Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

The plan for Stratford was to build the stadium we had planned initially for NWHL in place of the OS - think that says it all really, a token application to prevent West Ham from getting an even better deal than they ended up with whilst forcing Haringays hand with regards to our own bid to develop on the same location - money well spent

If I remember the promotional material correctly, it was literally the same stadium in the NDP renders copy-pasted onto the OS site - it was hilariously just cut and pasted onto the locale, to the point where a) it jarred with everything around it because the color palate was so awfully off, b) still used the old background lighting compared to the type used in the OS renders, making it awfully bright relative to its surroundings, and c) some of the cardboard cutout people wandering around the site were actually cut in half because the stadium was pasted over their top halves.

It looked like a slap-up 15-minute job in Photoshop, it really did. :p
 
That's my point - if we had been seriously considering Stratford we'd have tailored a design to the location - and I personally think had we gone balls out for it we would have got it - ultimately we done enough to look interested but not enough to win the bid

Meh. Load of marketing guff with no specifics.
 
Didn't Levy screw HP once by selling them some software company?

You thinking of when they bought Autonomy for way more than it was worth? Don't think Lev was involved.

Even if he was you know HP would still consider him a great friend, all part of being Levied.

I dont know why Seedy Ron your avatar and username are perfection together ... Harry Kane looks like a character from "Confessions of a Window Cleaner" and he genuinely looks chuffed when the housewife says that her husband has taken her money by accident ....

Enic had a shareholding in Autonomy so Levy has an interest, albeit a small one.

An article from 2004 said:
Another interesting investor is billionaire Joe Lewis, who originally invested in Autonomy through his ENIC investment vehicle, and who was also involved, along with Autonomy's chief exec Mike Lynch in Paradigm Media. Lewis personally holds a 700,000-share stake or 0.63% in Autonomy, which he has not touched since October 2001.

I agree - in hindisight, that's likely what we were going for all along. Always nice to screw West Ham out of a good deal, though. ;)
 
Hopefully they can come up with an app that lets you preorder HT drinks and then hire staff that actually has them ready when you arrive. The ability to pay through the app to shorten queues even further would be a bonus.

"The new stadium will have large video screens, LED signage, public Wi-Fi access, mobile point of sale (POS) systems, click and collect food and beverage, as well as analytics platforms that learn about user behaviour."

As for the staff, well, pretty sure they won't want the opening games and other events to be marred by bad PR of unhappy punters waiting too long to get what was ordered.
