First they tried to claim taxpayers money to furlough staff, now they take Council tax payers money when Haringey and unpaid volunteers try to help the neediest in the borough. Maybe they can aim to get just a little bit lower in the public‘s esteem.

'May be they can aim to get just a little bit lower in the public's esteem'
I like that statement, it made me laugh outloud!! More seriously I agree in my view there is absolutely no reasons why they could not have 'donated' these costs given the millions they make as a club.

Haringey council could have used the irish centre in Pretoria Road ? had they not closed it down !!! such a shame with so many people using that club for different activities.

Just to play devils advocate, it's possible that Haringey council insisted on the extra security and cleaning, in order to run a food hub, over and above the club's usual running costs. You can argue the toss on whether the council should pick up extra costs that they insist on over and above the free provision of a venue and base costs including utilities etc, but it's a slightly different argument...

I think the onus is on the council to negotiate better terms - that being said, obviously the club could do more to help the community.
The owner being rich is irrelevant, he's not the one who decides how much the rooms are rented out for, there's someone who's job it is to do this.

It isn’t a room, it’s the huge underground carpark which was needed, not only for the act of taking deliveries, sorting and packing but for the vans coming to load up and take the stuff out. There are few, if any, covered areas of that size in the borough so I cannot image Haringey had a lot of other options. As there was no use of the ground Spurs lost no income from the carpark being used for other means. The Spurs charity did not contribute one penny to help with the effort.
At the same time local people, including people in my own street, did shopping and made pharmacy visits for vulnerable people, filling cars with petrol at their own expense.

They are also alledgedly continuing to purchase property in North Tottenham.
Are they into football or cynical property speculation?
This is a totally cynical big business that is having extremly negative consequences for residents.
You need to look at how they manoeuvred to demolish a trio of elegant historic buildings on the corner of the stadium site (not industrial ones).
The design of the flyng saucer is just so in-your-face-ugly and imposing in the context of a modest London High Street.....
Match days are a horror. Now the council is paninning to impose evens tday parking on us here in Bruce Grove. I have looked at their events days programme with concerts when tehre are no matches.
It is going to be a horror second guessing when they have matches/events in order to know whether you can park or not.
PS - I do not own a car!

Football is not about football any longer. You have my sympathies.
