Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
David Lammy Moans about Tottenham's Proposal to move to olympic stadium
Mr Lammy this morning on BBC radio 5 moaned that if Spurs moved into Stratford they should change their name as they will no longer be playing in the borough.He moved out of his constituancy but we did'nt call for a new MP. He also harped on about how bad it will be for residents as this is one of the poorest boroughs in the country.
It makes sense traffic wise to move as the infrastructure is at Stratford. If our borough is so poor why did he not object to the council putting up the parking levy by 50%.A move to Stratford will help the councils pollution problem.

I am FOR the move , (i'm not a Spurs fan ) but this makes good commercial sense plus it makes life easier for fans . White Hart Lane is a devil to get to and with an extra twenty thousand people leaving ,it will be a nightmare.
I also wanted to point out MR Lammy's silly statement. His Government spent a crazy amount of money on this stadium that only a large football club could possibly support but insisted on the running track remaining which doesn't give a good standard of watchability. As for his comments on moving out of the borough,See Brighton and Hove Albion (they are moving to Lewes) no complaints their) Even the great Glen Hoddle laughed at how silly his remarks were.

This is football, common sense, commercial or otherwise has nothing to do with it.
West Ham have a better opportunity to use it and are happy for the athletics track and it's closer to their historical beginnings.
Spurs will not move, it makes absolute no sense commercially, for the borough, for the community, for the business's that feed of the club, for the fans, for the club and for the athletics legacy.
It worked at Arsenal, it'll work at Spurs and I for one support any club who aspires to stay within their community (Arsenal was pre FA conditions) and turning away from lifeless industrial estate stadiums.

Needless to say, I agree with Birdy and also think THFC should stay where it belongs - In Tottenham!
My parents lived not far from the ground for a few years and Match Days were just part of life in N17.

The public transport issues are really not serious and could easily be solved. In fact requiring less money than BJ is squandering on his still engineless wooden mock-up of a bus. It just a question of priorities.

You should be grateful, the club is there .. look up Tottenham in any social media site and you get pages of the football club and photos of it. Without it, what be left to report about Tottenham?
Think about your property prices !
Harringay is good example of somewhere (previously) only known because of negative reporting.

How about we sort out the betting shops before we take on the Football clubs Mr Lammy? This is the least of Harringey's problems.

As a West Ham fan, I would love to see them move into the Olympic Stadium, but Spurs' plans are the safest bet. Earlier, I wrote a forum post on HoL with a compelling case for the club to quit N17. Also, I've had a letter published in the "Tottenham and Wood Green Journal" today (Thurs 20th) on the same subject.

Well looks like Spurs will be staying put unless something drastic happens:
West Ham Get Olympic Stadium backing
Good news for Tottenham and Haringey

Olympic Park Legacy Committee has made a good recommendation about the stadium. Tottenham Hotspurs submission was lacking credibility. More than that, THFC's board made the bid on the morning after planning decisions were agreed by Haringey. In fact, for over twenty five years, THFCs dithering has blighted North Tottenham, New River (once a prime atheletics track) has been run down, and its always someone else's fault.
Now the sabre rattling about a judicial review indicates the bad faith of the current THFC board and its chairman, Daniel Levy. He should step down - or be sacked.

Like it or not Daniel Levy brings hard cash to Tottenham businesses and happiness to Spurs fans - a brutal fact for a die-hard Arsenal supporter like myself, often surrounded by miserable and mithering Spurs supporters. In recent years, the Lilywhites have changed how people feel about them locally. More proactive and conscious of what their multicultural local community looks like (aah remembering Walter Tull, a wide range of Foundation funding activities and so on). All Spurs want to do is grow. Every which way they have turned perhaps for as you say 25 years must seem like a closed door or a very expensive one to open. Macho frustration and bitter pills like this one will naturally leave Spurs feeling bruised and wounded at first and lash out with judicial reviews and threats to leave the area again. The point is how fast can Haringey and Spurs sit around the table again and point big arrows at this Massive Growth Opportunity (MGO) so this supposedly pro-business Government has a Massive Good Excuse (MGE) to do its favourite thing and subsidise its favoured big businesses and cough up the difference between what Spurs has and what Haringey needs? MTAGW stands for Might Take a Good While? and could by summer be replaced with MNTLAA (Might Not Take Long At All).
