    I suspect it's nailed on that our first Premier League match will be away at the Olympic Caravan Park.

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    The inside isn't almost perfect unless you like the restricted view in the East Stand. You appear to think that "compactness of fans" is somehow a good thing. I beg to differ. If you need to be pressed against other bodies to feel and generate atmosphere then I sympathise. The rake of the lower...

    It's not even a quango: it's a Government Department. If Boris Johnson hadn't cleared his approval with the relevant government departments before publicly issuing it, my gast would be flabbered.

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    You're not taking into account the 2003 £15 million Rights Issue which was specifically designated to be for Glenn Hoddle's transfer kitty. Take that away and ENIC have done little more than just about break even since they arrived in 2001. Some may be disappointed in that. Others may think...

    My house is an investment and a home. If I don't sell, then my heirs will reap the benefit. That should be blindingly obvious. Just because I have not created a company to hold the investment does not make it any less an investment, any more than my use of it does. My view of ENIC's strategy is...

    I believe they are not looking to sell and would continue to discourage approaches, as they have done already, unless circumstances change drastically for ENIC. You believe their end game is to sell, but they are not looking to sell (which seems remarkably like a contradiction to me). I don't...

    "When we are in the CL regularly". I hope you're right, but we are not there yet. "Because they could get the majority of that pot of gold now". How? When we don't have a new ground yet and are unlikely to get it for two years at the earliest, and we haven't been in the Champions League or its...

    Surely the only time a prudent investor would sell would be when they think that they can't gain any advantage from keeping and working their investment, or that the sale price exceeds that advantage? Do you think that ENIC are prudent investors? If so, what is it in Tottenham Hotspur's...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    If Tottenham get full amended NDP planning permission by February 2016, then the club should try for Wembley for two seasons: 2016-17 and 2017-18. This gives two whole seasons plus May to July 2018 for the new stadium to be ready for use, rather than working on part of the site for one season...

    General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    He used to play? According to wikipedia: Jonathan Pearce (born 28 November 1959, Plymouth), is a British football commentator. Pearce wanted to become a footballer, but his career was ended after he broke his leg in 1974. So his "football career" (no clubs mentioned) lasted until he was 15. But...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Good point, but the more I think about it, the more I think it is the sort of thing that will happen whatever it's called. You only have to the recall the warped imagination of the cretin who compared the new stadium to a toilet bowl. His (or her) mind must be very troubled. The good thing about...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Your memory on the matter is different from mine. As a supporter attending White Hart Lane on a regular basis since 1956, the existence of the "Shelf" as a specific entity was, in my experience, something and nothing until about 1987 when the disastrous East Stand Redevelopment was due to take...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I accept it's more than a little pretentious, like the Theatre of Dreams, and the Stadium (and Academy) of Light, but a lot of Tottenham fans have pushed for a single tier stand, and to give priority in that stand to those who want to sing and make a noise, presumably in support of the team. It...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I thought of this when I raised the matter, but dismissed it because the new stand cannot in any way be described as a shelf, since it is single tier, whereas the original shelf actually looked a little like a shelf because although it was on the lower level, it was separated by steps and a wall...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    The last thing anyone should call the single tier stand in the new stadium is "Kop", for the obvious reason that it has no connection with the club. Just as the Shelf was at Tottenham and the Shed was at Stamford Bridge and the North Bank was at Highbory, the new stand should have a name of its...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Tottenham became part of the London Postal code N in 1857 (later subdivided in 1917, when Tottenham became N17). That's good enough for me to think we've always been a ( or rather "The" ) North London Club.
