Yeah, Vedder started losing his voice in Ireland and barely made it through their Manchester gig. Just one of those things, sadly.
That's our transfer budget slashed in half
Blimey, the Tottenham related injury list has now started to stretch BEYOND just the players....

Like the universe bro.
One of the issues is that loud fans tend to gravitate towards cheaper areas (as they often have ST).
As a result there are pockets in both the rear corners of the south stand where songs get going but often clash. Then there's the prawn sandwich seats in the middle of the South where you're lucky if they even stand up
I sit in the east upper near the south.
I can hear noise but often have NFI what they're signing there. Even worse if anything in the west or north starts.

The fact they even have to ask questions on HOW to generate an atmosphere tells you what's wrong!
They have no clue...
The Club1882 right slap bang in the middle of the south stand is WHERE the singing section should be... That way, it can start from the middle and permeate outwards in all directions....
Like having midfield general in the middle of the park to dictate play... It's LITERALLY a football analogy!
Also, and this may orsu not go down well, but seeing as they have a Family section, and a disabled area, I GENUINELY think they should have a designated Tourist area for fans who still want to witness and attend a game, but who would rather have a vantage point higher up....
This serves two purposes; a) it gets a lot of fans who don't know chants, (or tend not to join in) out of the way of those who DO want to sing and create atmosphere... But it would also allow them the perfect vantage point high up to take all their photos and selfies!
BTW, I'm not including 'Foreign Spurs fans' ...some of the most passionate, fervent Spurs fans I've ever met come from Europe, Scandinavia etc... and to be fair, even some of the Sonny fans join in occasionally!!
I'm talking about the one off day tripper who is in London for the weekend, but couldn't get a ticket to the Pink Concert, so decided to take in a Premeeeer game instead! (We all know the type!)

Good idea. Whack a couple of Beefeaters, Horse Guards and Madam Tussauds waxworks (England's midfield?) in there and make it a one stop shop.
Pizza and popcorn vendors and a half and half scarf stall and you are sorted.
Would be pretty amusing if his name wasn't Gary Numan I guess.Gary Newman is older than Gary Oldman
That's what I putWould be pretty amusing if his name wasn't Gary Numan I guess.
I sit there too and I had that same problem. Got some hearing aids and all good now. Fuck me I was hard of hearing .
Still can’t hear anything from the west or north though. Has anything ever started there?
I've got good hearing and can't hear it. I could have saved you some money and said "it ain't you, it's the stadium"I sit there too and I had that same problem. Got some hearing aids and all good now. Fuck me I was hard of hearing .

TBH I couldn't hear my TV either. The neighbours probably could though and they're about 20m away.I've got good hearing and can't hear it. I could have saved you some money and said "it ain't you, it's the stadium"
Actually, THAT should be the criteria...
Anyone seen entering the ground with a Half & Half scarf should immediately be escorted up to somewhere remote on level 5...
There, they can get the best vantage point for all their photos and selfies, without bothering the rest of us!!
Do NOT pass "GO!" do NOT collect £200...
I think that’s a great idea personally. No chance of it happening though I’m afraid.
The Planning Application to increase the number of stadium events will go before the Planning Committee meeting on Thursday 1st August with a recommendation to Approve.
https://www.minutes.haringey.gov.uk...ug-2024 19.00 Planning Sub Committee.pdf?T=10
Overview of Application
This planning application now proposes amendments seek to increase the total number of Major Non Association Football Events (more than 10,000 people) from 16 (the cap granted for stadium build) to 30 and for the cap on music events to be removed entirely. Additional caps would be introduced to the total number of boxing events (2), consecutive events in a row (4) and number of events in a week (5), with a further cap on the frequency of 5 events in a week would also be capped at 2 for the year.
Effect on Residents local to the Stadium
The increase of events is anticipated to have significant socio-economic benefits, including a total GVA contribution of £344m in the tri-borough area in 2021/22, consisting of both onsite and offsite activity which, after careful consideration and rigorous consultation with key stakeholders is considered to outweigh the potential harm caused through disruption to the local community.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee authorise the Head of Development Management or the Assistant Director of Planning, Building Standards & Sustainability to GRANT planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out below and the completion of an agreement satisfactory to the Head of Development Management or the Assistant Director of Planning, Building Standards & Sustainability securing the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms below following referral to the Mayor of London
NB. There is new/amended s106 agreement to give funds to local community
The full application can be accessed on the link above
Stadium events are a major driver of revenues and profits through rentals to organisers, food and drink sales, a share of merchandise etc.
Equally these events promote the stadium name, Tottenham Hotspur stadium, to promote brand recognition, and in turn this will drive the value of sponsorships etc.
So if granted, this will increase the 'pot' available for player transfers, youth footballer development etc
