[Misc] Spurs new stadium - will it be ready ??

Spurs have very much benefitted from their 'blue' being VERY appealing. Looks amazing in a whole stadium.

For example, it wouldn't quite so sexy in Watford yellow would it? That blue is just CLASSY. See Seattle Sounders stadium for a similar appeal.

You really can see the NFL influence on it's design, in my opinion.

Found it bizarre people were mocking them for the delays. It was always going to look MEGA. As experts in waiting for something mega, we should know another few months is NOTHING.

I have always and still do the North Stand at the Amex is very poor and should have been bigger than the south slightly, it would give more a threatening look and having roughly the same in the North and away sometimes is not an advantage it should be.

Starting every sentence with "Soooooo" is just the modern day equivalent of "Errrrrrrrrr". It's just a verbal delaying tactic whilst the brain comes up with an answer!

They are both horrible and are only used by the intellectually challenged!

Amazing stadium, the 'Wall' end behind the goal looks awesome as does the dark blue seating. The key thing though is getting the singers in the same area of the Wall section.

One criticism: they shouldn't have called the food area Market Place. It should have been Deli Alley.

After all the false starts, Levy refuses to put a date on it now. They still don't know.

Strictly speaking, they shouldn't even be allowed to play there till next season.

I am impressed with the anger you have towards this

More than any Spurs fan

As I said I’m impressed

What do I have to be angry about ? Its no skin off my nose. I'm always very interested in stadium builds though, and like to keep an eye on them. This one has been particularly interesting to me, because it has turned into a complete and utter debacle and is now a high-profile PR disaster. Now I'm just rubbernecking the fallout.

All entirely avoidable if they'd just been honest from the outset, and announced 2 seasons at Wembley instead of 1.

That’s why I’m so impressed, it doesn’t affect you at all minus 1 game

Not sure it is as a bigger PR disaster as you make out, no one will care or remember the delay once Spurs are in.

I agree, should have said two seasons but here we are.

It HAS been a PR disaster - you've only got to trawl the Spurs messageboards on the subject to see the amount of anger and frustration this has caused, not to mention the ramifications of binning off the scheduled NFL games.

It'll all be alright in the end, but up until now, its been a clusterfvck of the highest order.
