Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Just seeing all the Spurs/NFL stuff announced. Frightening on a commercial level how huge that deal could be for them when you consider 250m people watch NFL in a week. Also frightening how many light years Levy is ahead of GSB in his foresight.Looking forward to seeing the seahawks in an NFL stadium as opposed to Wembley can’t wait.

I'm pretty sure the NFL chucked a load of money at Spurs to help build the stadium, they have their own NFL changing rooms and entrances and what not.bubbles500 wrote:Just seeing all the Spurs/NFL stuff announced.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
I didn’t really realise how big a deal it was till today. I thought 2 games a year big deal. But it’s all the commercial spin offs I’d expect their naming rights deal to be massive. I think they will go well ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal and possibly Chelsea depending on Abramovich future involvement which seems to be on the drift.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
I think it's a 10 year deal for Spurs too. They'll rake it the money. It'll become the home of the NFL in London no doubt, and with that comes pretty much all of the US talking about them.

I find it absolutely astonishing that people accuse you of being a Spurs supporter.bubbles500 wrote:I didn’t really realise how big a deal it was till today. I thought 2 games a year big deal.

It’s all over the news and I love NFL. Sorry I’ll only post West Ham related stuff in future.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Does anyone know where we stand with our nice claret astro turf to surround the pitch?
I'm sick of looking at that faded green material every match, all rutted up and cheap looking.
Last I heard claret didn't fit LLC's brand for the stadium, they insist on blue.
What about a compromise - lets say claret & blue?
Or was that just another unfulfilled promise

Would be nice to actually see a bit more claret from the stands.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
I think you are spot on in seeing how Levi is taking advantage of the NFL games in London scenario, but I also think it was unrealistic that we could compete - we'd have to have the same profile and recent success of Spurs to even be in with a chance of competing. This isn't something you can throw at the board - Spurs haven't been dealing with two relegations in the last couple of decades.bubbles500 wrote:I thought 2 games a year big deal.

We are struggling for stability, while they established stability 20 years ago and have been building on it ever since. We've had the Icelandic drama and then the 'saviourship' of GSB.
Come on, let's have some realism in this discussion, as well as insight.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Bit of balance:
I was chatting to a photographer on the train the other night. He has just started covering Prem games having moved up from non league.
He said that the only clubs he has been to are us and Chelsea. At our place he gets really well looked after, hot drink and a sandwich at half time etc. While at Chelsea he got nothing and felt like he was more of a nuisance.

I can only presume Moose is grabbing his share then as he never stops praising the care he gets there even on personal terms with the chef so he claims.Coops wrote:Bit of balance:

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
I'm not sure sharing with the NFL is the promised land, although better than sharing with athletics. It's a big investment plan, maybe a cash drainer (as was Emirates) in the short term. Always thought the 'Lane' was a dump anyway. Big (in the 70s) but p****. And full of morons to boot

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
There’s always this myth about emirates being a cash drainer to build. The reason Arsenal got stretched was because they redeveloped Highbury to flats. Although they profited from it in the end it stretched them to the limit.if they just built the stadium and sold the land they’d probably have been better off.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Why don't they just pull up the rug and expose the claret running track? Job done and for free
Or do the retractable seats fully cover it?

That's only because The Moose reached the press room before him at Chelsea.
