So you haven't glanced towards the Hale over the last 18 months or so and wondered what those bloody great cranes and brand new tower blocks are doing down there?
Sorry old chap, I'm from Chelmsford so haven't been within the vicinity of the Hale for a while. Never mind we should have got in first a long time ago.
With your extensive knowledge of the area SS57, have you any ideas of any possible alternative sites for a new stadium?

Lovely post CosmicIt's ridiculous to say that those of who can no longer go to games don't care and I haven't been to a game there for some years now but I care passionately and I find the thought of Spurs moving out of the area, even out of WHL, quite upsetting.
I grew up around the Spurs ground and was inside and just outside it collecting autographs and getting to know the players for much of my schooldays. If I missed a game for any reason, I suffered real distress and probably had withdrawal symptoms, even if I didn't recognise them back then - it was a real addiction to support my team. My earliest memories, before my dad took me to some games in the 1950s, were of all the cars and coaches parked in our roads and the streams of supporters going to the game on foot and the look of anticipation and hope in their eyes as they made their way to the game.
Those of us with strong memories of the Lane do care even if we can now only watch Spurs play on TV or on-line, as I do nowadays.
Protests will have no impact. The ultimate decision will be based on financial security for the future of the club and those of us who remember the past and glory in N17 will have to adjust to that which will be much more difficult for us than for those without the memories.

Spurs bid getting backing from Athletes Eek At last someone realises that keeping the Olympic stadium is not a legacy, but that legacy is helping the small athletics clubs.
To those who are anti-Stratford:
It seems to me that you are too focussed on Stratford. Surely your campaign should be about staying in Tottenham? Emphasising staying in Tottenham is a positive thing that almost all supporters will be able to relate to and agree with to some degree. However, the fact you seem to be set to campaigning against Stratford turns you're whole message into a negative thing.
By putting emphasis on being anti-Stratford, you're alienating a large section of fans who would rather stay in Tottenham, but may see the practical aspects of moving. Aside from this, there is the consideration that if Stratford is a no go, Levy may still look outside the borough and you'd need a new campaign for each new venue.
I would argue it's much more productive to be pro staying in Tottenham thatn anti moving to stratford.
Next demo has been arranged for Bolton:
Main Gates: Midday until kick off.
Will that be 50 pissed blokes, some crap banners and a dog again or something a bit more well organised this time?
What is the qualifying criteria for a true fan.Stratford is the only alternative on the table. I personally would just about be able to stomach another sight in North London but why the NDP is viable I dont see the point of even looking.
Any where else and we will fight. This is not a campaign to alienate people but for all true Spurs fans to get together.
