Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand
- Thread starter Jordinho
- Start date
For years they have been insisting to the Courts that they can only operate their business from that exact location in Paxton Road, but now suddenly anywhere in the North London / Herts border will do.
C*nts.
Looking at plans, pics, its going to be physically a lot bigger area

Surfing around t'internet I noticed this incredible Chicago hotel dedicated to sports... click on the < and > arrows on the photo to see some incredible photos.
That is the kind of iconic world class finish that our "stadium and hotel" complex will not achieve, ours will be more like a Travelodge cum Premier Inn.
But the games rooms, the rich history, dark wood, awesome stuff IMO.

That's very nice. A very classic 'old boys club' feel that is keeping with the building facade, but I'm not sure it suits a football arena.

How about the hotel?
I feel like we'll get a Premier Inn with Chirpy on reception.
I won't mention the old marble halls of Highbury as it would not be well received, but I've been to WHL and seen the navy and yellow striped carpet and waxwork Gary Mabbutt!

Yeah I could envisage the interior of a hotel in an old style similar to those images maybe echoing a theme around the double winning team, but if the outside looks like a giant glass rooster it would not really match.
Edit: I just read jaysea67's post above and well there you go. No hotel.
As jaysea has pointed out, there are currently no plans to develop a hotel in the immediate area (though that could, of course, change in the future).
But I suspect that you'll be very wrong about the finish of the stadium itself. Levy has already promised to deliver the stadium to the same high level as the universally acclaimed new training centre. And I think he's absolutely right to do so and will be true to his word in this respect. Going for the cheap option would not be the sensible course in this instance.
When it comes to the new stadium, Spurs needs a difference maker. We need something iconic and of high quality. It's the best hope we have of attracting the corporate pound in what will soon be an incredibly competitive London market. Already, there are Wembley and the Emirates. Soon to be joined by the Olympic stadium and, eventually, the redeveloped Stamford Bridge. And all of them are far better located and easier to get to for the vast majority of the biggest, most blue chip corporate clients. So our "product" needs to be better than the rest. It's vital. We will have anything up to 9,000 corporate seats to fill (depending upon the Populous redesign).
Not to mention, of course, that if anything is to come of this NFL link, it will only do so if they are sufficiently wowed by our plans. Otherwise, they'll just stick with Wembley.
So, thankfully, we simply can't afford to take the cheap option.
