Heard some interesting gossip this morning. Mate's dad was in church at the weekend and sitting near/next to the owner of Archway. The Archway owner was chatting to his mate/relative, and my mate's old man overhead their discussion on the new stadium. Apparently after numerous discussions, Spurs had offered £10m for Archway to fuck off, but they were still holding out for £13m. As result of the CPO decision, they are getting the sum total of £3m from Spurs to jog on.

LMFAO.

They won't be left with very much once they've paid the Secretary of State's legal costs

If true, it just goes to show the hypocrisy in their 'little guy against the evil corporation' line.

They absolutely waited until they were the final property in the way to kick up a fuss and make extortionate demands.
Their legal advice (up until recently of course) has been cack.
 
Tottenham Hotspur haven't exactly been forthcoming with details about the new stadium, but some details have emerged courtesy of the Haringey Council planning website. The website, which posts publicly accessible documents pertaining to public works projects in the Haringey Borough, includes numerous documents about the Northumberland Development Project, and specifically the new stadium.

In a NDP update posted in late March, Tottenham noted proposed changes to the original stadium plans, first submitted in 2010. These changes included the addition of a basement level for parking and other services and subsequent minor changes to the ground floor level. The documents on the Haringey Council site represent Tottenham's formal request to the Haringey Council to amend the original stadium plans. In the Haringey documents, a noteworthy addendum, dated April 2015, confirms the addition of a below-ground parking level and also include technical diagrams of the proposed basement and ground floor levels. The non-technical summary provides descriptions of the proposed changes. Quoted in part:

3: Description of the Changes to the Project

  • The design team have been undertaking a study to optimise the ground floor layout, it has also been established that there is a need for additional changing facilities on the ground floor level. In order to both optimise the ground floor layout and accommodate additional changing facilities a total of 259 of the total 319 car parking spaces will be reallocated to the new basement. It should be noted that no additional car parking are sought.
  • A new basement is proposed to be located below the north, east and west stands. It will be a single storey basement with an area of approximately 19,618sqm. The basement will remain as that which was previously assessed, i.e. from Worcester Avenue to the east of the Stadium.
The club continues to emphasize that no overarching design elements were altered in this proposal and asks the council to approve the amendments as they are not substantial enough changes to warrant re-evaluation of the entire project. (Note also that these proposed changes and their impact on the overall project were one of the arguments that Archway Sheet Metal used in their legal defense against Spurs' compulsory purchase order of their land.)

These reports are pretty dry and unfortunately don't tell us a whole lot more than what we already knew, but for those who enjoy reading through environmental impact studies, construction planning documents, and legalese, these documents are an absolute gold-mine. And if nothing else, the images included give a pretty good indication of the overall shape and look of the new stadium. (It's a rough oval!) That a new stadium is almost certainly now a reality should be grounds for excitement.

Below ground parking? Its basically a hollowed out volcano!
 
Slightly off Topic...but anyone see West Spams comments yesterday in regards to them facing a potential massive bill on their super duper new home ?

The official statement ( shortened ) reads as follows;

"West Ham United are confident that it's deal with the LLDC complies with all relevant UK & European Legistlation........

The agreement will see West Ham make a substantial contribution to the conversion works for a Stadium IT MAY ONLY RENT UPTO 25 MATCH DAYS PER YEAR.......

What a load of dumb fuckers they really are....no assets, poor revenue stream & a two bob share of catering revenue is their future. What amazes me is just how many 'ammers fans bought into this massive lie & did not spot that they had been assest stripped.

As bad as ENIC might be in regards to selling our players, they never considered selling our ground !
 
Karen Brady saying they are reducing their season ticket prices because of the new TV deal and the moral obligation to protect the average fan...............so, not because you're struggling to sell them then?......
