Inside Sport re: Our stadium plans

[TheChosenOne]

From todays Times...

During the Second World War, football grounds, especially those in big cities, were put to many uses. The East Stand at White Hart Lane, Totten-ham, was used as a mortuary for victims of the Blitz. Elsewhere in the ground, gas masks were made and people who were evacuated from the area in North London used the buildings to store their furniture. When High-bury was damaged, Spurs opened their doors to arch-rivals Arsenal so that they had somewhere to play matches.

I never knew that !

I knew about this, but more disturbing is that apparently during the first world war we moved into the library.

Just goes to show who the decent ones are.

wow a third thread about the ground, all on the same page.

big applause

Bah

 

[worcestersauce]

So nothings changed.

They have dressed it up to give the impression that the club has muted all this but just read through it and all the club has said in effect is that they are saying nothing until next year, other than that they have said nothing, they haven't said expansion of WHL even though it's written for us to infer that so it's the same as before.

 

[mkkid]

Extension of WHL will be good but the two years sharing will be terrible. Firstly there is the fact we will be playing a shitty Upton Park and secondly if we do play some at Wembley the prices will be astronomical.

Arsenal,West Ham and Wembley dont want us,i say lets share the mk dons. The stadium has great transport links a capcity of 32k.We could play the NL Derby at Wembley and as a added bonus,its 10 minutes from my house.
