This from a spurs fan regarding their stadium capacity.......

[PSRB]

62,062 is the absolute stadium capacity. In football mode the front 3 rows aren't used (2 of them aren't even there with the grass pitch rolled out) and there is also seats lost to segregation etc. We'll never be able to get 62,062.

Nah. Went to Petts Wood and ate some Turkish nonsense. Home by 7.30 for a Game of Thrones. Lovely stuff.

Semosh? I wrote this about them in a thread on Facebook last night - I’d read quite a few good things about Semosh on social media but have to agree that the service was a little bit indifferent. We gave them the benefit of the doubt being relatively new, very busy on a Saturday and were clearly working hard to get through the night. But for the prices charged, I expected a better experience as a customer.

I think I prefer Uskudar

The original Kebab-Ye in Welling is actually very very good.

Uskudar it was. I have a watermelon of compacted meat in my colon now.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Well if the cap fits etc...

There are two classy kebab restaurants in Petts Wood. Uskudar has been long standing and always a favourite. Then a new one has just recently opened on the better side of the tracks, Semosh. I prefer Uskudar though.

The Best Kebab Ye in Prpington High Street isn’t to be sniffed at either.

It’s nice Uskudar, but Turkish is no substitute for shawarma.

This is truth. Still, I didn’t really have to go out, so all was good.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Good man, I'd stick to that one if I was you. Semosh is okay and an old school friend of mine has her artwork on the walls in there, but Uskudar know what they are doing. I think I could eat their chilli sauce with some of their bread by itself as a meal and be content

Ah yes, I recall going there after a night in The Harvest Moon when I was about 18. Happy days.

:shrug: I'm not sure that anyone actually cares what the capacity of their stadium is. It's obviously a better stadium than the Emirates. Sadly for them, stadiums don't equal prizes.

They care. They were going to make the capacity one more thousand than ours just so they could go "ya boo sucks". Then they thought "Where can you go from there?". And the answer was "One more" again. The Naming Rights Stadium. The stadium that's turned up to eleven. Twelve even.

And it may be better than The Grove is some shiny respects, and if it bankrupts the buggers it will certainly be a Good Thing, but it has the major disadvantage of being in Tottenham. Edmonton, practically. We have Upper Street and Cannonbury to enjoy either side of the match. They have the High Road.

What's the story with Cannonbury, a? In all my years, I don't think I've ever visited Cannonbury. Is it a bustling village with bars, restaurants and chic boutiques like Hampstead, or something more edgy, a little more earthy, like Finsbury Park without the knives?

Neither really. More of a leafy enclave with fairly big houses and the odd pub here and there. A river runs through it - the New River, though it's not new and it's not a river.

I've just looked at where it is. Of course I know it. I never knew it was called Canonbury. I suppose I must have seen it on the railway station but it never sank in. Ho hum.

Technically Cannonbury Station is in Highbury. They often name stations wrongly, and then people move places to where station names are. :-(

So Primrose Hill is really Chalk Farm. Chalk Farm station is in what was once (west) Kentish Town. Highgate station is in Archway and Archway station (originally called Highgate) is in Upper Holloway. Most bizzare of all, Gillespie Road station is named after a place in Woolwich. Unbelievable Jeff!

I sort of wish we had remained at Highbury now that ticket sales contribute so little towards the club's income when compared to television rights. But I suppose it would have required extensive modernisation which would likely have cost a significant amount of money on its own.

I am perfectly happy with our souless ground, tbh. It doesn't need expanding etc. It's fine.

Well the finest pub known to man is The White Horse in Parsons Green. You did say 'one of', though. So I'll excuse you on this occasion.

Precisely - it's East Buckingshamshire really. And as someone who grew up in proper Buckinghamshire I can assure you that is not a good thing

Yes I was entirely aware of that fact. But then as a Saffa you probably belong there anyway ;)

On another note proper cricket starts tomorrow. Big season for James Vince - seems like England have asked him to open for Hampshire with the idea that he'll bat there come August for England
