This has just gone up on Twitter. No idea who the guy is but he seems to be backing what he says.

Construction start date for the #thfc stadium will commence 6th Nov 2014 once initial contractor demolition finished.

McLaren with FCC (the favoured) along with Laing, BAM and McAlpine have all returned tenders. #thfc
Rob MDK Hayward @robMDK 2h
@nad_THFC a big announcement will follow the stadium construction. More likely the NFL franchise (hence pitch alterations)
Rob MDK Hayward @robMDK
@HamidTHFC no notes on the plans mate but guessing it would be retractable to protect the playing surface

Tenders for the expansion of the overground station are due in too. Construction on them scheduled for a September start
Intriguing photos. Remember watching Spurs lose 0-3 to Burnley on a carpet of snow in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, January 1963. Might even have been amongst those captured at 2.13 towards the end of this clip!

All goes to show what a magnificent structure Leith's East Stand was. Cavernous empty in the first picture, full it takes on an entirely different complexion with 25 500 fans seeming about to pour onto the pitch and take part in the game. I have not seen a picture as good as the last one of WHL pre the Leith East Stand.
This is what I would like to see from the new structure, steep stands with supporters on top of the game, breathing down the necks of the players, reflecting the empathy Archibald Leith had with the football supporter.
Been a bit unreliable in the past, like posting that pic about Jan last year saying how much the construction would cost etc.
He's also tw@tted that there is no major design alterations BUT there has been alterations to the pitch to accommodate NFL which will be announced soon and 'guessing' that there will be a retractable roof to protect the pitch :~
Don't get this one
What overground expansion?
Kudos, mate. Was amazed it went ahead at the time, pity it did really the way Burnley adapted so much better to the conditions.I remember that game, I went to help clear the pitch for it. On the newsreel it didn't show the punch up with Bobby Smith and Talbot, proper fight no falling over.

Considering it was over fifty years ago it's scary to ponder how many of the 32,000 at that game are still around.
I'll take that tweet with a pinch of salt. Now if it was on the OS I might get a touch excited

Don't know about expansion as such but WHL station is to be moved a short distance further south and combined with a walkway providing direct access to the stadium a-la Wembley Way.
wasn't there talk of a Tottenham Hale refurbishment given the go ahead recently? could mean that
White Hart Lane station will also be joining the London Overground network, so might be some investment there to spruce up the station in the short term at least
