The olympic stadium would no way be cheap, the only benefit would have been selling white hart lane other than that the plot at stratford whilst it is great is riddled with engineering problems hence why a relative cheap design in the OS cost so much to build and also why West ham were limited in their options with retractable seatingI do agree with you. I was not a fan of the idea of moving to the Olympic Stadium, but I don't think that that would have affected the various community projects that the club is involved with in Enfield/Haringey. I also don't think that the motivation was to maliciously move the clubs interests to Stratford... there was just an opportunity to give Spurs a big, new stadium immediately and relatively cheaply. It's the kind of thing that I would expect of the board and is another thing where I think us fans can be quick to make up a narrative about Levy that isn't necessarily true. I much prefer the new stadium on the WHL grounds, but it would have been negligent for our board not to take a serious look at the Olympic Stadium imo.
