Spurs new stadium

[Zola]

Hard to not feel a bit jealous ?

Looks impressive... Doesn't seem like it was particularly well managed with the massive delays and massive overspend but perhaps Spurs were just trying to be overly ambitious with trying to get it finished with no wriggle room for delay?

Obviously us Chelsea fans were looking forward to seeing our own new stadium being built too but it looks like the idea is consigned to scrap heap for now with little in the way of explanation from the club as to why except for some throw away line about it not being the right financial climate or something. 

Hard to feel like despite all the years of investment by Roman into the squad we're getting left behind with regards to the long term growth of the club. 

Spurs now have their bells and whistles stadium, Liverpool have been expanding Anfield, City have expanded the Council House, Everton are moving forward with Bramley Moore stadium build. 

I love Stamford Bridge but 40k isn't big enough for a top team anymore and it's a shame that we seem to be standing still right now. 

I do wonder if we should have pushed harder for Battersea or Earls Court.

I'm struggling to be too fussed either way about it. It's definitely pretty impressive, but it's far too much like a generic Pro Evo stadium for me to be getting too jealous. Plus it's taken so long it became a bit of a joke. I'd love for us to be building our new stadium next, but it's slipped way down the list of things to worry about for me!

I do wonder if they bothered fitting a trophy cabinet...?

Those sorts of projects are never on time

I agree with everything though.. quite scary times we live in now... You cant stand still in football

Generic copy and paste new build stadium. At least the new Chelsea Stadium was going to be unique with the brickwork etc.

Yeah, every time a Spurs fan goes to their new state of the art 62'000 seater stadium I'm sure they'll be thinking "but only if it was as good as that artists impression Chelsea had". They're probably still reeling from the model of the proposed new stadium that Ken Bates had built in the late seventies - especially as we even built one side of that one!

[Blueblur]

Apparently the new Spurs stadium is entirely cashless. It will also be entirely trophy-less too so...

I'll be interested to see if they'll be able to fill the 62K seater every week?

[Snedger]

Haven't they been pulling in those kind of numbers while at Wembley these last few seasons? Doesn't seem that they are that deterred by winning f**k all. I guess it's the eternal hope that keeps them coming.

I did wonder at times where we thought we were going to get 60 odd thousand from beyond the big six matches. Especially as we already have a small army of day trippers at the Bridge and I think that in the interest of an atmosphere, the last thing we need is a few thousand more mobile phone wielding tourists.

I wonder if Spurs have a large number of tourists at their games. Being a London club it would seem quite possible, but without the trophy haul we've had in the last ten or so years and big stars like Drogba and Hazard, perhaps they haven't attracted as much interest.

Apparently they never bothered with a cabinet once they realized that you don't get squat for finishing in the top 4.

Why are we discussing their Stadium on here? f**k Spurs and f**k their new f**king stadium!

[Munkunku]

It’s appropriate that it looks like a bed pan considering it’ll be full of sh*t.

They certainly did at Wembley especially South Koreans. I think with Chelsea being the nearest club to the West End we will always get more tourists than any other London club. If your a tourist you'd leave Tottenham and West Ham as soon as the game was over you wouldn't want to hang about those horrible areas.

It's in N17, full of Tottenham fans,  and is therefore by definition, a complete and utter sh*thole.
