The latest the New Spurs Stadium including Daniel Levy answers and children watching the night sky for the Spurs Batlight
New Spurs Stadium
There will be some decorative tiling on the external walls of the new Spurs stadium with iconic Spurs phrases; 'Tottenham Hotspur', 'Established In 1882', 'London N17', 'The Game Is About Glory'. 'To Dare Is To Do' and 'Audere Est Facere'.
A New Spurs Stadium Tweet from Chris Cowlin who has visited the Spurs new stadium build this weekend to look at progress.
The Spurs football club shop will be the biggest football club shop in Europe. It is another demonstration that Tottenham want to grow as a club and bring in as much revenue as possible from all revenue streams.
Totthenham ticket sales do not pay for players wages,indeed they are only a fraction of the overall club income and that has to rise if Spurs are to compete financially with the top clubs and compete on wages.
It isn't going to happen overnight and we are not there yet so splurging the cash isn't an option just yet either. Just like the stadium, the club shop will have (at least we have applied to have) glass tiling and LED lighting (170 lights) built into the tiling so that the stadium glows in the dark on match days, giving new Spurs stadium a really dramatic and colourful effect. It is all a part of making a visit to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium an experience to remember and thus attract other visitors.
The roof on the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium will begin very shortly, at the beginning of March suggests Chris, although this has been questioned in other quarters.
I'd recommend a visit to the website devoted to the build with live cameras you can watch and plenty of images to give a real understanding of what the new Spurs stadium will look like.

3. New stadium build and infrastructure
3.1 PH asked whether the stadium build was on schedule, noting that the roof was a little later than anticipated.
DL explained that the compression ring had been completed last weekend and the roof lift was scheduled to be completed in the next fortnight. Bad weather and high winds had caused the minor delay.
DL said the build was incredibly complex and it was impossible to give an exact date as to when the stadium would be completed. However, everyone is working towards being in the new stadium next season and would be extremely disappointed were this not the case.
Once the roof has been completed, there’s still a significant amount of technical work to do.
3.2 PH asked for contingency plans for any over run.
DL said that although a contingency plan was in place everyone was 100% focused on achieving the budgeted timescale. Certainly no talks had been held with Wembley over extending their residency and that there was no intention of activating any extension clause unless it was absolutely necessary.
DL stated he was confident, as far as was possible, that they would hit the build deadline.
Season ticket sales would open in the next few weeks.
DL thought it was likely they would request to play the first few matches of the 2018-19 season away from home. This had always been the case.
3.3 DL confirmed there was no possibility of opening the stadium at a reduced capacity.
SF reassured that any rumours to the contrary on social media had been clarified and corrected.

Now over on Skyscraper City where the nerds love to talk construction, I spotted an idea we could embellish upon.
BillericaySpurs (Billericay is a place in Essex for those who don't know) jests he would love to see a Batman style searchlight flitting above the stadium.
I immediately think it could light up the night sky with an image of Moussa 'The Beast' Dembele when he was honing in on an opponent, or of Harry Kane when he scores another goal. Folk could hear the cheer and children could look out of their windows to see who scored.
Those children would all turn into our next generation of supporters and the Gooners support would diminish. Long term planning, come on Daniel, put it in place.
Harry Kane, the Caped Crusader, I can see it now. Another merchandising revenue stream with his own weekly comic strip for the kids. In fact that's not a bad idea, why don't Spurs have their own comic with club news aimed at the children,no reason all players can't feature in it and it's another weekly revenue stream I'm sure would be popular.
Who would you have light up the night air?
