What is the difference between MK Dons and Brighton? Why do people have an issue with going to MK but not Brighton?

Couple of things...
Do all the people saying "Why don't we just redevelop white hart lane", seriously think Levy and the other board members are sat around a table face palming, saying "Shit why didn't we think of that..."
which leads me to point 2...
We'd be in the exact same situation we are in now, because...
I'm fairly certain you can't play in a half built premier league ground due to some PL rules, meaning we'd have to have a season away while they build it. This would mean they would need to rebuild the whole thing in the space of around 14 months. (End of may after our last season until beginning of August a year later)
Which means we'd still have all the same shit because Archway is right fucking behind the stand and would have to be moved out of the way no matter what happens.

Are you from Saffron Walden mate?
Who moves into their 50,000+ seat stadium first, us or QPR at Old Oak Common?

If if makes them wait 18 months as well might well be us

It was interesting to note that THFC acknowledged that the partnership with Madrid is not active at this time, I think it is dead and buried!
But we'll continue to sell them our best players. Once they've got Lloris there isn't anyone else they'd want.
I do remember Woolwich had to overcome a lot of opposition to their stadium being built. The majority was residents but also one of the last great Irish boozers which now lies under the walk way and shit flats by Hornsey Road, it is not that unusual to face opposition but this seems excessive.
Could we not ground share with Orient?

The favourite?
The one and only. Best live Irish music in all of North London, and a tragic back story.
From Board Meeting Minutes
- Regarding the outstanding CPO on Archway Steel, THFC said all efforts had been made to reach agreement with the Josif family over the past 12 years. Deals had been agreed only for them to be rejected at the last minute. Their intention was to cause delay. The Club said it has relocated over 70 businesses amicably but has been unable to accommodate Archway. Archway were now challenging the legality of the CPO in order to cause further delay. The High Court appeal is scheduled for 15/16 January 2015
- THST questioned whether the amount of money needed to buy out Archway Steel was significant when considered against the effect of delays and loss of revenue that failure to reach agreement had caused. THFC reiterated that this was not a straightforward matter of paying an excessive amount.

Didnt Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly play there back in the 70s?
Just a thought, because I have on many occasions.
How many of us attending 1.30 Sunday Ko's have been out on Saturday night till 4am and are nursing hangovers/resorting to hair of the dog?
Could this be a factor in our supposed lacklustre enthusiasm?
Something about Sunday KO's that just don't do it for me. It just ain't right.

Plans for a new players hotel at the Tottenham Hotspur training ground in Hotspur Way, Enfield
Demands have been made to reject Tottenham Hotspur’s proposal to build a new players lodge on its training ground.
Protesters against the Premier League club’s training ground in Hotspur Way, in Bulls Cross, have called for a protection to green belt land in the borough as plans for a 45-room lodge are submitted.
The two-storey lodge on Myddelton Farm, adjacent to the multi-million training ground, were filed to Enfield Borough Council two months ago and could see further development on green land.
Stephen Collins, of Lavender Hill, Enfield, is appalled at what he says, is continued “slicing away” at green belt land.
He said: “Tottenham moved up there in 2007 and all they have done since is carve and carve away at the green belt.
“This would be another example and it is shame on Enfield Council who have continually let them build whatever they like, whenever they like.”
A new 500-seater stand and floodlights were agreed at the training ground earlier this year, much to the distain of people living nearby.
Mr Collins added: “People come to live in Enfield because you have a mix of suburban and countryside. The green land should be preserved and protected but this is not the case.
“Enough is enough and the council must put their foot down and stop Tottenham, who aren’t even a team playing in the borough of Enfield, building on more precious land.”
Despite the calls, the football team are insistent that the proposals are “sympathetic” to the environment.
A spokesman for the club said: “The Club has submitted a planning application to the London Borough of Enfield for an overnight accommodation Lodge for players and staff. The application is for Myddelton Farm, which the club has owned since 2007 and which sits adjacent to the Training Centre. We have worked hard with consultants to design a scheme that is both highly sustainable and sympathetic to its environment.
“We have held a series of meetings with local residents, groups and statutory organisations over the past few months in order to discuss and adapt the design in order to address any points raised.”
An Enfield Council spokesperson said: “We have received a planning application from Tottenham Hotspur regarding this matter and will be considering the application in due course.
“This application is subject to full public consultation, the results of which will be examined as part of the overall assessment of the planning application before a decision is taken but because of the quasi-judicial nature of the planning process it would be inappropriate to comment further on this matter at this time.”
The proposal is likely to go to committee in early 2015.
