Good stuff. Does anyone know what the plans for Spurs Lodge are once this new development is complete? Presumably it's being sold to a residential or commercial property developer?
DL prob sold it to the Spammers so they could have somewhere decent to train for a small fortune

I'm curious regarding how they intend to irrigate the pitches. With drought conditions having just been officially declared as early as February, FFS, in London and most of the Southeast and East Anglia, we can expect to have restrictions on the use of hosepipes and sprinklers. The latter are especially inefficient and wasteful, as much of the irrigation water evaporates before it gets to the roots.
I wonder if they'll be installing a sub-surface "leaky hose" drip irrigation system to get around the problem and also storing rainwater from that great expanse of roof to use in irrigation. Both would be good ideas for the future, as droughts are becoming near-annual occurrences in the Southeast now.
Droughts in February and torrential rain in July...theres no shortage of water where i'm at Uni in Wales. Maybe I could collect it for Spurs.
It wouldn't surprise me. Environmental organisations like the RSPB have been building features like this into their visitor centres for some years now, partly as an example for architects.
POTL on COYS...
This facility is going to be the best facility built in Europe to date.
It will give us the best chance of attracting the best youngsters in the world, to the best players on the planet. We will be able to rehab quicker than other clubs, and provide the best facilites that will be uncomparable to anywhere else. The place is absolutely unbelieveable, no expense has been spared here whatsoever. From the youth to the 1st team facilities, fantastic. The whole aspirational approach, from being a kid to working your way up and around the complex to the 1st team is top notch.
Anyone who gets the opportunity to see it will be impressed beyond belief- with this training ground, the new stadium on the way, the excellent financial situation situation the club is in, and the way it is run, not to mention the top players we already have at this club- within 5 years we could be one of the top clubs in the world.

Up until now there has been a real drought of information regarding rainfall and irrigation-related issues on SC. Pleased to see this finally being addressed. It's like GCSE geography lessons all over again.
