Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

There is no way I will go to games at Milton Keynes, using public transport it would take me almost 3 hours each way to do the journey and impossible for evening games and I don't fancy getting home after 9pm on Sundays evenings after missing my lunch. I will find it amazing people who wouldn't go to Stratford will go there.

Google says it'd take you an hour and 10 minutes (assuming Bermondsey is still correct).

I was looking for the dragons.
 
MK doesn't look if it will be a popular decision. If Levy made the decision to go to MK, he would be widely criticised. If we go to MK because the FA reject us at Wembley and give it to Chelsea, then I suspect the criticism will be directed elsewhere. It might even persuade some people not to boycott games at MK.

I don't think it is all subterfuge, but I suspect the financial advantages of Wembley are overstated. The £11 or £15 million rent is one. An extra 20k fans, presumably at higher rates, could largely be offset by the rent. How the corporate money is handled is another. Wembley has much more potential, but we don't know how they will be divided. On current terms the corporate box holders have an option for extra events, so this could limit corporate facilities.

P.S. I think that article is based on old news*. Wasn't the THST meeting a week or two ago? And it still peddles the myth that West Ham have a veto on the OS as claimed by Brady.

* Edit: the meeting was Sept 29. The minutes dealing with the stadium move were posted by Kandi1977 in post #5486.

If fans do not want to go to MK then that is their decision but they will be plenty who will take their place. Jesus the way some bitch about it you would think its the other side of the world.

What have you based this upon? Looked at Google Maps with a ruler?

You drive straight off the M1, straight to the stadium and park. MK as a town is designed for cars.

Much easier than driving to the outskirts of London to park, train into KX-St P, tube, 7S walk

Its up to the FA, they must be seen to be fair (but most likely they dont give a fcuk and its all about the moolah on offer)

As was suggested earlier, why dont we try and move into Wembley earlier, as early as next season? Surely seasons 2016/17 and 2017/18 will give enough time to get the new stadium ready, Wembley will get 2 years rent from us and they can negotiate 3 or 4 years with Chelski for the period after.

I dont see why this season at the current WHL cannot be our last. Fcuk it, weve waited long enough for the new ground, if we can get all the agreements in place and the real work can definitely start by next spring/summer then lets move out asap and give the contractors full use of the area to get working.

Too late to spring something like that on fans now, and not enough time to knock up the special edition home shirts and all the other commemorative tat they'll have to sell, either; they'll want to be building all that up over next summer.

I reckon billyiddo had the right of it, with his scenario of Abramovich agreeing to take Wembley from the start of the 2017-18 season and then backing out again after we've committed elsewhere, just purely to queer our pitch. That's about his speed alright.

I don't think I could be bothered schlepping all the way over to Wembley for every game anyway, never mind up to Milton sodding Keynes, especially for evening kick-offs, so I'll probably be taking the ST amnesty, whatever happens.

No I've moved to Bexley, and the times given for travel are a complete work of fiction, they take no account of the service on particular days but that of an ideal "planners world" or the indivdual, as a 70 year old with an arthritic knee I need extra time also, for evening matches I would have to leave probably after 60 mins to ensure getting my last train home.

Look in Hemel Hempstead I went out with a dragon from there.

And what about the vast majority of supporters who attend games by traveling by public transport?

We do, the tube/train/bus/cab drivers :p

But then you have to sit in a dirty, smelly carriage with a load of other people. The thing departs and arrives at a time that suits them and not you. It invariably leaves from and arrives to nowhere near your start point or destination. It doesn't stop when/where you want it to stop, it doesn't hang around when you're running late or go faster to make up that time.

The whole idea is just preposterous. Far better to use a civilised mode of transport.
