Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

[mephitis]

"It’s been a long road but the Beavertown Tap Room in Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium is almost complete, Thanks to the team and installers at Genix Imaging and Gaelite Signs for showing true professionalism working around many trades on site."

A Wacky Warehouse! Levy really has thought of everything!

Neck oil on tap in New WHL, fudging hell, can this stadium get any better? Cannabis dispensers at every exit? Complimentary lines of coke with every pie?

Just kidding, drugs are bad, mkay.

brick-stirring by rival fans no doubt. But it does beg the question, how many other clubs pay an additional premium on top of the business rate for the clean-up around the ground?

Nonsense article. Initially states Spurs are unhappy with general levels of street cleanliness and issues such as fly tipping (all of which are completely right, and in my mind should be covered by the local council)

Then, he flips it round to moan that Spurs won’t contribute more to cleaning after events at the stadium. Well? Which is it then!!!

I also love the ‘poor residents’ ‘poor council’ ‘nasty rich football team’ angles.
Yeah, cos if I lived there I’d hate to think anyone was asking the local council to clean the streets for me, and to stop fly tipping - all in exchange for the rates and council tax I pay to them. Much prefer paying out just to live in filth and dirt - how dare Spurs!!!

Karren Brady seems to think so. Apparently it's crap.

Residents’ groups have accused Spurs of being insensitive and arrogant towards a community with chronic social problems

We've built a giant fudging premium stadium in the middle of Tottenham, along with a hotel, supermarket, apartments, etc. Shouldn't the council be moving the "chronic social problems" to another area by now and letting us all enjoy the gentrification?

The key quote is the last one from the club spokesman - but buried at the end, of course.

Yep, pretty much nails it.

If the council needs more money it has the tools to get it. Increase the property value in the area and rates will increase - it's a win/win because the need to spend will also decrease.

What’s old gob mouth crater face had to say for herself this time?

Worst kind of scum. A gooner masquerading as a hammer.

Levy is jealous of West Ham apparently

Ofcourse he is, it's clear to see and so obvious

Brady wrote in The Sun while referring to the problems that Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward is facing at the moment: “I know I’ve had plenty.

“I mean, engineering a move to a 60,000-seater stadium, slap in the middle of London, our prime area, helping our community in any number of ways, having the cheapest tickets in the Premier League and doing so at a cost that must turn Spurs chairman Daniel Levy green with envy makes me a target for some social media smarties who don’t know a good thing from a kick in the breaches.”

It's all well and good boasting about getting things done on the cheap (aka taxpayers pay), but you get what you pay for. Compare what they have to what we are on the cusp of having.
I wonder who will be green with envy come 27 April?

She's only saying the cost of their move would make Levy envious - which of course it would

Yes, they spent almost nothing on it themselves, but now they have no stadium of their own, everyone hates it (and the board) and they aren't really making that much more money as the tickets have to be given away. I'm surprised she forgot to mention how successful the move was.

Guess you get what you pay for....

And they paid £2, compared with our £800m.

Heard on the Fighting rooster Podcast that the Billy Nich is going to be the away pub for the new ground

I'd be amazed if that was true

Heard that a while back - it is right next to the new away end I guess...

Surely the away pub is the one the fans allow them to have. The away pub is simply an amnesty of sorts - if we don't want them to have that pub, they can't have that pub.

Didn't think there were any "away pubs" near the ground anyway, just beer up near your train station etc.
