It there a reason why they've gone for 62,000 when this season has proved that Spurs fans can regularly smash that?
Seems strange you'd build a brand new stadium with such a relatively low capacity.
EDIT: Ah..High of 82,000+, low of 25,000. That's a massive variation from Man Utd / Rochdale.
Quite simply, I think it was about logistics and the footprint they had for the new build. Without moving away from Tottenham and finding a new field to build on, it was only ever going to physically be a certain size.
There is also the problem with transport. It was bad enough with 33,000 supporters. It is going to be horrendous with almost double that. I am not sure planning would have allowed for any more.
Are they working on / have plans to improve the surrounding infrastructure? I would imagine a project that size, and the impact it will have on surrounding areas, that this would be a priority?
Spurs announced new ticket prices for next season in the new Stadium.. I actually thought that given the almost doubling of capacity, they may leave the prices frozen... Oh no.....
Hefty hikes across the board, which is being justified as the facilities are now better. Well it wasn't like they were giving tickets away at the old WHL in the first place. Besides, I personally really don't care about "facilities" - Micro breweries, Cheese shops and s****y meeting areas, I would be happy with a beer crate to sit on to watch the game. Another sign that football is going down the pan and further away from the working man.
Having said that the new place will look amazing and I think they are still costing a little bit less than the equivalent ticket up the road at the Emirates.
Think I was just very naive thinking that maybe the Club would keep prices reasonable. Wembley attendances and a very long ST waiting list I guess is also something they are mindful of..
Not much consolation when the Emirates is the most expensive in the league!I think they are still costing a little bit less than the equivalent ticket up the road at the Emirates.
Not surprised as they were virtually giving season tickets away at around £250, just to try to fill the place. So a decent wedge of season ticket holders aren't even WHU fans, just grabbed the chance of a cheap deal to see premiership football.Just listened to a podcast about WHU, they actually only make 8m a year more in tickets from their move
Funnily enough it was years afterwards that we did that.Not much consolation when the Emirates is the most expensive in the league!

Didn't City do something similar when they moved into the new ground?

The cheap season tickets were / are at the back of the new(ish) South Stand behind the goal and on the front rows around the ground.
The problem we have now is that the tickets were so cheap that people pick and choose their games. The seats are sold but nobody in them!
Think they are about £250, so if you decide only to go to top six fixtures then that's still cheaper than going to those games individually and of course a lot less hassle.
But as been said Gallagher kept her job as she has a pair on her, sad but trueSo Carragher has been suspended by Sky for the rest of the season with his role to be reviewed again before the start of next season.
For some I'm sure that's good enough punishment, but I still can't see how he can come back.

In her defence, she could not answer for her actions as she was steaming on Midouri and Jaegermeister cocktails.
Have to use that defense if I ever need it.
