This is a real thing now isnt it. Its hitting me now. I might never be able to go to a place I have come to adore with all my heart and it saddens me to no end. I'm almost in tears now

Everything changes in afraid. If they get it right we should have a great stadium. Will never ever have the feel of white hart lane I'm afraid though

Fly over. It's not that hard. Get a league cup game if nothing else.

It's certainly a special place. I've only managed to get to a few matches over the years, and will cherish the memories. However, this is happening at exactly the right time for us. Whether or not it helps to take us to the next level (or at least to stay around the level we're already at), there would be supporters that would begin to resent the stadium as a symbol of what has held us back.

Can't wait for the new Lane. I've come to terms with the inevitable end of WHL, but still can't quite believe we'll soon have an amazing new stadium in its place.

Oh its not hard to fly over. Its hard getting vacation time. Im almost out this year. Im still trying to convince my boss to let my unused time from last year roll over because i still have to get out to Seattle to visit my step siblings i havent seen in a while

It's a service gantry in the north stand 'roof' to provide access between West and East stand sky lounges, the spectator seating for them is at the front of top level stand.

The north stand gantry would not give a good view and there are no sanitary services supplied there.

Could be used for staff purposes though during a game

Are your step-siblings getting knocked down this year to be replaced by new improved step-siblings? If not then you need to get your priorities right. If they are then how cool is that?

Now that we're here, in Tottenham, building an awesome new stadium, can any one of those who were in favour of Stratford tell me they regret how things have turned out?

You probably won't find anyone who'll admit to having favoured the Stratford option.

I favored the Stratford option at the time. I'm glad we stayed in Tottenham now, but then it seemed like the council were being uncooperative, and we'd already waited an age for nothing to happen.
At that time a new stadium was my priority above all else, including location.
I'm glad we were forced to wait now as our new stadium seems quite a bit better than its 2008 iteration. Conversely if everything had gone smoothly, and we had built the old Stadium by 2013, would we be a true powerhouse by now? An unanswerable conundrum.

As blinkered as it may sound I'd rather come 2nd in Tottenham than first anywhere else. Our history is part of what makes us and the opportunity to win at our spiritual home is a wonderful thing.

A spanking new football stadium on its own island in the Olympic park at the hub of all transport systems in London was worth moving to Stratford for bearing in mind that Haringey council was completely unsupportive and other sites we may have been considering were worse.
Fortunately Tottenham went up in flames which changed the whole landscape, got the local MP involved the mayor's office throwing money at the area and Haringey council onside not to mention we fouled up West Ham's plans for a new build so I actually don't regret it.

Hmmmmm! Don't regret it? Is that an admission then? If so ....... bloody well done! :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: Just for the avoidance of any possible doubt, that WAS a joke! :cautious:

It's a moot point, because there isn't a development in London where things "went smoothly" in the sense you mean. It never happens; it isn't possible.The English planning system makes it impossible. I was posting 7+ years ago that it would take us 7+ years to get this built and everyone told me I was being pessimistic. It's always like this. Even building 5 flats turns into a multi-year saga.

The result of the riot was that it made funding available for a neighbourhood-wide regeneration programme. The obvious centrepiece for that was the stadium development and that unquestionably ratcheted up Haringey's enthusiasm for the project several notches.

But it is false to state that the council were being obstructive prior to the riot. They were doing their job, which was to vet a major development proposal - specifically, their job was to require the developer to provide the planning benefits (such as affordable housing) that were mandated by the policies of the time - before Mayor Johnson and the coalition government removed and diluted many of those requirements, especially those related to affordable housing.

Prior to the riot, the council were guardedly supportive in private and neutral in public. After the riot, when the regeneration funding appeared, they became cheerleaders for the NDP.

So not completely unsupportive then just not helpful.
