    Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has drawn up plans for student flats on the site of a former printworks near its stadium:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66975500

    Not exactly the stadium, but the stadium build stuff, so I put it here.
    Abandoning the cinema plan is probably sensible.
    I hope there's some plan to improve the amenities to accommodate all of these extra people, though.

    The UK and the Republic of Ireland are now the sole bidders for Euro 28.
    Turkey have withdrawn their bid to combine it with Italy for Euro 32.

    Ours is one of the host stadiums, which someone on Reddit has drawn a helpful map for:

    Not sure how many of those need any work, to be honest.
    Casement and Everton aren't finished yet, of course.
    Hampden, Villa and St James probably could do with an upgrade.

    The BBC said the tournament would be on entirely British soil

    Feel free to say those exact words in Dublin, eh?

    Dublin is in the British Isles but not part of the United Kingdom. Britain and British should be geographical descriptions in my view. And I speak as someone whose grandfather fought for the IRA in the independence struggle and who supports reunification of Ireland.

    I know!
    The problem is that the name Great Britain which geographically is just the largest island in the archipelago is also used as a shorthand for England, Scotland and Wales...which is geographically inaccurate.

    It's so bizarre that nothing's outright been said about what this damage may or may not have been, just that there was some...somewhere

    The best guess is some paint on the windows, no doubt from a Liverpudlian hell bent on getting English clubs banned from Europe again

    Brought an Arsenal shirt onto hallowed ground, so we had to have the place exorcised.

    That requires such a "deep clean" that new WHL
    will have to be rebuilt from the ground up.

    Here's something that I meant to mention, but I couldn't find any reference to it.
    The club appears to have stopped serving Amstel, which basically raises prices.
    The cheapest beer is now Heineken at £5.89, which is 80p more and it's worse.

    That makes an effective price increase of nearly 50% in 4 years.
    A pint of Amstel was £4 in 2019. That far too rapid a rise, even in this era.
    I won't be drinking at the ground any more.
