Some trial seats have been installed on the new terracing of the North Stand. Two more sets of seats from different suppliers are also going to be given a trial run.
THFC are also introducing a Tunnel Club, THFC’s Darren Baldwin has told sam.uk.com…
It will be very exclusive with about 100 seats in there.
“You will be able to stand right beside the glass wall of the tunnel when the players come out. There will be a floor to ceiling glass wall between you and the players. There is also the ability to turn the glass opaque should there be a player injury, or a kerfuffle in the tunnel, or a red card.”
“We have built in flexibility for bringing back safe standing. All we have done with this is future proof the stadium. We have designed the stadium to allow safe standing should it come back in. That needs a government change of law to go to safe standing. I can’t see it for a good few years yet, though.”
Baldwin said that for the stadium to transform into NFL mode, the football pitch will slide out underneath the South Stand to reveal an NFL field underneath.
The NFL pitch will be 6 feet lower than the football pitch.
In NFL mode the Sky Lounges will be used for the eye-in-the-sky tactical coaches of the respective NFL Teams.
Sprinklers in the new South Stand will ensure a greater good choice in the good halls.
Currently testing a 5m section of the retractable pitch at Hotspur Way. The joins have to meet within 1mm of each other.
A 21m x 3m section will earmarked to be tested in the future.
