    Minutes of THST meeting on Feb 20 now out :

    http://www.thstofficial.com/thst-news/report-of-thst-meeting-with-the-spurs-board-20-february-2018

    The usual open comms between the board and THST.
    The key summary assessment seems to be :

    1. Slight delays on the new WHL roof lift, but not panic stations.

    First few PL games being played away next season was always
    a strong likelihood regardless of the progress of the new WHL build.


    2. The season at Wembley has been used to learn a lot about
    the match day realities of operating a stadium with the
    capacity that new WHL has. Some things will be adopted as is,
    others will be changed for the better.

    3. Future-proofing in new WHL going in from the outset wrt the possibility of
    safe standing being allowed. Whether that means the fast switch between
    seating and standing structures that Dortmund apparently has, is TBC.

    4. Squad stuff (players, wages etc) .

    On-pitch staff costs have been around 50% of club income.
    This is not a dogmatic rule, just how it has been panning out.

    Strong statement that the only players that will be sold are
    those the manager wants rid of.

    Jennings is the only goalkeeper I have ever seen catch a ball one handed in a crowded penalty area from a corner ...oh and that point blank save against Chelsea from a header I think it was by Hutchinson was fantastic. Oh what memories

    Can anyone make out who they all are?

    Back row
    Stevie P
    Ledley
    ? Roberts
    Hugo
    ? Knowles
    Hoddle
    Ginola
    Greaves
    Gazza
    ? Blanchflower

    Front row
    Sir Bill
    Harry
    ?

    I can see Mabbutt's signature but none of the figures look like him?

    I thought Mabbutt is the one sitting to the right of Hugo. Also the player on the far right looks more like Bale than Blanchflower, although why they'd overlook a true legend for a flash in the pan is beyond me.

    I'm dying to know who's pouring the tea...

    Is the H a clue or am I missing something obvious?
    I think you're right about the two players.

    Danny Boy is no longer here to sign that picture *** . :(
    So you should have said Cliff Jones rather than Bale.

    Must stand for Helder Postiga. A true legend of our times.

    I'm just counting how many "Pay Toby what he wants" tweets are in response to it.

    ...and now I lost my place, so I have to start again. DAMMIT!

    The difference between EL and CL revenue is staggering. Even a car crash of a CL campaign nets over twice the amount of a more successful one in the EL. The difference between 4th and 5th to a club like us is the ability to sign a top quality player in the summer.
