No ](*,)
May sound a bit extreme but can we please close this thread now mods?
Could then re-open it when or more likely if there is any actual news/statements from the club regarding JUST the stadium, not the Sainsburys or technical college or property developments etc.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
The last remaining CPO should go through next month, so that might cause things to start happening.
Although if new planning permission is needed for the 70,000 NFL-friendly revisions then that could signal longer delays.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
Going back to the start of October:
Another e-mail was sent to RMB2007 of architecture forum Skys****ercity.com by KSS Design chairman David Keirle. RMB2007 previous e-mails contained info on Populous being given work by the club weeks before anyone else talked about it.
The Super Market has opened for business and some of the local business owners have had a good moan in one of the major news papers.
Things are happening, even if we don't get weekly updates from the club.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
Preparations are now under way to construct the new roof on the Olympic Stadium, which is set to be West Ham's home from the 2016/17 season.
The first of 14 floodlight panels is to be removed later this week to allow the development, which is twice the size of that for the London 2012 Games, to press on in the spring.
The cantilevered roof, which measures some 84 metres at its deepest point, will be the longest of its type in the world and will cover every seat at the 60,000 capacity venue, with the work scheduled to be completed by 2015 to host some Rugby World Cup matches.
West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady hopes all of the new innovations in the project will make for a smooth transition to The Hammers' new home when they eventually leave Upton Park.
'This marks a key milestone in the stunning, £200 million transformation of the Olympic Stadium - one that will culminate in an iconic new home for our club,' she said.
'My team and I fought exceptionally hard on behalf of our supporters to ensure these modifications, which we knew were of paramount importance to our supporters, took effect.
'The roof is a truly phenomenal design that will enhance the iconic status of this sporting arena and help to lock in the world-famous atmosphere that our supporters create when we play at home.
'There will also be an innovative seating solution that will bring fans closer to the pitch, new hospitality areas and a bespoke ticket office and club store.
'It was vital for us that this stadium offers an incredible viewing experience for West Ham fans and I think that will become ever clearer as the conversion progresses.
'We are wholly committed to delivering a state-of-the-art home for West Ham by 2016 that will honour the Olympic legacy pledge.
'Today represents another significant step toward that hugely exciting goal.'
An agreement between the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) and West Ham saw the Barclays Premier League club take on a 99-year lease, with the Olympic stadium to be transformed into a 60,000-seater venue in time for the 2016/17 season.
However, a House of Lords report was published earlier this week which recommended West Ham and Leyton Orient work together with the LLDC, and even suggests the League One side be granted occasional use of the stadium, something for which they have long been pushing.

I've missed a few pages of this thread. Can anyone update me on the NFL link? I wonder if AEG have any involvement in this.

Hopefully by then they'll have the longest cantilevered roof in League One.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
Credit to them, they named a date and they stuck to it. Their project is much less complicated than ours, so that mostly excuses us, but considering that talk of a new stadium started in 2001, I'm very faintly disappointed that they will have ultimately secured new digs before we are likely to.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
What? Ridiculous to compare their situation with ours, even remotely. They've been given the xxxxing thing for a song. No way they'd be anywhere near getting a new stadium otherwise.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
There was no talk about a new stadium in 2001. At least, not from the club there wasn't.
When ENIC first came to the club, they couldn't have been clearer as to their priorities. They repeated them often:
First, the team.
Second, the training ground.
Third, the stadium.
When they first arrived at the club, there was no need for a 56-60K stadium. Not even close. We didn't even sell out every PL game back in those days.
Consequently, the first plan ENIC considered was just for a redevelopment of the West stand, which would have taken capacity up to 44-45K. You might have seen the renders. They did the rounds for a while but Spurs asked websites to remove them, iirc.
It was only later that Levy decided that a more radical and ambitious plan was required - quite possibly after he saw Arsenal's new stadium. And it was only in 2008 that, after an extensive search for suitable sites, Spurs announced that they had decided to build a new stadium adjacent to, and overlapping with, the site of the current stadium.
Given the complexity and scale of the project and the modest size the company, it was always going to take time to make it happen. It was no different for Arsenal. Took them the best part of ten years, all told. Likewise Liverpool. Seven years on from first deciding that they needed to build anew or redevelop, they are still a number of years away from realising their ambition.
West Ham is different, of course. And even if they do move into their new home before we do, we can take comfort in the fact that it will be a vastly inferior home - albeit in a well connected location.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
They haven't been given the stadium. Levy saw to that. They are just a tenant. They will pay £15m as part of the conversion costs and £2m per annum in rent. Not sure what the terms are but they might also have to pay ongoing maintenance and service costs. The LLDC will also keep the lion's share of any naming rights income.

Re: Northumberland Development Project
Daniel Levy's opening statement on taking over Tottenham talked about the stadium as a priority there was nothing at all about the training ground. It was a major part of the recommendations put forward by David Buchler at the time. It was only later down the line, way after the dust had settled and Enic and Levy had got there foot in the door was the talk of a structure of plans that included the training ground. Therefore Levy since 2001 has talked about changing the stadium to increase the size.. who knows had those initial promises been met, the other sides should have been done, thus pushing it to nearer 60k.
