New Stadium and Training Ground - Pg 104 Northumberland Park master plan

[yiddo2786]

This is Spurs - somehow you get the feeling that it will look great, but end up being 50 degrees Celsius in the summer

Or it will fall down in the wind

Or it will flood for half the year

There's gotta be some sort of **** up, we're Spurs

Redknapp won't rotate which training pitch we use, so come March it'll be totally fudged, and the other training pitches will have been loaned out to Wolves and Everton so we can't use them. He'll then ring up his dodgy New Zealander mate from Blackburn and ask if we can train in his run down old garden, but it won't be the same thing.

I'll bet it was that taco Redknapp's idea to have no water in the pool. Clueless.

:ross:

I have to admit, that did make me chuckle. Well played, sir.

Ledley must be soo excited!

Brilliant!! That pool looks tiny or is that guy just huge. I presume its going to be some sort of current pool with that opening at the end. Anyone know?

That was my guess

 

[tractorspur]

Yeah! And where's the bloody slide?

 

[Superhudd]

Maybe glass so trainers can check the shirkers with the knee up exercises

 

[Totting Them Up]

So the new training ground that's going to open means that our players are going to play for the shirt?

Or what?

What is the big step forward here?

If you told me that, like the Goons, we suddenly had a European standard stadium then I would be impressed.

What's the rumours about 63k capacity with a 'Wembley Way' style entrance?

Any more depth to it other that what GG tweeted??

Wasn't the stadium supposed to be finished by this season? Depressing.

it could have been, but im pretty sure it would fall over. dont you prefer a planned, designed and well executed stadium build with superb transfer links which comes in on or under budget? Because thats what didnt happen with Wembley, they made so many rushed decisions ( my fave is the laying electrical trunking wrong for 2 months, ripping it all out and spending another 2 doing it right because the deadline was looming, muchos overtime!), such an expensive over run.

True. And also the first estimates for when the stadium would be finished were estimates before we had pretty much any planning permissions. Not surprised at tall that there were delays from that initial estimate, seems to be more the norm than the exception when it comes to football stadiums that aren't being built for some international tournament.

 

[Leeds Spur]

The new training ground is absolutely world class.

A major pull for attracting players.

It's like a 5 star spa FFS!!

Probably not for this thread but what the heck...


Liverpool report a loss of almost ?ú50m for the last financial year as a result of failed new stadium costs and pay-offs to former manager Roy Hodgson and other staff.

More like because of paying huge transfer fees for players and havnig a Champions League sized wage bill without having Champions League football to sustain it!

 

[P.D.]

Well when are these results for? 2011 calendar year?

The SS are saying 35mil is money paid for the design of the new stadium which is not going ahead now. It was an asset on the books which now has been written off How plans can be counted as an asset I'm not sure but probably some fancy pantcy accounting thing. 8.5 mil on contract terminations, mostly Roy I would imagine. 6.5 mil on hubcaps and perms.

Excuse my ignorance but who is the SS?

 

[We are Tottenham]

Will the new WHL capacity be OK at 56000 ..or will it soon be realised after building that we could have easily bumped it up a couple of thousand or so with
our large fan base.
