Should we lease Wembley?

[chinaman]

It looks likelier each day that passes that we'd be in the CL next season. And if we want to be competitive we'd have to sign Ade permanently and perhaps another star name or two.

So if we're really going into the market, we'd have to pay these players 6 digit wages; and the likes of Modric, VDV and Bale should be paid on par with Ade and the new arrivals.

We simply cannot pay such wages for 5 or 6 players, and don't forget that if we are successful this season, players such as BAE and Kabul; and in fact most of the squad will merit a pay rise.

With our stadium still years away, the only way to increase revenue is to lease Wembley say for 4 or 5 years and see how big a draw we are and plan our new stadium accordingly.

No thanks, that's place is soulless when full and we wouldn't fill it anyway.

Lease Wembley? Not on your nelly. The atmosphere would be hopeless.

 

[StartingPrice]

Super-Dan will find a way :bow:

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Not possible, I'm pretty sure Wembley can only hold a maximum number of events a year to keep the local residents happy. Football every fortnight wouldn't fly.

 

[mpickard2087]

No thanks, loads of empty seats and would lead to a poor atmosphere.

We didn't sell out White Hart Lane last season, so why would we want to not sell out a bigger venue that in return would see us having to hand over some of our gate receipts

levy will probably arrange a share with arsenil for a couple of seasons whilst the new one is built !! http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/omg.gif

Yes but only for the knockout stages - if we qualify of course...

 

[Roy1983]

For CL matches yeah go for it. The scum flopped spectacularly with their attempt but I believe we'd sell out near capacity.

Wouldn't be totally against that. I thought the atmosphere when we won LC was fantastic... from our end of course.

I rather lease twickenham but thats even more unlikely than wembley

 

[nidge]

If I remember correctly Wembley can only host a certain number of events per year and our potential CL games would take it over that limit.

Not me Wembleys just round the corner. Not possible, as event days are regulated.

Let's just demand it as part of the forfeit when we displace them as the premium club side in World football (not that we aren't, anyway) :hump:

Thought new WHL is still on target for 2014 or 2015 opening - i.e. 2-3 years only.

Never, Scum had an awful time there. WHL is intimidating for teams (well sometimes these days)

But they haven't even started building it yet? :shrug:

No. But they've demolished nearly everything on the site and some building has already been slated for this summer.
