Having recently abseiled the ArcelorMittal Orbit, which is double the height, this seems like a piece of piss...
Oh, and if it is a windy day they simply won't open it to the public.
Lift broke?

I've noticed there are no trains listed from Northumberland on Tuesday night. I hope the station isn't being worked on. It's going to be a nightmare with so many people getting home. I've emailed Greater Anglia ([email protected]) asking to add it to their stops otherwise I have to walk all the way down to Tottenham Hale or go from WHL to Cheshunt. Anyone know what's quicker, the long wait at WHL or walking down to Tottenham Hale?
Maybe if others email too they might use Northumberland.

have sent you a PM
No was offering transport to save hassle with trainBoris or the pig fucker?
if we're finishing 5 or 6 or below our crowds will average 40-45K, if current prices are maintained
Don’t agree at all. There’s very little difference between Arsenal match going support and ours. If anything I’d say ours is better. It totally depends on the mood, if you end up with a Wenger type situation then yeah they’d be a drop off. But you can be 5/6 th with an air of optimism like Chelsea and Arsenal now and easily sell out. Shame we didn’t get to see a carabo game against lowly opposition, attendance would have been very interesting.
Dont we have like 42k season ticket holders. This comment means no members would buy a ticket at all which I dont think would be the case
Got absolutely soaked in the south stand yesterday. Not good for a new stadium.
Do they stop the buses running or do they just divert them? I thought the diversion was down Landsdowne road and back up Northumberland Park but either way you only need a short walk up or down the High road to pick up a bus I think.I assume all the buses will be prevented from using the High Road until two hours after the final whistle, as usual. Nobody will ever convince me this is a decision made with any common sense. Surely, the main objective is to get the crowds away from the ground as quickly, as efficiently and as safely as is possible, so by stopping all the buses between Northumberland Park and Seven Sisters, you're denying all those people who need to get to Seven Sisters or Bruce Grove stations the chance to leave the area as quickly as they might need to, especially in the pissing rain, it's no fun to have to walk all that way, jostling with the crowds, getting soaking wet, not to mention all those people who can't walk that far because of any age related or physical disabaility they may have. Sorry, but stopping the buses at the exact time and place people need them most is utter bollocks.

Me too so now it's not enough to know it's raining I now have to check for north winds. I bet they didn't cover that in their computer modelling.Got absolutely soaked in the south stand yesterday. Not good for a new stadium.

Yes, they are diverting them, but that's no help whatsoever if you're leaving the ground and need to get to one of the main getaway stations like Northumberland Park, Bruce Grove or Seven Sisters and it's pissing down with rain. Both stations which you describe as being 'only a short walk' are endurance tests for those who may not be anywhere near as fit as yourself, and what is merely a ten minute walk for you is more like a fifteen or twenty minute walk for some others (especially with the kind of adverse weather conditions we often have to put up with in London).
Admittedly, a short walk up to Lansdowne Road from the stadium may not be too difficult if you're leaving the stadium from the West or South stand, but there are plenty of people who's seats are in either the north or east stands who still face a trek of around ten minutes or more up to Northumberland Park, which is all well and good in fine weather, but not if you find walking too far a problem and, as I say, the weather is horrible and you're fighting with huge crowds of people.
So, I have to ask, what exactly is the problem with allowing the various bus routes to simply go up and down the length of the High Road as they do usually, after a match?
Sorry for the rant, but it's just something which bugs me.

I bet they did, but in the grand scheme of things the pitch getting enough natural light is more important. Or was it coming through the roof?Me too so now it's not enough to know it's raining I now have to check for north winds. I bet they didn't cover that in their computer modelling.
I'm not complaining but no it wasn't coming through the roof, it wasn't isolated to certain areas like a leak it was pooring down horizontally on the entire south stand up to the level where you come out from the level two concourse, the area for the wheelchair users.I bet they did, but in the grand scheme of things the pitch getting enough natural light is more important.

errrr because there simply isn't the space on the pavement to facilitate thousands of people descending on mass.
Roof coverage is standard at every new stadium. If there’s any sort of wind there’s not a whole lot you can do about it.I'm not complaining but no it wasn't coming through the roof, it wasn't isolated to certain areas like a leak it was pooring down horizontally on the entire south stand up to the level where you come out from the level two concourse, the area for the wheelchair users.
