some excellent photos included....

Christ. They're not hanging around are they!!

Take note Jimbob and Halletosis. This is called getting the feck on with it.

They don't have much choice as the old WHL encroaches into the part built new stadium right next to it and needs to be demolished before the new stadium can be completed. New stadium costs a cool £800m.

And apparently there's no money around in this country. Obviously we've been misinformed. Stunning decadence and a very sad day.

I saw my very first football match on holiday there as a kid. Spurs were playing Leyton Orient in the league !! Spurs won by 5 or something and us kids were hoiked over the barriers to sit with on the St John ambulance bench.
I always loved their triple stand. Maybe Lord Jim of Oldway could pick it up on the cheap and ship it down here.

Times move on I guess. Used to be  Spurs fan in my younger days and even since those days, the ground has changed virtually beyond recognition, although one of the old stands was incorporated into the new set up if memory serves me right. Only went there twice-got locked out after turning up too late for a 55000 sell out against Bolton in the old second division and a league cup tie against Birmingham when Spurs were 3-0 down at half time and George Graham needed a police escort back to the dressing room. Whether or not the costs involved affect their on field performances, as it undoubtedly did at Arsenal, time will tell but every success to them- they seem to be willing to bring through young English players more than most top clubs and all credit to Pochettino and the Spurs set up for that.

Wondered how long it would take.

Have seen the new ground internally (enhanced artist impression) from a facebook link which had a 360 degree facility to pan around centre circle area..... It is absolutely stunning and blows away every other ground including Wembley in the country
