stealthpapes I'd never seen it from the other view - the pillars aren't too bad. Just a shame the top looks like an egg slicer.


A Spurs fan was very complimentary about the design on Sunday when I was at WHL. He said "It looks brilliant and so refreshing that it won't look like all other grounds in this country".

No other trainers looked like the Nike Air Max 1 back in the day and they're an iconic trainer now.

Did you walk round White Hart Lane, Reading Elvis style, holding up a print of the new Chelsea stadium designs then ?

No, I was in East stand hospitality talking to a Spurs fan about their new stadium and we spoke about the new Stamford Bridge.

Yeah, I've always thought it looked like an abomination from above or distance at ground level, but it does look quite nice in amongst those disgusting pillar arch things. So the bit you see for all of 30 seconds as you walk in.

Got to say, it looks absolutely stunning IMHO. Surprised they've settled for a smaller capacity than Tottenham mind. How difficult would it be to build in an extra 1,500 seats, particularly at this very early stage?

Spurs have gone to 61,000 to outdo Arsenal. Will they fill it? I don't know. WHL currently holds about 31,000 and they don't fill their ground as higher % wise as Chelsea do as present.

I expect they will considering they're taking 80,000+ to European games. Season ticket w8ing list is miles long too.

So why don't they totally fill their 31,000 capacity stadium?

Well, I'm not disputing a few hundred seats. But they only fill to 98.7%

Any way, better not use stats as that's trolling. :lol:

But that's probably fluctuating away fan attendances/ST holders who couldn't renew due to them taking a chunk out of the ground.

Chelsea's is just 0.6% higher.
