Yea but what if it's Stratford Hotspur?
other clubs out there that play in an area that is not what their name says. So why would we be the first to come under this problem?

It will be London Hotspur if it happens and the council kick up a fuss....I'm almost convinced of this, makes a shitload of sense, next to the city with lots of hospitality, when foreign clients come over...why not take them to see "London's" team. Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, all have their own team/s - London is segmented to boroughs.
If Levy and co pull it off Spurs will become a MASSIVE side but at the cost of our soul, even the hardcore traditionalists up at Liverpool accepted it for success when they sold to the Yanks.
Again no ITK just opinion, I feel when you look at it now it makes a lot of sense for Joe Lewis, ENIC, Levy et al. and even moreso for Boris and the City of London.
Fuck knows! I've been trying not to think about it.
I wouldn't stop supporting the club, or anything as extreme as that. I would be extremely disappointed though. I feel Levy sees the OS as "the easy option" now. He doesn't have to raise the £450m to fund the NDP, and doesn't want to have the bother of having to worry about the parts of the plans which involve things other than the stadium (hotels, housing, etc etc).
There will be no more "North London Derby" no more taunts about "immigrant gypsy Arsenal down the road" - we'll be no better than them. No more The Pride of North London.
I would be sad, very sad. But the club exists beyond me and my feelings for it, and will no doubt tick along nicely regardless. So, no doubt, I'll get to Stratford when I can as I do with WHL.... or more, hopefully, if I can eventually live the dream and get that Season Ticket, eventually.
No shit
Cant be too careful especialy in the transfer window, people think everything is itk.
Think what you will now, if we win the bid you will see..
I think I'd probably watch a lot more porn on a Saturday afternoon.
But as that isn't a poll option, I'll go with Only to to away games at the present time.
Whether that includes going to Stratford, as that to me will be an away ground, I just don't know.
I hope this is not a decision I have to make in real life and that West Ham get given the OS, as I love my season ticket, the guys I stand next to (yeah, stand, fuck off Green Team), the pre and post match drinks, coming on here, reading Newsnow, the banter with rival fans, being able to strike up a two hour conversation with total strangers because we both love football.
That said, as you all know I am passionately for the NDP and against the OS, and the prospect of giving cash to someone, i.e. Levy, who has forced my into deciding whether to rip my heart out by giving up football or to abandon my principles kills me. That applies to buying away tickets as well.
Fuck, I don't know what I'd do.
Most people you ask who they support, say SPURS they dont say Tottenham Hotspurs
