Patient zero Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Tottenham's new stadium now just about rising above ground, I think they are still debating whether to move out for a season or demolish the North stand and play a season At WHL with 3 stands, that would give them enough space to fit the pitch in to the new stadium which they would play in its three-quarter built state the season after whilst finishing it off round them.

darklord Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 you would have thought they would have thought about that before starting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think moving out for a year would be the easiest all round though, rather than 2 years of reduced capacity and major disruption. Just not bothered...

southportdc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Those plans seem to say one season with full WHL, North stand knocked down and new pitch laid "out of season", then playing in a semi-complete new ground but still bigger than WHL the next season. Don't see where they say they'd be playing with a bit of WHL missing or at a reduced capacity compared to now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Moving grounds for a year would be pretty disruptive to, and would cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I mean, demolishing the stand, laying a pitch then building a new stand in the off season seems incredibly ambitious so Jackie's version would make more sense to me. But that doesn't seem to be the plan. Edited January 21, 2016 by southportdc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I read it as them knocking a stand down and laying a pitch down in one close season, which seems doable, then cracking on with building after that. What do I know though. I'm not Ossie Ardiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Could be. Must be a big grand if the capacity without that whole quarter is higher than the current stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal M Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Current capacity - 36,000 New Stadium (fully complete) - 61,000. So 3/4 of the new stadium should easily be bigger than the present WHL. Apparently they went with a 61k capacity simply to out do Arsenal. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 In tonight's Evening Standard it suggests that both Spurs and Chelsea could be wanting to relocate to Wembley at the same time, with Chelsea having the upper hand because of their financial clout, and Arsenal refusing to share with either. I'd quite like to see Spurs end up having to play at somewhere like Barnet or Dagenham & Redbridge for a season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 MK is miles away. Would be better at Palace. Watford or even Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I live in a spurs/arsenal area and spurs fans really do remind me of Sheffield United. Same here. When Spurs played them in the League Cup Semi-final last year I was torn between getting the Tube home from work and getting mixed up with the Blunts who'd be arriving via St Pancras, or the Spurs fans who'd be on the National Rail from Liverpool St. I chose Liverpool St because I can just about tolerate Spurs fans...and then I found that my train was teeming with Blunts who'd got lost and ended up in the wrong part of London.
