    Ah, the old Sainsburys site (did not know THFC own that too) .
    That IMHO would be better for residential, as for starters you already have a
    fair amount of space for car parking.

    Here's a very interesting article about the nature and extent of the club's property development plans...

    https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/ins...at-tottenham-hotspurs-housing-ambitions-60872

    Compared to ENIC, this Council are a bunch of hopeless ****ing amateurs. I can see the club being able to get pretty much any near reasonable scheme through an appeal whilst the current leadership is in place.

    Looks too modern and corporate like that

    But how much money is it pulling into the club when other stadiums are idle , if it brings in funds towards a lo celso or ceballos then I'll be happy

    Without the NFL/rugby/boxing/concerts/etc. the stadium wouldn't have been built to the standard it has been. That additional income makes it affordable and ensures that we won't have to sell players to pay for it.

    Also, it will make us so much more powerful in anything that we want to do in the years ahead. The Mayor of London is desperate to get an NFL franchise in London and it's always good to have friends...especially when relations with the local council are due another period of strife over the next decade.

    It belongs to the football club, everyone else just gets a small taste.

    As I have said before, if Arsenal had thought this through and designed their new stadium with the same objectives, we would never have has this opportunity.

    Got a stadium tour with my young boys (8 and 9 year old) but have to wait until October as it's a birthday present.

    I'll be travelling from Kent. Is rail/tube still the best option? We would prefer to drive as close as possible to the stadium and then use public transport. Any tips?

    Thanks.

    Where in Kent are you, and what do you deem "as close as possible"
    for driving purposes ??

    Went on the weekend and parked in Sainsbury's underneath Lilywhite House. You get 3 hours free parking on non-match days. The tour is 90 minutes so it gave us plenty of time.

    I'm in mid-Kent, near Maidstone. I spent 20 years commuting to London and understand that rail is generally the better option. But if I could drive nearby and then hop on a tube or walk, that would be better for travelling with two young boys. Plus, ideally I want to avoid the evening rush hour!

    The Sainsbury car park is probably too short in time, as I'm sure the boys will want to visit the Spurs Shop and spend my money, and the last thing I want to do is get stressed about getting back to the car park.

    What did you make of the place, B&W? It's been a while since we had a fresh opinion on the subject, IIRC.

    Plenty of time. It is literally 5 minutes walk and the tour starts in the shop. We had time to sit in the M cafe , have a drink while watching England maul New Zealand

    To be honest, I preferred the tour of Old WHL.
    This tour is very limited, takes in changing rooms and you get to go pitchside.
    Remember, as it is open the whole way round, on any given matchday, one can wander around and see loads

    From that I infer that you are coming on a working day. and the tour
    is in the afternoon. If the Sainsburys car park time limit scares you,
    there are the following nearby :

    https://www.haringey.gov.uk/parking-roads-and-travel/parking/car-parks

    Check online as to whether they are enclosed/manned car parks.

    The only big enclosed car park I know nearby is at Edmonton green,
    which is a 15 min walk from WHL or the 149/259/279/349 buses.
