Video: Pitchside at the new Spurs stadium south stand and safe standing seating

To say that supporters who have attended this morning’s first fan familiarisation event at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium have had a smile on their faces would be an understatement.

We have been sent a piece of footage that shows a supporter walking down the steps of the south stand to pitchside level. The proximity of the seats to the playing area is truly impressive, along with the view as the camera pans around

As he walks down the steps you will notice the safe standing rail seats in place.

Areas at the front of the stadium’s new 17,500 capacity single-tier South Stand, as well as in the visiting supporters’ section, have been future-proofed for safe standing – both are areas where the Club had issues with persistent standing when at its former White Hart Lane home.

App users, please click here to view the video and you may have to wait a few moment for the footage to appear.

Many thanks to Nige.
