The Premier League's first standing area
At the new White Hart Lane, all set up ready for use when 1) the stadium opens and 2) legislation allows

Let's hope it comes to all grounds, especially Turf Moor, as soon as possible.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Pic taken today - they won't be able to use it as standing initially but it is there ready for when they can. There will also be a standing area for away fans.Vino blanco wrote:Let's hope it comes to all grounds, especially Turf Moor, as soon as possible.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
What’s likely to happen first, a change in legislation or the opening of the stadium?

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Another pic from today, taken by a friend of mine from what will be her seat. I think they must have had an open day ahead of the test events.
Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Looking at the picture, putting a rail behind the seat offers a bit more protection from 'the bloke behind you' or even worse, small children kicking the back of one's head. it defines personal space better.
The bottom picture though, identifies NWHL as a media indoctrination pit. THREE BANDS of electronic signalling. Ridiculous! One band is one too many.

There’s no way their fans will sit down in that area, legislation or not.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Well it looks very good I must say..but it has been said not to judge a book by it's cover as well.
One test I want all new grounds to pass is the "do we get wet" when it pizzles down with rain?

They also have what I imagine to be a first when it comes to your half time pint, when they serve it the glass fills from the bottom.

A good idea, just put the rail seats in and then say “it’s a seating area, honest!”

Good, and it will evidence that safe standing works. Am I right in thinking the seats are removed with safe standing, or just flipped up like normal?Claretforever wrote:There’s no way their fans will sit down in that area, legislation or not.

Looks good
Just want to echo what someone has said above but sitting in a standing area is like moving into a house next to an airport and complaining about the noise of planes.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
I wonder how they will go about transferring ST seat allocations from Wembley to the new ground. Will they wait until next season to move in then everyone applies for a ST?

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
So is it clear that way is going to operate? as I thought the original plan was to give "all" people if they like to sit or stand in the same area the "choice" without affecting other peoples view/space in the same area.nyclaret wrote:I think the point is that if you buy a ticket for that section it's probably because you want to stand.
Therefore simply giving each paying fan/customer the right and fair consideration.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Once implemented with a change of legislation it will be a standing area. People who have bought season tickets in that area are fully aware of the situation.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
At last ! It would be great to be able to sit down on a seat which I have paid for rather than having to stand to watch a game !! The major difference would be the option of seating or standing for all home and away fans as in Germany. Eventually we may even be able to have a drink whilst watching a match as in Germany or as at a rugby match in England....

I think they already have STs for the new ground which all get cancelled for every match at Wembley and you have to purchase a new ticket.karatekid wrote:I wonder how they will go about transferring ST seat allocations from Wembley to the new ground.

That's why they're getting lower gates there.
So it will revert back to ST when it eventually opens.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Didn’t know that until Saturday. A Spurs fan told us they get a refund on their season ticket every time they play at Wembley but then have to purchase a ticket.Quickenthetempo wrote:I think they already have STs for the new ground which all get cancelled for every match at Wembley and you have to purchase a new ticket.

The capacity, for whatever reason, has now been reduced to 51,000 for Spurs games at Wembley.

If and when standing areas are permitted it would then mean we also have seating areas as well.South West Claret. wrote:Thanks Tony I misinterpreted the way it will work, it won't affect me for home games but will at away.
Spurs have done this brilliantly because the seats in there look just like the other seats in the stadium.

The ground does look great, but it doesn't look as though it will shelter many from the rain.
Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Does the roof move? In the position on the pictures it looks like it will do sweet F all to shelter the fans.
Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Not sure why it needed to be designed so obviously lacking in cover from the elements, unless the pictures are very deceptive. Though the ground does look fantastic, for a new one.
I never understand why the roof of new grounds can’t lean right towards the pitch, as opposed to skywards. Surely it would be better for atmosphere and keep out the rain.

We could do with roofs like Chelsea’s stand on the side which more than covers the seats, and leans down at the front. Pretty sure Newcastle’s home end behind the goal angles down too.

Re: The Premier League's first standing area
Yes, I was speaking with Spurs fan after the game. They have a window to get their ticket at Wembley, miss it and the seat is available for someone else. Similarly, if they forget to ask for their refund, they might miss out on getting their money back.ClaretTony wrote:Didn’t know that until Saturday.

Brent Council reduced the capacity for Spurs games because they've gone beyond the original crowd limits. I think it started beginning of Dec. It may be that the capacity can be increased for Champions League - if they aren't in NWHL by then.
How many were seated on Saturday? It looked like Wembley were trying out "rail standing."

the capacity reduction is something to do with the agreement they signed with the local council, don't remember the complete facts but it's something to do with not having too many people too often bothering the locals
