That has some good information about the progression of the development in the June 2009 update. The council seems right behind them as well. Can only be good things.
Seems a touch strange to want to save that Red House, seems like it hasn't been of importance for a number of years. To me this seems like the most likely of the proposed new stadiums for EPL teams to proceed ATM. Mainly because Liverpool can't get it's act together.

As the bloke above said in Muriel's Wedding, "you can't stop progress!" but I think it would have been a neat touch keeping the Red House.

Dig dig.

So the latest version of these plans is a new stadium adjacent WHL and a possible ground share with MK Dons during construction.

56k capacity and I'd hit the sh*t out of this stadium.

Milton Keynes? Why not Wembley? It's a little closer, aka, in the same city.

Every other club in the football league is entitled not to have its FA give financial advantage to a competing club. If Tottenham wants the rewards of expanding its stadium then they should own the down side risk in the interim as well.

Why not ground share with Arsenal, that's close...

I'm not sure Arsenal would say no to that. A tenant for a year or two would help pay down the debt the Emirates construction

Oh dear. Tottenham ground sharing with the Fake Dons. You have to be a little scared for humanity when sh*t ideas don't go away.

They're also signing a 10 year, 2 games per year deal with the NFL (effectively taking over the Wembley contract)

Aerial construction pic.

Actually happening.

Thankfully looks like they're going with 61,000 capacity. That 54,000 from earlier was just so half way here, half way there, you just wanted to punch it out.
