Is that bit to the right with everyone standing on a slope? Great view of the action if so.

Populous press release confirms new #THFC stadium will have "the largest single tier stand in the UK, now increased to 17,000 seats."

Edit: That's almost half our current capacity....in 1 stand!

Does anyone know what's happening with the transport links. Presumably they will be getting improves??

• The new stadium will be actively promoted as a ‘Public Transport Destination’ – just like Wembley Stadium, with service improvements, new shuttle bus links, better pedestrian connections, real-time travel information points, clear signage and regular transport updates on the website, in programmes, and directly to fans.

• The upgraded Victoria Line has already delivered brand new, faster and higher capacity trains – ending the disruption that supporters have faced for many years and delivering major service improvements. The Victoria Line will become the highest frequency railway in the UK with trains running every 100 seconds, each way, before a midweek fixture and all trains now running the full length of the line to Walthamstow by way of Tottenham Hale.

• Improvements at Seven Sisters station interchange are now well underway – with extra stairs from the southbound National Rail Overground station towards the Victoria Line Underground station completed and further work will be undertaken as part of the London Overground devolution to improve the quality of the station facilities for all passengers.

• The White Hart Lane station train service is coming under the control of London Overground in 2015 – with brand new and higher capacity trains, similar to the new Metropolitan Line trains, and station improvements planned. This important project is now being developed by TfL, Network Rail and Haringey Council.

• Network Rail are scheduled to introduce ‘three tracking’ for the section through Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park – which will entail the reconstruction of Northumberland Park station and significant frequency improvements for services to Stratford. Construction works should be complete well before the new stadium is finished.

• Better use will be made of White Hart Lane and Northumberland Park stations – and the Club will work with the two new Train Operating Companies to further improve match-day services and make better use of the 8-car service capacity with new queue management systems in place assisted by club stewards.

• White Hart Lane station will be redeveloped – with the creation of a newly-located station entrance, a new ticket hall and wider platform access. This redevelopment forms part of the regeneration plans for the west side of the High Road being led by Haringey Council. A planning application is expected later in 2015 with a target opening date of 2017.

• Northumberland Park station will also be reconstructed – to allow the introduction of a third track. The level crossing will be removed and will be replaced by a new and much higher quality footbridge. On a non-matchday there will be 4 trains an hour each way to and from Stratford.

• The removal of the Tottenham Hale Gyratory is now largely complete – with the final stage involving the construction of a major bus station at the Tottenham Hale transport interchange. The gyratory removal provides a simple 2-way traffic connection between the station and the stadium area.

• Upgrades to the Tottenham Hale station now have full planning and funding approval – and construction will commence in the near future.

• The Club will operate two new shuttle bus services – the first service will run from Alexandra Palace station by way of Wood Green (Piccadilly line). The model for this service is the Allianz Park service, which carries more than 3,000 Saracens supporters before and after games. A second service will provide a high frequency link between the upgraded Tottenham Hale interchange (Victoria Line and 6 minutes from Liverpool Street) and the stadium area.

• The Club will seek to minimise the need for bus diversions on match-days – so they are back operating in the High Road as soon as possible after the final whistle. There will also be increased use of the W3 and new high frequency shuttle bus services connecting to the Piccadilly line, as an alternative to the buses to the Victoria line at Seven Sisters.

• An expanded match-day Controlled Parking Zone will minimise the transport impacts on local residents and business – and will further discourage car use. The Haringey CPZ scheme is two-thirds complete and the Enfield scheme will, subject to approval, follow in the next few years.

• The construction of the new cycle superhighway commenced in July 2015 – CS1, as it is called, connects the stadium (at Church Street) to Liverpool Street. The route avoids major roads and will create a new travel option for supporters who live south of the stadium. A large cycle park has been built in Phase one of the development next to Lilywhite House.

By the sounds of it the intention within these 10 years is to have at least 8 games being played in London, if not moving a franchise over here.

This is huge news. Great to see the capacity increase confirmed too.

Can't wait to see plans.

• Flexibility for the future – with sections of the seating bowl designed to accommodate areas of safe standing if the current licensing regulations change.

Now we just need planning permission. But with boris and harringay comments looks like a formality.
