So by making the vast area a more distinctive colour, making it stand out more and drawing more attention to it … this will somehow make it look smaller?wildkard wrote:Difficult to say. I think the c&b could, in theory, make the gap look smaller. It'd certainly give the players a better idea of where the pitch ends, which is something I'm sure I've seen a couple of them complain about.
I hope it's not due to inflationfredjstanley wrote: It is cheaper for the football. Food as well as I went to one of the athletics sessions and my mate paid £7 for a hot dog I know I paid £5 from the same catering pod within the stadium for a football match.
Pretty much nail on the head.e10hammer wrote:It's not the colour of the covering that's the problem, it's the bloody great gaps everywhere, including those covered by the stupid trampolines, it is and never will be a stadium suited for football, especially when you read elsewhere that Spurs new stadiums worst seats would be comparable to the front row seats in the upper tier at our stadium.
If you overcomplicate catering at the football, the end result is more inflation.Made In Leyton 1974 wrote:

if it's a dark, it's a negative colour which will make it look smaller next to the bright green and give it a visible boundary.The Sherriff wrote:So by making the vast area a more distinctive colour, making it stand out more and drawing more attention to it … this will somehow make it look smaller?
Righty ho.
It will make it look 10 x times worse than it already does.

Don't they have to treat it as dead space for as long as athletics mode needs to be used every so often? That space becomes occupied by the lower tier.Mega Ron wrote:

With some decent planning they could incorporate bars/lounges in these areas. They would have to be lower than they trampolines but there is plenty of space for that. They could even be on ground level.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/40949809" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Britain's best athletes will take on their US counterparts in a new two-hour competition at the London Stadium next year.
'The Meet' will be held on 21 July 2018 and involve running, jumping, hurdles and relay events.
The US topped the medal table at August's World Championships, with Britain in sixth place.
"We have a great sporting rivalry and look forward to seeing which nation comes out strongest," said Adam Gemili.
The British sprinter was part of the men's 4x100m relay team that took gold on Saturday, ahead of the much-fancied US team.
At The Meet, athletes will score points for their respective countries in nine events. The format and athletes taking part will be announced early next year.
"This promises to be one of the biggest events in athletics in 2018," said Niels de Vos, chief executive of British Athletics.

It doesn't have to be permanent. Nothing else is. They can drop the areas in for when they are required. In the East/West they'd never need to be moved would they?wizzo_66 wrote:

Suppose we go through the qualifiers again for europa league next season and get drawn at home first leg. Looking forward to the re-peddled once in a generation malarkey.
Moved one row back from front row top tier 1966 because the top row of the lower tier in front of me obscured the view. Seems to depend on the exact position but wasn't worth £1100 & no, I'm not a midget!e10hammer wrote:, especially when you read elsewhere that Spurs new stadiums worst seats would be comparable to the front row seats in the upper tier at our stadium.
Call the t/o ask to speak to the v kind Paul and explain. Your dad is probably entitled to an ambulant disabled ticket maybe even with a carer in the last row of the lower tier.njmacleod wrote:Quick question - does anyone know if there are lifts up to the Bobby Moore Upper?

They used to do similar meets for country vs country years ago. I remember going to a UK v US v someone else at Crystal Palace back when i was a nipper in the 80sHammerMan2004 wrote:Well, that'll be fun. Watching USA beat Team GB in 8 or 9 out of 10 events.
