastic brand advertising.
