    Anyone complaining about how quiet our tannoy is should have to sit in front of the speakers at Tottenham Stadium for 2 hours whilst they play their stupid Nike Football adverts
    What?

    The Tannoy in the Alan Curbishley stand is almost inaudible.
    I would suggest they put subtitles on the big screen.

    Problem is there’s large chunks of the AC stand where it’s hard to see the big screen

    The idea of a tannoy system is being able to hear what is said. In the Covered End Upper this does not happen

    Sitting in the west stand today I spotted the hospitality changes beside the directors box. The stairs have been widened and barriers placed down the middle to create a seating area with access through a separate door from the 1905 lounge. Not being used for that purpose today.

    Have they taken seats out to widen the stairway?

    Back on the subject of pitches I learnt the other day that Spurs replace theirs every season at the cost of £1M. The whole pitch is moveable (to allow for concerts, boxing etc). They grow two new pitches each season at different sites in Lincolnshire (in case one fails) then just bring in one of them about 3 weeks before season starts. It’s grass on a plastic mat laid on sand on concrete. No wonder it’s an injury risk.

    Can we claim for the injuries?

    Does that mean we’ve lost more seats? Seems like every season now our full capacity is being reduced.

    We're not exactly filling the seats we've got.

    They have removed seats.

    I was sold a ticket for yesterday which no longer exists.

    It sits underneath the grass pitch, which is stored under the Kop end there whilst the NFL is on

    That'll explain the Becher's Brook-type drop off the edge of the pitch all the way round.
