Unless the corner bars in the ground are good and well priced. Midweek games will be a problem though.
Happy hour in the stadium bars after the game , it would be good but reduced prices might be wishful thinking.

Was always going to be the case really. The roads could barely cope with 36k, not to mention the duty we have to try and discourage driving to games for environmental reasons. It's just a shame the train links aren't great for a lot of people.
Anybody who lives in London knows the chaos caused as soon as any major road is even partially closed, if they are going to close the High Rd for 2 hours to most traffic before say a CL game at 6 in the evening then North London will be grid locked.
Not being pedantic but it says to access rather than access to which doesn't seem much I know but it leads me to believe can't use it as opposed to can't turn onto it.I don't drive but it say access to the high road not closing the high road.

Either way if it is closed or reduced they must surely have a diversion route in place mustn't they?

I would assume its a logistics thing, one tray which was the closest to the loading layby externally of the stadium had the sand in. The other two only a small amount at that end. Which means its entirely possible they couldn't access the trays with the plant required whilst they where they were. No they're all wheeled out they canI realise it is probably not on the critical path, but it would be nice to have the sand levelled out in these trays and the grass starting to be installed. A pitch can normally be relaid in a matter of days, but they are taking weeks just to load the sand alone.
Maybe they can't use heavy equipment because of the upturned milk crates under the surface, but relaying a pitch every few years is part of the modern game. They are not going to have weeks if the pitch needs relaying mid-season for some reason. They might not have much time if there is a busy summer schedule on the nfl surface, so this is a good practice opportunity.
We can't see inside the stands and not many of us would understand the importance of what was missing. But we can see the 'pitch' and it is frustrating that progress is so slow.

Tottenham experience camera now changed to inside the stadium looking towards north stand

Wow, that’s almost going to be my view
The turf will come in on trays having been grown elsewhere. The trays will just move into place and form the pitch which will move in and out as required.I would assume its a logistics thing, one tray which was the closest to the loading layby externally of the stadium had the sand in.

Also, bare in mind the buildup probably can't take an 8 wheel lorry hoofing across it to load out the sand, therefore the only option is by small tipper loads which is time consuming. The laying of the turf itself will probably be quite quick, the rolls are laid by tractor.

You do wonder why they couldn't use portable klaxons if all the fire alarms aren't working, there'll be other test events to test the finished fire alarms.Will try and get it confirmed either way but lots of noise between management that the first test event may have to be pushed back / cancelled. Only west lower seating is fit for use and is also the only stand where fire alarm has been commissioned (which you need to hold a test event).
