realmadrid Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Shame it will be full of permed scousers. That's not the market the club are going for. Supposedly they are marketing these seats down in London to the corporate market, hence the rush to build this and not develop the stand behind the goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogisbairns Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Was in Istanbul last week and had a look at Besiktas's new stadium being built. It was supposed to be up and running this season, but absolutely no chance. I'd be surprised if it's ready for next season. Still, when it is ready it'll be the dog's donads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 In a football manager career where I took Salisbury City from the Conference South to... everything, really, I went through about five stadium expansions that all put a couple of thousand seats in the place. I always wondered what it would look like in reality, assuming that none of the stands or anything matched (especially since one of them involved replacing a standing area with seats). That Anfield expectation makes the whole image seem a bit less romantic than I'd thought previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Surely those at the back of the top tier will really struggle to see the game? It'll not be ideal you won't see much beyond the far touchline with the roof blocking the rest out. No pillars in the way though like at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vodafone arena will be cracking when it's finally completed. The Turkish government is on some sort of vanity project building/part funding all these huge new stadiums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey's economy has been booming in a big way over the few years, surprised considering how quickly their infrastructure has improved that their stadium building has been so slow. A Euros or World Cup there would be very decent when all built. Antalyaspor's new ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Euros or World Cup there would be very decent when all built. Antalyaspor's new ground I've been to Antalyaspor's new stadium and it's very impressive. It was built as part of the euro 16 bid from Turkey. The capacity is over 30,000 but Antalya are lucky to get half of that at any game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 A snap outside White Hart Lane today. I didn't realise that they were so close to starting work on a new ground. No building work has been started yet as full permission is still to be granted but the site next to the existing ground has been cleared. Chat is that Chelsea have offered the FA more money to rent Wembley so MK Dons might be an option while the work is done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The locals go apeshit if there are too many games at Twickenham. It might even be in the area's bye laws that there can only be so many games a year at the stadium. There's no way fortnightly games would be allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The locals go apeshit if there are too many games at Twickenham. It might even be in the area's bye laws that there can only be so many games a year at the stadium. There's no way fortnightly games would be allowed. I think there's too much going on at Twickenham to make it viable, more so than Wembley. You've got the England home games, the London club games at the start of the season and at Christmas, the varsity match, the schools cup finals, the army v navy games. It's also not set up to move large numbers of people by public transport in the way that Wembley is, and a major road between the station and the ground has to be closed when games are on. On top of all that, you've got Harlequins' games at the Stoop to work around as well. I think in the end some deal will be worked out for the to play at the Olympic Stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Stadium MK (according to google maps) is an hour and 7 minutes drive from white hart lane, Twickenham is 45 minutes and the Olympic is 30 minutes. If they can arrange a deal to share the Olympic for 2 seasons I think West Ham would allow it. They'll be happy to have someone paying towards the upkeep for a couple of seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The Spurs plans look by far the best of the new builds on offer in England just now. This is where the ground clearing work was at, at the start of September. The location in relation to the old ground can be seen here And when finished Some plans - North and South stands East and west 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 When Spurs fans see this and what they could have had at the Olympic stadium I think they will be happy to have stayed where they are.

realmadrid Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The pitch will split in 3 when being stored to allow NFL and other events in the stadium. it needs to do this as the posts hold up the South stand. How it works Then under the stand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
