So, what’s your point?

Money is beyond the joke within the game we all love (most of the time)? We’ve known that for years, cyber chum…

Guess you didn’t get to the part where they mentioned about the Goonies getting that station changed in 1932 or their shiny new stadium is called the hemorrhoids Emirates then…

Let me guess “Je ne l’ai passes…” 🙂

Would Nike want to do that? I don’t think they would and reports seem to confirm that.

“Talk about picking and choosing your “trolling” points…” well DUH!!!!

Of course NIke wont sponsor them they will want to be connected to a team that wins the occaisonal trophy not who has the most Gregs!! 🙂

I can’t understand all this hatred over Spuds stealing your “TOP4” Trophy for numerous years in a row…

its a hatred for being the spuds 🙂
how many years has it actually been now? and what other trophy have you won?
and wasnt it the spuds that coined that phrase when we celebrated St Tottenhams day for 20 years 🙂

The name White Hart Lane will be eradicated completely from the area, erased from history by those Stalinist corporate entities determined to commercialise public space, appropriate working-class culture and gentrify local neighbourhoods. Stalinist corporate entities???Lol.

Unfortunately for the rest of society, I don’t know what naming rights means – bit tired right now to research so that is that haha 🙂

+ Plus

Good Venture going forward to encourage the new generation of Tottenham fans. There is scope for the Stadium to be used for a whole host of other operations/activities.

More in Capacity and for recent history in being able provide regular Champions League Football, naturally more revenue.

– Minus

Heritage, Tradition lost in nature
Potential in Loyal Supporters priced out
Unwanted fair-weather type of ‘fans’ corporates (Friends of Levy :-P)

Each to their own above all and Good Luck, but as a fan, I really miss Higbury and would have love to have gone. I would not go to the Emirates – just no appeal, and my biggest point to emphasise is the ‘character’ and the Identity that’s effectively the ‘Umbilical Cord’ of the Club in which to me is lost once this transition, innovation, modern change, (whatever you want to call it) is made.

if clube were ablet o make bigger grounds via exisating extensions and no affect local residence and and Grade listed buildings then they would for sure, ate least the spuds ground is in the same place, but its not just about the money for us all, its about trying to compete…united have been able to just make old toilet bigger and bigger and have had the largest ground for decades and still do, so more money and more sucess, without a sugar daddy us other clubs need to do this
