o wait... no... thats not what I meant... I think we already own the land north of Paxton Road but before the N17 studios... i.e. up until the next white line on that map!

You highlighted it in 2 sections, what we own and what we need.

Mine is just where we could be moving to

Or somewhere else?

How many people are you hoping to fit in our new stadium Stoof?? Comparing satellite views on google maps its the same if not a tad bigger than Wembley. We all love Spurs but 80,000+ could be a little optimistic :think:

Draw another circle underneath Stoof!!!!

150,000 all seater. Eek

:lol:

It was a general area, not a suggestion of the footprint our new stadium would consume. Cheeky so-and-sos. :wink:

I'm with you Stoof - 150,000 yiddo's in a new WHL, screaming our heads off. Now that's what we want.

Anything less than a 100,000 seater stadium and I'm going on strike. Oh, and it would be the dog's nuts if we could have one end standing only..............

I was serious Stoof :wink:

Fuck it, lets think big.

Imagine the mighty Spurs with a huge maricana style stadium and sexy trophy winning football, with the goons wetting themselves as we conquer all before us.


****** Where's those men in white suites. :whistle: ********

I hada chat with a couple of the Spurs staff with the reserves tonight, and they were quite sceptical of the West Ham groundshare idea. So it could be a cover for a delayed new stadium (as described above) and we play in wHL for another 3-5 years while the damn thing is built.

That'll do me as I've already said BOF :) please no temporary groundshares -

I hope that's right BOF

Would mirror what is happening with Liverpool who have a 4 year stadium build whilst continuing to play at anfield.

Not any more, apparently the plug's been pulled because the Texas cowboys can't raise a loan, all down to the credit squeeze they said.
I reckon all is not well in the Alamo!

I read about it yesterday, just looked again for the piece and this is the latest, they are now saying it's to be downgraded citing spiralling costs(of credit presumably)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/7148782.stm


I apologise if I'm out of date but this still sounds a bit like they are putting a brave face on it.

Cheers for that, it's really interesting.

I am glad that we don't have similar leveraged style ownership that Utd and Liverpool have.

I am not very clued up on these things but presume that the current credit crunch is not helpful to them?

I guess a loan of that sort would be sub-prime as the physial collateral is less than the loan as most of it is based on future earnings and hoped for success and so they may not be able to pay it back.:)

from Glory Glory...

Fan’s really don’t want to share with West Ham. The travel connections are even worse than WHL. Are there any truth to these rumours &/or alternatives should we have to move away from WHL for any rebuilding work?
DL – If we should, and I’m not saying we will, have to ground share at all then theoretically how would people feel about sharing with Arsenal. Which would they prefer?
Me – Well I actually did an article on this, asking people to think with their head rather than their heart and you’d be surprised to percentage of people that said sharing the Emirates would be the preferable short term option with regards to increased capacity meaning more revenue and an increase in season tickets. http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/blogs/...groundshare-use-your-head-not-your-heart.aspx

Its kinda topical...

and he kinda steers round the question :lol:
