Send the scum to Stratford

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Or is it? The idea that the scum can move to stratford being dissmissed early on reduces the chance that they can do their swamp upgrade project on the cheap. Get the chequebook out Levy, this is gonna cost you upwards of 400 million.

Enjoy. :D

Move to Stratford would be great.

1. They wouldn't get a proper football stadium. It's an athletics stadium, with a fucking great running track around the edges of the proposed pitch. Atmosphere would be shit. Much worse than the Grove.

2. The knuckledraggers would be walking through West Ham territory. The whammers won't like that. Think of all those lovely ambushes they would suffer.

3. Not sure about this(?) but they wouldn't actually own the stadium, and would be paying rent. Forever.

4. Sp*rs supporters will fucking hate it. :D

5. Those deluded Middlesex *word censored* wouldn't be a North London club anymore.

6. It might end up as a ground-sharing scheme. With West Ham. I would so laugh. :twisted:

Same here... I'd see the cunting thing twice every day. I feel sorry for one of my mates who lives in Cheshunt (I think) and goes through Shite Hart Lane station every day.

Being realistic... Spurs being given an 80,000 stadium in Stratford would be horrible. Means they can sell SHL and use the profit to buy more players (£2.99 can buy you a lot of players when you're a twitchy wheeler-dealer *word censored* like 'arry). If they have a capacity of 80,000, they'd only fill it a few times a season (us, United, Chelsea, maybe Liverpool and West Ham at a push), but it means they could whip up demand by selling tickets for half what they currently charge (I'm guessing it's still measured in pence?), and the stadium would cost them little to run if it's still owned by the UK Olympics authority.

Them redeveloping SHL means they have to find a few £100m, play in front of an even more dilapidated stadium for a few years, will still have a smaller, shitter ground than us, in the middle of nowhere, can't cut prices, won't attract big stars, and will probably go bust before it's completed.

Like fuck am I paying, as a London council tax payer, for those *word censored* to exist a few miles closer to me than they currently are :barscarf:

None of their fans even live in Tottenham. Most of my mates from that area are all Gooners anyway.

I wonder if they moved to Cheshunt would they all be up in arms?

It's all a red herring. I reckon Levy wants Haringey to think Sp**rs want the Stratford move and will panic when they realise the effect on the local economy.

That way the Council would be more likely to approve the redevelopment plans for SHL.

UPDATE:

There you go:

"Wednesday 17 November 2010
Haringey Council has taken further steps to keep Spurs in Tottenham by agreeing "in principle" support for a future compulsory purchase order (CPO).

The Cabinet group last night approved a report which outlines plans to enable Tottenham Hotspur FC to buy land and property needed to proceed with the Northumberland Development Project.

While Spurs already owns much of the land surrounding the existing White Hart Lane stadium, a CPO would enable the club to buy other land essential to allowing the multi-million pound scheme to go ahead.

Council Leader Cllr Claire Kober said:

“Haringey has worked hard to pull this report together swiftly because we know that a CPO would allow Spurs’ plans, which have the full backing of the council, to progress unhindered.

“The council has acted in the interests in the club and is committed to seeing work on the project continue. We look forward to work starting on site and to welcoming Spurs’ 56,000 capacity state-of-the-art stadium to Tottenham.â€
