How much did those bastards at Archway get from the Club in the end? Held the development up for 2 years, and for what exactly, unless Roman was funding them all the while?

I wonder if we would have gone ahead with the previous design if we had got out way with Archway earlier. I much prefer the new design so maybe alls well that ends well.
The real conspiracy is we were on board with Archway because we were waiting for the NFL to get onboard and the new designs to come through...

Just returned from MK Dons ground after watching Fiji beat Uruguay in the rugby World Cup. Stadium record of just over 30000. Despite shuttle buses took ages to get out and back approximately 3 hours to NW London. If you leave elsewhere probably longer. Midweek games for families will be a nightmare, especially as most in the ground were local and didn't necessarily need cars. Imagine 20000 fans heading toward London. Parking was difficult and in the evening, on Saturday there will be fewer spaces as many use shopping centres to park.
I hope Enic do not take the heap option to MIlton Keynes. It will cost fans dearly.

Tottenham have submitted a planning application to use 44 White Hart Lane as a materials compound for the next three years.

For those of you know the area, 44 White Hart Lane is just under the train bridge ( going towards the High Road ) on the left hand side. The former site of Redcorn Motors.

Some more images of the bowl interior itself.
Would be interesting to compare these distances with the same trajectories at the Olympic Stadium.
It was in the Olympic Stadium thread.

Don't want to put a downer on things, but that cladding will almost certainly not happen.Some more perspectives for the stadium.
A perspective of the residential area
I see a lot of architects drop their grand ideas for cladding and replace it with glass/flat sheet when it comes to pricing it all up. Very, very few (especially in this country) make it to build the way they are drawn.

There's a famous example of this (well actually the inverse) in Sheffield. The big skyscraper opposite the station was sold as this beautiful glass building. In the final month or two of the build, the developer apparently 'ran out of money', and instead put in some horrible brown cladding that maked it look like a 70s towerblock and gained it the name 'the turd tower'.

Happens all the time. To get that silver effect there are two (maybe three options). You anodise, which will use a proprietary system for which you pay through the nose. Or you can use a PVDF-based system which will match the colour and performance but be a bit cheaper - there's only one company in the UK who currently has a license to do that. Or you can powder coat which will be a near, but not exact, match, be much cheaper and will fade far more quickly than the others.
Either way, because of the shape of the cladding, you end up making and coating far more aluminium than you would with flat sheets. In all likelihood I suspect we'll see flat sheets done in a good finish (if the prestige of the project really matters it will be PVDF) and there will be some solar shading powder coated in a different colour so it doesn't have to match.
