Nobody has been able to answer my simple question. If anything it has made some of the fans on your board look like complete idiots.

P.s "shocker".

Please do offer the advantages. Nobody has been able to do so yet.

More home fans and less away at Wembley than at new WHL yet they didn’t have home advantage
======
Yeah, don't let them fool you. They had twice as many home fans and generated millions in match day revenue.

Truth is Wembley was a huge advantage to Spurs and a yoke on the opposition when compared to WHL.

Roll on the toilet bowl.

While Spurs fans will feel like they are properly back at home, the players still need to get used to their new surroundings properly. New playing surface, new pitch dimensions (?), different sounds, the players might have used things around the old WHL to determine whereabouts they were if they had their back to goal for example. All little things, but things that they were used to and felt comfortable with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New surroundings? It’s same pitch you stupid pr11ck.


Do some basic research you dumb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Except that the pitch @ WHL was 100m x 67m whereas the new pitch is larger (105m x 68m) due to meeting PL standard pitch sizing.

How fuсking dumb do you have to be to tell someone to do some basic research and yet your own information is total bolloсks.

If brains were dynamite you wouldn't even have enough to part your fuсking hair.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go and play in the traffic, freak.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So NOT the same pitch then you stupid fuсk.

My work here is done.

I just asked my scouser co-worker his opinion. He has more than 6 brain cells you see

He goes to a few games a season when he can.

He would never call Goodison his home ground. No self respecting Liverpool fan wouldAnfield always is, and always will be Liverpool's home. Anyone who says any different is either a troll, or a part-time armchair fan

Also, Wembley never was Tottenham's home. A temporary stay (as if you went to a hotel for a few days, it's never home) - good analogy. Our actual home was under construction. Renting somewhere temporarily is not the same as being at home.

There we have it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with what you're saying doovde, but equally the advantages of playing at home are the crowd, better facilities and history.

2 of those you maintained by playing at Wembley and the history aspect you had lost by virtue of moving to a new stadium anyway. If white heart lane was undergoing some maintenance work then I'd agree but it's entirely new stadium that just happens to be in the same location.

Like Wembley, it probably won't feel like home for a while either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you

Someone other than a Liverpool fan gets it. What a shocker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So you agree. There are no advantages to playing at the new stadium compared to Wembley. So Spurs chances are no better because they get to play at "home" next season.

That was all you had to say.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just the regular HOME advantage.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But with new surroundings that they need to get used to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Such as? 🤷🏾‍♂️
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new stadium.

Yeah, he's wumming. No one is this thick.

The same pitch

Have you actually been to their new stadium?

If you genuinely cannot see any difference between a matchday at that stadium vs a matchday at Wembley then I think it's not worth my time in trying to explain it.

Go back and read Devonshire's comments, he summed it up pretty well and if you don't get it after that then I shall give up as it will go on all day...well until I finish work anyway.

What advantage does that give to the team? Do they play better because the fans are more comfortable?

I think people make the assumption that just because Wembley had a bigger capacity, it was a major advantage for Spurs. However, as ST holder who moved from the old WHL to Wembley and now the new WHL I can assure you it honestly wasn't.

People forget the impact on moving to Wembley was so un home like it was unbearable. All the lads I stood with every week were like my Spurs family. When the atmosphere was rocking, we all had our part to play collectively. At Wembley, we were put in similar areas but effectively "split up". No set of fans could generate the same atmosphere and this will ultimately impact the team.

If, for example, you moved Liverpool fans who stand in the Kop to other areas, this would impact the atmosphere.

The tradition of an old style stadium with loyal and experienced fans will make a major impact. Wembley split the fans and also allowed tourists to sit in amongst those loyal fans who were split.

We will find it again at the new WHL and already the signs are promising. But I am sitting around a whole new group of people (except my pals who go with me) and we are still in the early stages of getting to know each other etc.

Anyone who think the stay at Wembley was beneficial to us has never been a longstanding ST holder who has experienced the change. It really does make a big difference.

Liverpool fans who laud the atmosphere at Anfield, a traditional compact stadium, who claim those big European atmospheres under the lights cannot be beaten.....fail to understand that if they moved all their fans to a different stadium, a temporary notional 'home', more than twice the size, threw in 20k corporates and load of toursist, and dispersed all ST holders, and then had them sat another 15m from pitch, that perhaps, just maybe, there's a teeny weeny chance that the atmosphere might suffer....that if you drag your loyal fans to the other side of the city in to a crappy soulless corporate stadium that isnt the clubs established home and have them queuing for 1.5 hours to get a train out at FT, that may be just perhaps there is a teeny weeny chance that actually fans will tire of this experience and atmopshere might suffer as a result.

May be they cannot relate directly with this experience but it doesnt take a frickin brain surgeon to grasp the simple concepts.

He mentioned benefits to the fans, but the whole original point is advantage to the team.

Nobody has been able to articulate any advantage to the team from the move.

You don't think fans contribute. They have no effect on the players? or what happens on the pitch.

Ever heard of "the twelfth man"

Do you need this explaining to you. Are you that simple?

As I said, waste of time trying to explain it if you genuinely don't understand it.

Those bin dippers saying Wembley was a huge advantage maybe compared to the old WHL financially by accommodating bigger crowds intially but from support pint of view, it never felt like home.

It’s like saying if Liverpool played at Wembley they would still benefit from it because the crowd number is bigger???
It’s not about crowd figure as much as what the stadium means.

Whatever 🤦‍♂️

The new season will be shortly upon us and I can’t wait

Very excited already with what Poch has got in store

Of course, some people have written us off already 🙄
We shall go on with the new season as we are accustom to do in the last five years
👍

You are joking right? A Liverpool fan that doesn't see the benefit a team gets from a cracking atmosphere? Those European nights at Anfield under the lights with the intimidating atmosphere?

Add to that the same routine travelling to and from the stadium and now doubt over familiariaties.

Seriously?
