I don't care about ground sharing anymore, if it means we get the stadium built. Be fun sharing with Spammers - comparing our attendance at 'home' games with theirs.

 

[Mullers]

Ground sharing with Chelsea or Arsenal would be fun.

 

[Bennys LOL]

gota do whats got to be done, makes more sense than building a stadium to play in while we build our stadium .. well it does lol

 

[LSUY]

Ground share with Arsenal. Then we can have an unofficial competition during our last game there to see who can leave the best 'gift'.

Makes sense to share stratford

 

[bigspurs]

I reckon it would be QPR

Should be Wembley

No one will want to ground share with spurs. The other London clubs will want our fans travelling as far as possible to go to matches.

As far as I see it if we put forward a proposal to ground share the Olympic Park whilst our stadium is developed the Spammers would not have the say so on whether that should be ruled in or out they are merely tenants, or they should not have the final say so.

They do not own the Olyimpic Park the Olympic Park Legacy company do, and there would be a stronger argument that it represents better value for the taxpayer.

It would also piss on the Spammers parade and fan fare.

I vote we share the emirates

We can dismantle their stadium whilst we are building ours

Should be Wembley

Wembley would be awesome, and insanely good to see 80,000+ Spurs supporters at our games. Atmosphere would be electric (as long as we are winning and playing well ).

Wembley would be great. Would give an opportunity to see how many tickets we could actually sell over a season. If most games were over 60k might give thought to future expansion.

When was the last electric atmosphere at Wembley? That new stadium is more reminiscent in atmosphere to a morgue!!

Yeah was factoring in the 'Spurs Effect' which I know is a load of tosh, but hey, I will keep optimistic

Well when England are playing at home, yes.

When ground sharing with the Arsenal was suggested years ago (when we were in the Second Division) the comedian Peter Cook suggested the smell would be a problem. We would have to clean the ground with Brut and Ajax after every game. Nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Roynie]

It will all depend on the finances. There will be a calculation of the costs of the ground share, with respct to the amount of money lost from not using our own ground and paying out rent for the ground share, against the extra income from finishing the new stadium early. It's Levy there will be no emotion it will be a financial calculation. Simples ..... !

Great I'll put a note in my diary for 2035. The rate we're going West Ham will ground share with us when Stratford gets a refit.

Peter Cook... great man, funny man, Spurs fan... drank too much, died too young... wish he were still around.

Realistically, could we fill Wembley? And with a 54,000 capacity, could we fill the Olympic Stadium on a regular basis? Genuine question... don't know the projected attendance figures were we not limited by WHL's size.
