It went quiet for a while. Well, about a week to be exact. Must have been the record breaking premiership goal fest last weekend. However, its now back in the news. I speak of none other than the continuing saga of the Olympic stadium bid. I, of course as a Spurs supporter have a vested interest, and I would like to state first up that I am opposed to any move to Stratford no matter what form it takes.
Today, Daniel Levy once again reiterated that the new all purpose stadium that was planned to be built on land behind White Hart Lane, was not viable. Although, just a few years ago a lot of work was put into The Northumberland Park Development Project supported by local MPs David Lammy and Andy Love. There was an unveiling of the plans for the new stadium, where as usual a scale model was shown.
So how come that between then and now things have changed and now it is seen as being too costly and not workable but, that a move to Stratford to a stadium that will be demolished and then re-built will be?
It doesn't seem to make much sense. Daniel Levy has said that many Spurs supporters backed a move away from our current home. Although, judging by the amount of protests and pressure groups against it he is either not listening or is speaking to Spurs supporters who don’t seem to be reported anywhere else.
He did however say this move may not necessary be outside of the borough so that’s something.

I cannot bear the thought of Spurs leaving White Hart Lane. I hope Levy and the Board will think long and hard about what this would do to our Club. And see how much it means.
