Well I'm glad it wasn't me going mental, that article really is SIX MONTHS OLD.

Personally I would rather stay at WHL, but that is because I have N17 in my car reg.
Do try and keep up. Most of the properties on the High Street frontage have been boarded up for well over a year now.
some good points there BT - it's a difficult one - it's not just about revenue though - we need to get more people watching Spurs on a regular basis to keep our fan base going - I know there are empty seats at UEFA cup games etc - but I think it's important for more fans to be able to see the big lge games too - as a kid in the 60s I would have been well deprived if I hadn't been able to see the Man U Arsenal Pool games etc
True, but even if you're only a member, it's easy enough to get tickets to those games if you're on the ball enough. Damn expensive, but easy enough. Kids these days love their 'internet', after all…
Maybe that's not the point though.
I donk think our fan base would increase because of a bigger stadium.
We would get bigger attendances but thats blindingly obvious.
Er, if we expand to 55,000 as seems to be the word, then it'll be bigger than newcastle, everton and chelski and only 5k smaller than arse.
That 5k is a massive difference. I believe they managed to succeed in the early 90's in part to having a bigger stadium, and it was less that 5k bigger. Also there are rumours they want to expand to 100k and they could easily sell 70k.
There's no reason to sell ourselves short, it's going to be more expensive in the long run if we build a stadium that's still too small. Building a 100,000 seater stadium in a better location would also allow us to hire the stadium out for things like the CL final, or concerts, which would bring money into the club. Right now those events would either go to Wembley or Arsenal

I believe season ticket sales last season amounted to £18m—just 17.5% of the plc's income.
