Don't think he actually used the word seamless and i wouldn't have agreed with him if he had. But DLs planned this very well and it'll go as well as it can i think. We're lucky to be spurs fans through these historic years. All we need is a trophy to put a gloss on it.

Hopefully it will be smooth, I fear seamless may be pushing it. Importantly we can see the new stadium starting to take shape and to the untrained eye it looks like it could be ready in summer 2018.

Without wishing to be excessively negative about this, it's plain that Clive Allen hasn't the slightest clue about the stadium build. They're just assertions and this is just PR.

It would be utterly outstanding to win the league at WHL.

It's already patently not smooth. We have to spend a year at another ground.

I hope they manage the seating plans properly, and keep the singing and atmosphere crew from the Shelf, all together.

No point mixing fans that wanna sit with fans that wanna stand, and end up with a farce like them idiots who got the free stadium from east London.

The problem at the os is that the rake is so shallow and you are so far from the pitch that if you stand it blocks the views for many rows back. They also don't have a family area so kids have no chance to see whats going on.

Speak for yourself. If I need to know anything about the implications of a construction of this magnitude I always go straight to whoever hit the back of the net the most 30 years ago.

I don't think Clive is talking about the construction being seamless I think he's talking about our performances. I think West Ham's poor home form is what he's saying we're going to avoid as we're staying on our own patch.
