If/when we make it back to the top flight, that is the kind of thing we should do with the East Stand.
I always felt that a 40,000 capacity reduced to 6,000 was a bit disappointing, as the East Terrace was such an imposing presence.
Obviously it was what we could afford at the time. (We didn't have enough money for an Emperor burger, so had to make do with a cheese burger.) Still super proud when we had a 4 sided ground again though!
I know they seem to be asking to have their first few home games played away next season as it won’t be ready in time but the way it looks right now I’d be surprised to see it ready by Christmas.
Distances from the front row to the touchline range from just 4.9 metres to 7.9 metres. The angle of the stands is set at up to 35 degrees and this, combined with the close proximity, will help connect supporters to the play.
(West Ham fans will be absolutely chuffed for their Tottenham counterparts).
It'll have zero atmosphere and crap, free gimmicky flags for fans like all new grounds.
Sadly, a bit like Wembley, these new grounds are great to look at when full but when you are sitting in your seat you think you should be sitting somewhere else in the ground because you are a bit isolated and missing out on the atmosphere. They are designed by and for fat old blokes who want to have a meal and then sit in comfort during those two short intervals between the hospitality lounge...
When my OH made me go to a Spuds match on valentine's day a few years back we saw the plans. Looked like a bike helmet. I shall be referring to it as the helmet whenever he goes when its complete.
Met a few helmets in the Bricklayers beforehand so its appropriate.

Right where the old ground was and a unique and impressive 1 tiered home end.
We'll win the premier league before they will.
Having said that, looks 100 times better than the 'London' Stadium.

Also, definitely not enough stewards, and the flags are crap.
Evenly spaced, but crap.
And why can't they have photographers behind the goal? Having two of them sitting on the touch line will surely impede the referees assistant?
