Because that is a far too sensible idea. Plus it would wake up the "I hate (fill in space)" mob.

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 and the whole stadium for the second season. The use of Wembley should not be costly as we would have 50,000 seats and tailor-made corporate facilities to sell for those two seasons.
Chelsea won't be ready for Wembley in 2016-17, and quite possibly not in 2017-18. If they are ready for that second season, Tottenham will already be signed up and resident, and it would be share or nothing for them for their first season away from Stamford Bridge.
From the FA's perspective the certainty of two years' income from Tottenham would be weighed against the possibility of three seasons of income from Chelsea which they would probably get anyway, as Wembley is really the only game in town for Chelsea, since Twickenham has a Rugby pitch and the Olympic Stadium is a Heath Robinson monstrouserty as far as football is concerned.

I think that it would be a lot more costly than staying at WHL for 216/17

in what way?

I would guess that it will be less profitable for us playing at Wembley than WHL because of the rent and we probably won't make anything from the concessions inside the ground.

if the rent is the reported 11 mill a season, then after some rough calculations we should cover that easily with the ticket revenue from the extra 14 000 fans we would get at Wembley compared to WHL (14000 x 45 pounds a ticket x 19 games = 12 mill)
think of the extra corporate revenue as well

I would expect Wembley to take a hefty cut of the corporate revenue because we are unlikely to make anything on hospitality there.
Aren't most of the corporate seats already sold at Wembley?
Wembley are facing a crisis over the re-selling of their 10-year debenture seats that underpin the business plan of the national stadium.
The contracts for the vast majority of the 17,500 corporate seats expire in 2017 and surveys of the Club Wembley membership are reported to show the percentage of those prepared to renew for another decade is alarmingly low.
The seats were sold during an economic boom, with a minimum package costing around £50,000.

The corporate seats at Wembley only apply for a set number of events.... I *think* this is FA Cup semi finals and final, League Cup final, Football League play off finals, England matches and Rugby league challenge cup final - there may be a few others as well?... I think you then get first option to purchase the seat/seats for any additional events.

Not surprised, when I was at work I know the companies that offered entertainment struggled to get guest for evening events outside central London, I don't know what it's like at the new Wembley but I was never impressed when I went to corporate entertainment for England games. My worse experience was at a game against Wales, I think their were about 18,000 people there and it ended 0-0.

Well, even corporate seats, as expensive as they are, don't come with a guarantee for on-pitch entertainment/quality....

I would imagine that the New Wembley had an extra pull just because it was the new Wembley. People would want to see it at least once and this was a nice thing for corporate entertaining. But that extra factor has gone so the second round of licences won't have the same appeal and demand.
West Ham should be able to get a similar bounce from their first round of corporate sales. Given the proximity to the City and Canary Wharf they might even be able to keep them easier than Wembley. It will also be interesting if West Ham offer more away seats as a lot of people would be interested in going at least once.

If they're going to stand a chance of filling that stadium it'll have to have about 30,000 seats

Apparently their season tickets have been selling really well.... The cheap season ticket that they are offering (can't remember if it is £199 or £299) is also proving a big draw for neutral type fans (who I'm sure will just pick and choose their games).
I think they will surprise a few people and have good attendances, but won't actually increase their revenue by a huge amount due to a relatively low number of corporate seats, a reasonably high number of cheap seats and the stadium operator taking a lions share of the catering revenue.

Have they started selling the cheapest season tickets, yet.
They have being selling the more expensive bands first. Each season ticket holder can buy two extras. These have been selling well. As a result band 1 seating area has expanded. Essentially, as more people wanted band 1, some sections initially planned (although never officially stated) to be band 2 were upgraded to band 1 prices. Likewise with band 2 and band 3. It's quite a clever trick to maximise revenues.
