The Official Tottenham Hotspud thread [Vol 9]

I think most were in denial that we spent £30m on him and there must be some Levy magic in there. We'll get out of it a few million down, could have been worse... *cough* Lamela *cough*

Now we've got to contend with a summer of being linked with Europe's hottest talent and we'll probably end up with Ryan Bertrand and Harry Maguire.

How much higher would they be if they actually started winning things?

Apparently row 1 is going to be even closer to the pitch than WHL!

It's going to be epic.

Amazingg they can get something built so big so quick too - cant believe going to be open for 18/19 you would think 19/20

For any major construction, the time consuming part is preparing the ground/foundations. The building is just a case of attaching pre-fabbed parts together, so they go up quickly.

I think thats only at the 'wall' end (southern end) though isn't it?

Surely we can't now be too far away from announcing the stadium naming rights partner?

[Janesy B]

People will just call it White Hart Lane anyway, no matter what the official name is.

Great render / animation that a clever person has put together on the sky scraper geek website showing how the pitch is going to work.

Bet Smarty will be watching that fore a good 30 minutes or so.

Re. the Financial situation

http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/club/announce...

for those too lazy to read it, We had a finance agreement for £200m dating back some years, of which we have drawn £100m towards our new stadium's land acquisition, planning, legal costs/challenges etc. We have so far spent £340m, £100 from the finance and a whopping £240m from the club.

The new finance deal gives us £400m to spend, payable over 5 years

That answers a lot of the questions over the last year about 'where is all the profit going?'

So we've improved as a club, built a world class training facility, plowed money into a new stadium and only drawn down £100m, and the new stadium will be paid for by 2023 that is staggering!

This is all without any naming rights confirmed either.

Nike rights alone could cover 25-40% of that

[jammy-git]

I thought the new stadium was costing £800m?
