The problem we have as supporters is we love history and don't want to move on. Hence, Wembley and White Hart Lane were built on the old sites which are basically shite holes..
The trip to the Spurs ground was not a pleasant non match experience. The stadium around the pitch is impressive but access and fans facilities leave a lot to be desired. The situation re. disabled access is the worst that I have come across. Coach 2 carrying wheelchairs and ambulant disabled was not allowed to drop off and pick up at the stadium as is the usual procedure at grounds, including previous trips to White Hart Lane. This was despite requests from Villa. We were in a side road with a difficult walk for the ambulant. After the game they had problems exiting the stadium with doors closed; a young fan did trips with a wheelchair to bring them to the coach in turn. We finally set off 1 hour after the match ended.I would have expected disabled access to be part of the design plan at the building stage. To get into the ground there were 4 ticket checks and a bag search. I was told that I was lucky my bar of chocolate was not confiscated as no food is allowed to be taken in. Then the long queues for food and drink in a noisy, crowded concourse and over loud stadium music made it a relief when it was switched off and the match started.Thank goodness that the team gave us something to enjoy. Don't wish to be blunt...who r u, i'm always on coach 2 as i was on saturday. George did indeed go off looking for one or two. It was certainly a struggle getting backto coach after the game, good job there was a lift to get up and down from entrance levels. Agree 100% with your comments.
Maybe drop each other a pm to introduce yourselves? Your safe meeting PGW, he's a good 'un.
PWG, I would rather not put personal details on here but if you are going to Crystal Palace have a word with Debb and she will introduce us.
