ha ha this pace is NUTS!!!
Aye. But if we have to stay in `tottenham`, just because of the name, it doesn`t give us much scope does it. Especially since probably 95% of our home crowd dont actually live in `Tottenham`. We are SPURS. Tottenham just happens to be the area in which the club was born and grew up. I`m not advocating we move to bloody Cornwall, just to a more practical site within our modern heartland. Anyway, from my experience, most of the peasants in and around WHL dont give a fuck about the club. I`ve even heard that one or two support Woolwich and I personally know of one family who support Man Utd. Probably in the minority like, but I think we should to whats best for SPURS, not tottenham.
TFC, licking the windows of reason.
with that logic, they should move Old Trafford to Surrey.Aye. But if we have to stay in `tottenham`, just because of the name, it doesn`t give us much scope does it.

Not really, that would be like moving WHL to cornwall. But by your logic, Man Utd could legitimately build a new stadium within a 20 mile radius of there ground, so long as its in `manchester`. We, on the other hand, only have around a 2 mile radius, because we are ¬tottenham¬ Hotspur. The words noses and faces spring to mind.with that logic, they should move Old Trafford to Surrey.
so I take it you were pro-Stratford then?Not really, that would be like moving WHL to cornwall.

Fair comments - the point I keep making is that we will use various pricing and packaging structures - the actual amounts are pointless discussing in detail because it's a long time if ever that this stadium gets built.
I stand by everything I've said on this issue.
I was one of those who backed ENIC's decision to go to Stratford, and I don't back them a lot of the time. There they were right, it would have been a real boost for our club IMHO. Though I fully respect those who wanted to stay in Tottenham.
But as has been correctly said, most of our support doesn't live in Tottenham or indeed in Haringey.
There's an 'invasion' from the Home Counties and beyond every matchday. For many people it would have been easier to get to Stratford. But more important than that, we'd actually be seeing a stadium starting to rise up now, not a supermarket, again IMHO.

It would have cut journey time for me on a train by about 40 minutes moving to Stratford. Didn't mean I was interested in the move.
Could see the potential (and they were only potential, not guaranteed) benefits of doing it, but it just wouldn't feel right. We aren't a franchise, we are a football club from N17.

Woolwich were a football from South London, they've been the most successful club in London over the past 100 years. Chelsea, IIRC, were a bit of a manufactured club, who play in Fulham, they're now the second most successful club in London. Mainly on account of being a franchise of a Russian businessman.
City are an outpost of Dubai, who moved to a former athletics stadium and now are totting up more trophies than us in recent years.

...and you want to follow in their footsteps. Chelsea stand for everything that is wrong with football nowadays.
Not even gonna bother anymore with this arguement.

If that is the case, why aren't they doing it now (FC Basel)
I would love for us to follow in chelsea's footsteps, in fact I wanted RA to take us over rather than them
RA is a 10 times better chairman/owner than ENIC and then some
Fair enough if you don't wish to continue the argument, and I respect the opposite point of view on this and related matters
i don't understand this post, but just want to check if it's aimed at me.
Not aimed at you specifically, not sure why you're worried it is. It's aimed generally at the whole thread/the posts (including mine). It's pretty much self-explanatory
Question: Are you in fact a robot?
Give Levy and RA the same amount of money, i'm taking Levy everyday. The only appeal to me about RA is the money. I don't want Tottenham to become what Chelsea has become.
