Zatman Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I never really get the idea with drinking at games in England. You cant bring it into game and you queue up for ages at half time In Germany they have events after games for fans to drink at and adds to the experience and think it helps with traffic after game in that not everybody runs to train 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little bit surprised that hasn’t already been put in place though. They must have looked into it over the years while this has all been going on. I suppose it’s because they’ll want the best deal possible and securing that requires champions league qualification, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That great looking big new stand they've built to encourage a wall of atmosphere similar to Dortmund?

Zatman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Stats without Kane this season is incredible. I wonder would they be tempted to cash in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Probably not. The sample size without Kane is very small and if they sell him who do they buy as a replacement? They'd have to get a striker in, whoever that is won't be as good and the fans would use it as a weapon against the board after every bad result. The bright side of course is that they'll probably cope if Kane forces a move just like they coped after Bale, Modric and Berbatov all left. I just can't see it happening this summer. Playing the first season in that new stadium must be a huge draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Spursszzz "magnificent" win featured on ITV news. My other half said "what are they celebrating?" I said winning nothing, and beating Huddersfield, who are worse than us when we went down. Open top bus parade coming up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats often skew things I guess, but Kane is a world class striker. Of the top scoring players in the Premier League, only Aguero and Aubameyang have a better mins per goal ratio - and neither of them are as efficient at scoring.

They are boring and crucially we would never fill it I'd take a 'boring' modern stadium over most of VP. The Holte is great, the exterior looks brilliant, and the inside is alright. North Stand? Absolute shithole that should be demolished. The exterior looks like something from the 60s and the interior is absolutely shambolic. Not enough facilities, cramped, and dirty, I wouldn't sit there again if it was free. Trinity and Witton Lane? the exterior looks like an industrial unit, and the interiors aren't much better than the North Stand, especially the upper concourses, they're incredibly cramped and I'm surprised they get through fire regs. Nowhere near enough toilets of food/drink service points, piss-poor legroom, loads of seats with restricted views. I'd happily knock all of it down except for the Holte and start again. Anyone who would rather have VP than the new Spuds stadium is insane. Edited April 14, 2019 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I sit in the upper trinity for the first time in well over a decade, I must say the concourse was much better and nicer than I remember. Spacious, clean, sun beaming through the roof. It was a lovely change of pace to the lower trinity dungeon vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arguments there are areas that are tired. But swap it all for a new stadium like Spurs'? Absolutely no way would I want that. I'd understand why it had to happen if it ever did, for the extra revenue. But I wouldn't like it. Edited April 15, 2019 by Stevo985 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Stay at a modernised VP all day every day for me. The majority of new stadiums look pretty much the same as each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
