The West Ham bid is superior in every way. Hopefully they will get it and then the NDP will be a Phoenix from the flames.
Whilst is claims to retain the athletics legacy, it is definitely not superior in every way.

What way in particular is it superior?
Let me rephrase that. Hopefully the decision makers see it as superior in every way so we don't have to change our name to East London Hotspur.
Ugh, our only hope now rests with the OPLC. That's depressing, but hopefully they come through, because ENIC and Levy fucking well aren't. I've been a staunch supporter of ENICs regime. When people make comments questioning their commitment to the team, slandering the way they target players and criticising their treatment of managers, I've always stood up for ENIC and Levy especially, because I've always believed that they had us at heart, behind the money, and I've always believed that we were progressing with them and would continue to. I still do in actual fact, and I will still go loyally even if we are in East London, but it will not be the same and I will not be a supporter of ENIC any more. This entire escapade has shown me that they really don't care, and as far as I'm concerned Levy has lost what I always believed set him apart from the majority of other Prem Chairmen, because I believed he was one of us.
I'll be completely honest, I would far prefer to stay at WHL at any cost, even if it means residing in our beautiful little stadium till the end of time. It wasn't too small a stadium to see us demolish the champions of Europe, or beat our two London rivals twice in the space of a few days. It wasn't too small for Berbatov to put four past Reading or Defoe to put five past Wigan. It certainly wasn't two small for Robbie Keane to score a century of goals in our shirt, or for Ginola to give me three years of pure unadulterated joy. The only thing White Hart Lane is too small for is Levy's ego, which if he put it to one side for just a moment he'd realise that the pain and suffering he'd cause so many fans of the club he's meant to himself love is just not worth it. I do get that the Eastward move will be immensely cheaper, and in fact probably free given the amount of Land in Tottenham we have acquired and will be able to sell. Hell, we might even spin a profit. I understand all that, but for me it's just not right. Fine, NLD is too expensive, the council aren't helping. Then just stay as you are and be happy in what is already the greatest stadium in England, the world famous home of the Spurs!
Tottenham, however, can just fuck off.
Moving out of North London would be nothing short of staggeringly obnoxious. There are so many fans opposed to this. To say 99% of us are supportive of the move is staggering. Ridiculous. Absolutely down right rude.
"Nobody else is going to pump 250 million pounds into this part of London," Collecott said. "It doesn`t take a genius to realize it's not the nicest area. It could be the start of much- needed regeneration for this part of north London."
But more will follow the club. There are a vocal minority that are N17 or nowhere. Most would prefer N17 but will still go to the OS
Why would we have to do that?
We may well lose the OS and still leave N17, hopefully.I don't see that we can move out of Tottenham with all the downside we will cause to N17 and the surrounding area while still misrepresenting ourselves as Tottenham Hotspur. As I have said hopefully we will lose the OS bid so that won't be a issue.
If the Spammers get it, will the good old east end boys sell up.Based purely on the respective Evening Standard articles, Levy would win.
