How’s your Interlull going?
I’m playing a blinder so far with mine.
I’ve just discovered that the new oven has a defrost function. Essentially it’s room temperature air being whooshed about. I know, I know, but to me it’s a revelation.
I was at The Lane on Sunday.
What I can share with you is that one of the tour guides wasn’t talking too much, but the hungover over one was far more chatty.
There is an architect’s model of the new stadium (Yay!). It can be found in Levy & Co.’s office (Ooh). It’s the 7th one (Ah). The only nailed on certainties at this stage are the Sainsburys and the ice rink. The proposed hotel, the apartments and the dogging zone are all “yet to be confirmed.”
The NFL option was also mentioned. This is a serious consideration we were told.
However the comment from the guide was: “But that didn’t go down well with the staff here.” I’ll let you my dear reader, assess just what role WHL staff might have in any major decision making processes.
The home dressing room was interesting fare. The main dressing room itself is a rectangle and not so big a space as you might think. The Tottenham dressing room is compact. This is in part perhaps, to the fact that about 50% of the space is a “wet room.” Featuring communal baths. Which is nice.
In the wall as you walk through is an iPlayer dock. Which I was told was for Azza Blud to blast his choons. The guide said that Azza’s beats could be heard in the Director’s box. We all remember our mothers screaming up the stairs, telling us to turn down the top 40 that we used to tape off the radio on Sundays. They never grow up.
The long side of as you walk in, on the right opposite the player’s benches…is all about AVB. Three 42″ televisions. The first TV is for attacking plays. The second for the game generally, the last as you move along, for defensive stuff. There’s a magnetic wipe board complete with blue vs red counters. The cables on the table beneath the board are for a Mac.
The death of Eriksen was glossed over. The highlight was undoubtedly a young lad who went and sat in the boss’s chair in the media room and began giving an imaginary presser. One wag called out “Where’s Lamela?” another “When are you going to knock this inverted winger thing on the head?”
We are not alone.
