I know most aren't gonna be fussed about this but I've said for years the amount of plastic wasted at football stadiums is ludicrous so quite chuffed that we'll be taking big steps to reduce plastic waste at the new gaff. Hopefully it work with great success and others follow suit.

Edit:

Here's the article copied and pasted for those that can't be fucked to click the link.

CLUB ANNOUNCES SINGLE-USE PLASTIC REDUCTION MEASURES FOR NEW STADIUM

• Club committed to phasing out single-use plastics across all Club operations.
• From opening day, our new stadium will eliminate use of plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery and all plastic disposable packaging that accompanies these items.
• All new supplier contracts will include requirement to reduce single-use plastics.
• One Hotspur membership packs to include see-through Bag for Life that will be encouraged to be used on matchdays.


As we plan for the opening of our new stadium, we have been exploring ways to ensure that products we use do not end their life with us as part of our commitment to reducing our single-use plastic footprint across Club operations.

We have sought to source more environmentally sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic and will continue to do so as part of our commitment to phasing out single-use plastics from our operations. Any new contracts which come up for tender will also include a requirement to cut single-use plastics.

As such, we shall not be stocking plastic straws, stirrers or cutlery from day one at our new stadium across all concourse areas, nor will they be wrapped in any plastic disposable packaging. In addition, no single-use plastics will be used to serve food inside our premium areas.

All our One Hotspur members will receive a Bag for Life as part of their membership packs for the 2018-19 season. The see-through Bags for Life meet our stadium security and safety requirements, meaning fans can bring their bag along on matchdays to carry all of their belongings and in-store purchases.

Those stadium visitors that are not part of our membership scheme will be able to purchase a multi-use, reusable drawstring bag from one of our retails outlets at a cost of £1.

We shall also be phasing out standard 5p carrier bags and replacing them with biodegradable alternatives, including a new see-through option for security purposes that will help to reduce queue times when entering the stadium.

Profits from the sales of any of these bags will continue to be donated to the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “As a Club we have always taken our responsibility to care for our environment seriously. We have demonstrated this with the environmentally sensitive development of our Training Centre, where we have preserved historic hedgerows and planted for the future and which will see us adding an Environmental Centre and Nature Reserve there too. Another first by the Club.

“So I am delighted that we shall now be bringing our values to the new stadium to both play our part in the reduction of single-use plastics and raise awareness of the importance of doing so.”

Each year 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide and 40 per cent of it is single-use, meaning it is used only once before being thrown away.

More than eight million tonnes of plastic enters the world's seas each year, most of it coming from land, and it can take hundreds of years for it to break down, posing significant threat to wildlife and the environment.

For the anally retentive, civil engineers, geeks and those like me who are looking for positives and have become addicted to the Stadium build, it's a hive of industry right now. Giant LED screens being installed, roof cassettes, blokes and cranes all over the place. It's all going on.

there's 6 of them up there this morning, must be prepping for the transparent panels. I've developed some form of vertigo over the past 5 years, it's horrendous and I'd have been physically sick in the lift getting to the roof let alone doing what these and those crane blokes do. I'm in the Upper tier at Wembley and go up in the lift, the last escalators are horrible.

It's not the height for me it's the part of my brain that says 'you're going to die, just one tiny slip and you're a goner' *tiniest breath of wind* AHHHH WHAT WAS THAT (prompting massive wobble which of course wobbles the ladder or whatever I'm on which in turn causes another...) AHHHHHH, then the voice 'see, I told yer', prompting mega shakes and down off the ladder, a few big lung full of safe, fresh air, 'Fuck that for a game of soldiers' and I go inside.

Even worse, my son has exactly the same thing! I tried to get him into the loft the other day to help me, no way was he going up there!

Slightly off Spurs topic!

Edit: I should have said I'm about 3 rungs up!

Yeh I used to have major escalator issues but have been able to force myself through it, the worst was the type in shopping centres that would go from the top level to floor with a wonderful vista of the centre in front of you! I used to stop at the point where you put your first foot on and freeze waiting for a 'good' time, fucking dangerous hen there are people behind you!

I counted up seats left after the sales deadline and before the site was taken down. If anyone knows how many seats there were in total in each of the blocks that were available for general admission purchase (I've definitely seen an image somewhere with the totals),then you'll have your exact number.

I don't think that's right mate. Haven't got the figures handy but was under the impression that Capacity is 62k STH's is 42k hospitality and away support c. 12k leaving about 8k for general sale? Could be wrong.

Yeh I read the original post and made it sound like 33k of the 42k ST allocation
