Your Block Preference At The New Ground

[RichieS]

Despite the large amount of grumbling currently going on I suspect that most of us will probably find a way to renew, if only just to say we were there for the first season at the new Lane.

With that in mind, what are your preferred locations? Mine, in order of preference, are:

124
123
207

124 is the closest to replicating my position at the Lane (I was in Block 31, which seemed to be a bit of an SC block iirc).

I've just spent the last hour in a WhatsApp discussion with my mate (who is phase one) and we've settled on a first option. Need two more options incase things are unavailable by the time they get to me in phase two. But I'm not telling you where. Some serious thought went into it and to give it away now will tip off people who might get there before me!

So my answer is... any block that's £2200.

Based on where I always got tickets at WHL and my season ticket is now, 205/207. Being in Sales Phase 5 however it's highly unlikely there'll be any tickets left in any of the lower areas of any of 201 - 213 so I'll probably be looking at as far forward in the orange sections of 401 - 403 or the very corner of the green parts of 203/211, right next to someone who's paid over £200 more.

Isn’t 112 blank? Anyone know why most of north lower isnt selectable?

Maybe no ST Holders there due to increased capacity for cup games ?

As I’m stuck in Phase 8 I may have to convince myself that Karl Pilkington has a valid point

 

[markiespurs]

Hopefully Block 102, which is roughly where i sat before

If not, then block 107 or the equivalents in the east stand

Think that's 113.

 

[Spurs 1961]

No point me even looking for another five weeks

Ye pretty much.

I honestly can’t see the benifit with these1882 tickets.A free programme, one pint of beer and finger food for what will probably average out at 23 games a season if your lucky.That nearly 96 pounds a game.If you have Got a phase one option, you can litterally chose the first 3 rows of any stand in the stadium.
I hoping to give Poch ,tactical advise from my seats.

There’s no real benefit to a lot of things they are selling. That’s why I’m keeping it simple. Bells and all is fun for the first few games but this is a way of life. If anyone gets a season ticket with the idea they will be having the full stadium experience every visit then they clearly have too much time/money. Look how many people complain about how hard it is to make evening kick offs and can’t get home at a reasonable hour. This isn’t Disneyland. Not many people will want to be staying to get the once in a lifetime/blue moon experience. They really need to cater for those who turn up and sing in the sun, sing in the rain.

There’s a pub in Harlesden called the Royal Oak. Fine big place, open for many a year with a steady amount of people in there 7 days a week, retired lads, labourers, local characters. They turned it into a gastropub to serve the wallets of the people who could recently afford to buy in the area. But these people only turned up on a weekend afternoon with their kids in tow. Price rises forced the regular clientele out after many years open the place was shut within months because they didn’t have their bread and butter customer catered for. They went on to social media for a consultation on what they could do to reopen. The bread and butter boys not being ones for social media didn’t provide input. After a while they opened again claiming lessons had been learnt. And introduced a yoga class upstairs.

Know your regulars. Cater for them. Build on the solid foundations, don’t rip them out.

Somebody's after a Gilet.

 

[DiscoD1882]

As near to the cheese room as is humanly possible

 

[Jimmypearce7]

509 looks a decent view and has concessions.

Not going for equivalent of my old north upper seat- too near the away fans and may get moved for cup games.
