The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 9/10 August 2014

Mk Spurs?

Sounds awful, but a means to an end I suppose

 

[ohh Teddy Teddy]

WHL isn't one of the nicest stadiums I've been to either... (well...that's probably one of the reasons we're building a new one anyway )

Atleast it has a few decent pubs and Chick King! Oh and a Sainsburys.

 

[Gedson100]

I guess there are few realistic options.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

If it came to it, then Yes. But that's a silly hypothetical question that doesn't reflect the real world: I might as well ask you whether you'd give Sol Campbell a beej every day for 2 years if it meant we could get the stadium built (my bet: you wouldn't) - it's not something that reflects all the other available options in the universe. There are 90 other clubs in the Football League who aren't MK Dons or Spurs who I would prefer Spurs to share a ground with: I'd sooner see us play at the KC Stadium in Hull (or even, God forbid, at the Emirates) than I would at the Stadium MK.

Is it silly? Stadium MK could potentially be the only viable option.

Whats wrong with WHL? You are close to the pitch and have a great view everywhere (besides behind the East Stand towers.)

 

[Breezer]

Did we have ITK saying our season tickets can be put on hold while we're playing away from WHL or did I read that somewhere else? Obviously not everyone will fancy driving up to MK.

 

[Ledleys Knee]

Last ITK is interesting. Surely we can't mess up the stadium design. We've had years to get it right.

I think that Edmonton is close to the KSS architect, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's hostile to the new designs. Moving to Populus was a significant step up in calibre.

The new ITK doesn't add up

Why would Daniel have to do a 'bad deal' with Archway when we have a CPO and hold all the aces

Agree. Haringey will have already issued Archway with their independent valuation fee and 3 months notice to get off the site. It's got nothing to do with us at the moment.

Just realised it is a fucking long way from London.

Can't we build some non permanent stands around hotspur way?

 

[scat1620]

Yes, I think it is. Obviously neither of us has spoken to every single club in the country ourselves, but I'd be amazed if MK Dons were the only option in the country who would consent to groundshare with us.

 

[Ledleys Knee]

If so..that would really really hurt me.

I agree we need a bigger one...but i absolutely love this stadium.

Me too. For me it and Goodison are the best grounds in the country. Proper stadiums, not soulless soup bowels.

 

[ShaunL84]

Why don't we play our games abroad in the US, be the first PL club to play official PL games in the states.
Build our fanbase up in the states.

Yes. And I'm sure the player won't get jetlaged twice a week of all the travelling. Should be great for the team and our results!

 

[WiganSpur]

Can't we share the Olympic Stadium?

 

[fatpiranha]

Imodium Plus can help with that .

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

Re: The Goat's latest offering, if we end up legitimising the MK Dons franchise scum by sharing a ground with them, then my support for Spurs will be put on hold until that arrangement has come to an end. Morally indefensible for me (I know not everyone will feel this way), and I will want nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur whilst any such arrangement is in place. Neg away.

 

[Flynn]

I love WHL but on the plus side, My wife's still got her house in Princes Risbrough so 10-15 minutes to homes games as opposed to the 2-3 hours I currently face is a bonus.

 

[spursfan77]

If we go to MK then I hope the rumours of season ticket holders being able to have a pass for one season is true as I won't be renewing mine to go there for a season. If the club subsidise my travel costs then I would reconsider.

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

I think you will find there will be a significant minority (and I accept it will likely be a minority) who do agree. MK Dons are a symbol of everything that is wrong with football, and a 'proper' football club (such as my beloved Spurs) should want as little to do with them as humanly possible IMO.

I meant to say exactly my sentiments. I really felt for the Wombles

 

[WiganSpur]

To be fair now it's been expanded it looks like your average Premier League ground. It could be worse.

Only 20 mins from me. Would quite like it!!
