    If we beat Derby and progress to next round of the EFL Cup... Should we draw Spurs away, it would be held at Wembley. Personally, still don't think they should have been given permission to use the national stadium..

    How many folk would go to Wembley to watch the 3rd round of EFL cup?

    Does it appeal to people just because it's Wembley or is it a bit of a let down?

    Plus, is it likely to be under £30 a ticket or would they fleece us with normal Wembley prices?

    It will probably not happen but if it did, think it takes the gloss off somewhat for me..

    Firstly, where else would they have played?
    Second, i wouldn't go, not on a weekday.
    And last, the prices they charge will be in line with what they would have charged at white hart lane.
    They are not fleecing the fans because they are at wembley.

    I'd probably go - but then Wembley for me is not that bad to get to even for an evening game
    It wouldnt seem right going there for a game like that though
    Much rather we got West Ham - I still cant picture how the stadium can work as a football stadium - only been there to watch athletics

    I would go.

    It will be cheaper than any league game this season with the exception of the terracing at Burton.

    I bet the owners were very pleased with the move.

    Well spurs fans have already complained about the price of their pre season tickets... normally they have charged a tenner.. but for the ones at wembley prices have started at £24..

    As for where they could have gone... Ground share with another London club, rivalry aside, it's their choice to build a completely new stadium in the same location as the current one!

    I've been a few times, twice for athletics, once for rugby league Aus v Eng.

    I've no idea what they've wasted £400m more of taxpayers money on converting it. Aside from an executive level shoehorned in for west hams benefit only, the only other thing is a slight extension of the roof and west ham branding everywhere. Theres a slight element of segregation, but very flimsy and can see why they had so much trouble to start with. £400m really doesn't get you much these days! Especially when we're paying for it.

    From a viewing perspective, it was ok, at least you've got views without obstruction unlike so many stands, but it would be well down my list for football grounds.

    Just this - Fulham ground shared with QPR a few years ago
    Tottenham could easily have shared with Arsenal or Chelsea or even Millwall

    It was practically rebuilt, it just looks remarkably similar to the Olympic Stadium with 20,000 less seats. Was obviously used recently for athletics but apparently it takes a few weeks to set it up for that.

    Chelsea and millwall are nowhere near tottenham. Imagine all the tottenham fans fitting in millwall's stadium, a few thousand season ticket holders pissed off there.

    West Ham's ground would have been the obvious choice, they did want to build on that line after all, plus it's publicly owned.

    I actually tried to look up that word in google..... it seemed so spectacular !
    Came back with zero results.
    Brilliant word though. (still don't know what you're trying to say)

    Both are closer than Wembley - the size of the new Den may be a valid point , but Arsenal and Chelsea are certainly big enough

    My best mate from Uni is a Spurs fan so I would certainly want to go and he could join me, but if it was mid week then there would be no way I could make it
