I agree with that, but Levy certainly won't splash extra spondooly for a better atmosphere!!

All this appealing, there's got to be some banana, orange related gag in here somewhere.
Lucoz aid?

I'll get my coat.

Are you taking the pith? Bananas had an appeal. There was a split verdict.

Not totally.

Of course it would be better if standing also allowed, say, a 50% capacity increase in standing areas. But there would still be benefits to standing areas even if there is no increase in capacity.

Lots of people prefer to stand and they cannot currently do so. Or, at least, if they do do so, they do so at the expense of those who wish only to sit. Safe standing areas would solve both problems. Those who wish to stand would be able to do so. Those who wish to sit would be able to do so without having their view blocked by others persistently standing in front of them. Win / win.

I believe he would.

For starters, the extra cash required would be comparatively minor.

More importantly, we shouldn't underestimate how important a stadium with a good atmosphere could be to the club's finances. Corporate seats at sporting venues are generally taken so that companies can treat their clients / suppliers etc to the experience of the "event". And the more impressive the atmosphere, the more the "event" seems like an "event" and, therefore, the more valuable and in demand the corporate seats become.

The same applies to ordinary seats, particularly with reference to football tourists. We may mock or deride such "fans" but when we have a 61K stadium to fill for maybe 30 games a season, they will be an important source of revenue.

It's probably also fair to say that, if every other club adopts safe standing, Spurs will not wish to be the only club without.

No, it states that the appeal was rejected and is simply showing the 'window' for appeal, not an application

I hope you're right on all counts.

I think it's irrelevant as the case status said it's been rejected?

Had to go back and read these bits in a scouse accent.

Tottenham Hotspur shortlists four contractors for stadium

Sir Robert McAlpine, Bouygues, Balfour Beatty and Laing O’Rourke await tender process for £400m scheme
Tottenham Hotspur football club has shortlisted four contractors to build its state-of-the art £400m stadium.
Sir Robert McAlpine, Bouygues, Balfour Beatty and Laing O’Rourke have been approached by Spurs about building the 58,000-seat stadium, Spurs’ project director for the stadium Paul Phillips has told Building.
Phillips said a tender process for the job would begin once the club has secured all the land necessary for the project.
Sources close to the project have tipped Sir Robert McAlpine - which built the Emirates Stadium for Spurs’ fierce rivals Arsenal, and the London 2012 Olympic Stadium - for the prestigious job, but Phillips denied there was a frontrunner.
He said: “Sir Robert McAlpine will be on anyone’s shortlist for a stadium, but to say they are lined up is totally incorrect.”
Spurs’ efforts to amass the land for the project moved a step closer last week when the High Court rejected an appeal by local landowner Archway Sheet Metal Works against a compulsory purchase order (CPO) for its site, which stands in the way of the planned stadium.
But Phillips cautioned Archway could appeal again to the Court of Appeal, and said the planned tender process would wait until this legal process had come to a conclusion.
He said: “We’re not able yet to go out to tender. I wouldn’t be credible as a client without the land confirmed, particularly as contractors are picking and choosing what they bid for.” One source close to the project suggested the construction contract would be worth between £275m-£300m. Phillips declined to comment on the potential contract value.
The legal wranglings with Archway Sheet Metal Works over the CPO have already forced Spurs to delay its move to its new stadium to the 2018-19 season, rather than the 2017-18 season.
The project team includes architect Populous, engineer Buro Happold and cost consultant EC Harris.

Nah! it's just a building industry magazine/blog they don't know anymore than we do.

I see this:

Case results:
Dismissed on 02-Feb-15

I could be wrong, but I think that is the dismissal of the high court appeal, but they could still appeal that appeal, which the window for appeal starts on the 4th and ends on the 25th, according to that site. Meaning Archway will file something asking for permission to appeal the rejected appeal on the 25th.
