Working down near Stockley Park today. Anyone want me to go and bang a few heads together?
If they have a suggestion box in the entrance........the VAR has 90 seconds to make a decision. If they can't decide within that period, the onfield decision stands. From this day forth, it will be known as the 'Tyrion rule' :ROFLMAO:

Is that how you moderate 😂
 
I didn't realise the toffees ground was all but ready .

Looks fantastic
Sounds like there are teething problems - as to be expected. The fanzone had a row of portaloos and the public transport network (train) couldn't handle the 10,000 for the test and people are worried when it needs to handle 5 times that.
That said, the stadium itself (and the food) looks great.

That's the whole point of doing test games to be fair. Find out the teething problems before the real thing. I'd hope the portaloos were temporary, don't know. If the fanzone is permanent, the facilities need to be as well. In terms of the transport in and out, I've said previously it looks a big problem but we keep being told all will be well. They have other test games and about 6 months to make sure it functions smoothly. Hopefully they get it right.

The ground itself looks fabulous. Hopefully we manage to keep the atmosphere that some big new grounds seem to have lost. People were talking just the other day about how soulless Spurs is. We want to avoid that.

The links don't always work tho, the OS has probably the best transport links out of every single stadium in the UK I think? Off the top of my head as you have 2 underground lines, the DLR, mainline, overground services , then other stations nearby

However it still has some made queuing system to get in due to the sheer number of people (doesn't help Westfield being there aswell so lots of non football people at the same time but is what it is)

Just need to find a system that works and bit of patience but even with all the links it still can be a slog

It’s a bit of a mess tbh.
They are trying to have an exclusion zone for traffic but the way it’s been built there’s a lot of small buisnesses on one side within 500yds of the stadium.
It’s where PXG have their fittings.

Far to many roadworks and a alternative one way system.
Needs a lot of sorting out.
But from Everton park it looks awesome .
 
I’m watching the Bayern v Celtic game on Prime with my lad and something has leapt out at both of us.

The managers’ technical areas are absolutely huge. Are they not a standard size throughout the game?
 
Fully expecting a hammering tonight from Liverpool.

Defence is in bits at the moment, barely a fit CB and even the guy covering in there has gone down injured now! :ROFLMAO:

Still, looking forward to a night under the lights at Villa Park and my customary midweek fixture chippy tea :love:
