How can they start draining it when it's got boats in it.

Oh Garth Crooks. Utter beaut.

At the new Spurs ground.

"What I am transfixed by is the pitch. Its the exact same size as WHL. That is crucial to a player, knowing the pitch"

BBC bloke. "Its slightly bigger Garth".

And not one Spurs player has played at WHL for what, 18 months or so?

Sand was delivered today. Work has already started on draining of the dock itself.View attachment 56464

Don’t you need planning permission to drain a dock??

I guess they could do it as an inspection to check the floor as part of the preparations but I doubt they would be draining anything permanently until they get planning.

My post was a slightly tongue in cheek reply to a previous post.

Spurs ground looks boss really looking forward to going there.

Really hope we do the club justice and build something that wows fans. No point with a nice/unique exterior if its just going to look like a larger version of the King Power inside.

Spurs’ stadium is opening today with a capacity of over 62,000. Our plan to open a new stadium at 52,000 is pathetic. We simply have to re-think this.

Build for what we want to be, not for what we currently are.

Would you say it’s embarrassing™?

Totally agree. Personally, I think the Spurs ground looks weird from outside, but we play and watch football inside.

They would have to stop water from entering the dock first by building a cofferdam wouldn't they?

What's the story with spurs south stand?
Is it rail seating?
Everyone is clearly leaning against bars behind the goal.

Edit, not sure if they're leaning against anything but it looks like organized, sanctioned standing

It's a fully functional safe-standing section with hand rails etc. It just can't be called 'safe-standing' until the law changes.
