Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Issue - Part I


What is the current status of the stadium issue?

Does anyone have a clear understanding of when the club's management is set to make a definite decision on whether Tottenham Hotspur will continue to play their football at White Hart Lane or elsewhere?

In this two part article about expanding or moving, we have contacted the club and other media sources such as the BBC. Both sources, we are glad to say, assisted us as much as they could.

In June 2005, the clubs supporters were told by Tottenham Hotspur chairman, Daniel Levy, "that White Hart Lane will not be redeveloped until the first-team squad has reached its potential, and we have a new and improved training center and academy".

Our chairman went onto add that "any future development depends solely on the transport authorities upgrading their systems in and around the Tottenham area."

Since those statements, the club have met with officials of TFL (Transport For London) and Haringey officials.

What was the outcome of these meetings? Tottenham Hotspur did not get the backing they needed from TFL. The council are fully aware that if the club were to move away from Haringey, the financial implications to the council would be huge, catastrophic even.

Daniel Levy has heaped an enormous amount of pressure on the council, even giving them an ultimatum; TFL place the required infrastructure in and around White Hart Lane, or the club look at other possibilities, one of which would be moving the club away from the London Borough of Haringey.

In part II of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Issue, I will discuss what moves the club has since made and where the club go from here.

Part II as been scheduled for publishing tomorrow.

  1. thank you! please continue with whatever leads you have. the fans have been crying out on concreate information on what is happening regarding the stadium.
  2. CANNOT WAIT FOR PART TWO WHEN YOU TELL US THAT THEY DEFERRED A DECISION BECAUSE OF THE CREDIT CRUNCH AND HAVE NOT SAID ANYTHING SINCE!

    I JUST CANNOT WAIT!

    WILL I BE ABLE TO SLEEP?
  3. I certainly won't be able to sleep.

    What a cad!
  4. Hey Slabber, if you're having trouble sleeping, take 2 Donormyl. You'll be off in no time.
  5. Nevertheless, it's an amazing piece of investigative journalism, utilising google to its full effect.

    This guy should be working for a broadsheet. He's wasted on this blog.
  6. I prefer tamazepam.
  7. I understand from a very trust worthy source that spurs will build at white heart lane but will twist the ground round. they are trying to buy all the buildings in Paxton road which will allow this to go forward.
  8. does anyone know the progress of this new training facility they have been talking about doing for about 4 years?
  9. The credit crunch issue could work out to be a serious benifit in us getting a decent new stadium & a good price.

    I cant wait either but agree with the decision. :|
