Yes, in some areas, but is it worth us spending £1 billion? Maybe it is, but the figures don't add up for me.
You haven't lived anywhere near Tottenham since you were 3 and still chat bad man... in a Yorkshire accent... Follow your local team
You didn't sell yours out all the time and have still got far more in your (sorry, as a council tax paying Londoner it's "our") new stadium. What makes champions league deserving West Ham so different to Tottenham?
Champions league deserving? That's far from what I said, which was that money being spent on a team that included; Hislop Lampard, Cole, Carrick, Ferdinand, Di canio, Defoe, Kanoute, Sinclair would have been a CL side, but instead the chairman gave himself a building contract, sacked the manager, promoted a cheap replaceent and sold half the squad. I shouldn't be surprised though, not the first time you've been to thick to comprehend written English. As for your other pathetic whine, I suggest you take up your tax complaints with Lord Coe and Tony Blair, who had the great idea of building something no one had a use for after the Olympics had finished.
That number is just newspaper talk. It might be reasonable for the whole development. I think about 400m was intended to come from retained profit.
You calling anyone thick is a bit rich to be fair. Anyway - back to the question Einstein. If you can get more fans in your stadium than you did in Upton Park (which wasn't sold out for every match) why shouldn't Spurs be able to do the same in a bigger stadium?
We're not giving the tickets away and then not having anyone turn up, to be fair. The obvious counter-point is that we've already done it. It's not really a hypothetical when it's already happened.
Because, other than Huddersfield, we have the cheapest season tickets in the EPL and have lots of offers for cheap tickets, such as kids for a quid. And I'll call anyone who can't comprehend their own language thick.
Levy didn’t enter into a tight contract and that’s how he managed to get somebody to agree to his ridiculous deadline, they were never going to hit it. These costs will have been forecast months ago, and that’s probably why Spurs spend nowt in the summer on the team.
It's not just the stadium that is costing +£1 billion, as everyone seems to want to believe. It's the cost of the project which covers the stadium, hotel and apartments, supermarket and iirc, expansion of 2 local train stations among others. And seeing as the contractors (not Spurs ) failed to deliver on time, I'm sure there'll be financial penalties incurred.
Fuming with laughter? The bloke is obviously very successful, not in your league obviously but still, a very successful man. He’s ****ed his own arse here though pal, no two ways about it.
There’s no penalties because the Main Contract is a bag of **** mate. Instead the PC is throwing variation after variation at the client and laughing all the way to the bank.
CFC is obsessed with attendance, Bruv. Whenever I get invited to watch Spurs, he wants to know where I'm sitting.
i guess the proof is in the pudding in how much the stadium is costing. Poch getting Moura like a new signing and Levy haggling over Grealish
I don't doubt that mate. These type of projects make a lot of people rich except the customer. I was involved with the Aviva stadium (old Landsdowne Road) during the kit out. That ran almost 12 months late and cost around e400 million back in 2010, nearly e150 million over budget. What was very common was, we couldn't get our work done until other contractors were finished in certain areas. So there was a lot of sitting around and still getting paid. Crap way to run things, but I suspect similar scenarios occurring at NWHL.
Definitely mate. The principal contractor alone will have put huge variations in for costs if any of the delays have been caused by 3rd parties or Levy’s other appointments. Once your programme slips, especially in London then every subcontractor will start rubbing their hands together, never mind the council and utility suppliers.
