Of course we wont, me personally though(as ive explained before) will not give up my CPO even when the new ground is completed, its our safety net & long may that continue.

 

Like you CB I am a CPO (am also a ST holder) and do no want to give up my share. I was at the CPO AGM in January and everyone there wants the CPO to retain a stake in the ground and club and have no desire to block the re-development.

Interesting article here, wrote by a Spurs fan but he points out some of the problems we may face building the new ground.

Chelsea explore Olympic Stadium groundshare with West Ham

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36266068

 Brady has confirmed our approach in the press.

 

“Chelsea asked to come and have a look at our new home and I showed their people around. They commented it was one of the best football stadia in the world and that’s because it is.

 

“I have very good relations with Chelsea and, yes, they have enquired about a ground share in 2018.

 

“Any final decision on letting the Blues move in will be ours and not the London Legacy Development Corporation’s, or indeed Chelsea.”

Rather share than use Wembley personally.

I'm not especially enamored at the prospect of playing in the east end tbh, let alone at the home of West Ham.

I'd don't mind Wembley (beggars can't be choosers) but I was hoping for Twickenham.

We are talking about buying over Brickworks to ensure we have enough bricks for the stadium build.

Always wanted to be a construction QS.

 

100 bricklayers

 

1000 bricks per day per bricklayer

 

100'000 bricks laid per day

 

/60000000 = 60 days

You would make a terrible QS. You've completely ignored Monday being much less for bricks laid due to more visits to the toilet after the standard Sunday night vindaloo. Then Friday afternoons are a write off as plans for the weekend are made. Wednesday will be a slow day, it's when you pick your weekend bets and go to the bookies to put them on. Thursday is slowing down for the weekend day. So that leaves Tuesday as the work day.

1000 bricks a day also, you'd need to find some brickies like this

He'll be getting Chinese labour over, Roman knows how to save a few quid.

I once knew a man (drank himself to an early death) who claimed to be able to lay a thousand bricks per day.

That was Freddie Mercury. I think you misheard him.

Ha, they were possibly bull nose bricks.

 Spat my tea out   

That's 2-3 bricks a minute.. I wouldn't be setting foot inside there if that was the case lol

May have to come out of retirement.....700-1000 a day (depending on how many hours in a work day)should not be problem for a young fit bricky on a straight line and someone working the corners and jointing.  All you're doing is basically walking along the scaffold one way and laying the mortar, walking back the other laying bricks........ might need a chiropractor at the end of each day though

I think the Bridge might take a few weeks to finish

Yeah no hod carriers to hold you up nowadays either, everything forked up, ready mixed compo, full packs of bricks blocks on to loading bays on scaffold.

 

Will be interesting to watch this baby get constructed, that's for sure.

The FA's 'favourites' have been given Wembley while Three points lane is being redeveloped...

Craven cottage it is for us then lol

It's not a case of Spurs being 'favourites'. They are simply way ahead of us in every aspect of their stadium build. We have so much to do before a brick is even laid.

Tottenham will be there full time next year for a season and I'd wager we will move in for a few years from 18/19.

I'd rather Craven Cottage over Wembley. What a sh*t area/journey that is.

The problem with Craven Cottage is despite it being local, it's so small it can barely accommodate our present season ticket holders. If the club faced shutting out club members for three years it would be a financial blow in the short term as what would be the point of paying £25 when there is literally no chance of getting a ticket? Then the longer term effects could also be bad as it may take some time to repair that damage. I'm sure the club will see the benefits of at least a 50K capacity stadium as they need to grow the match going support to hope to eventually fill a 60K Stamford Bridge.

I'm sure they'll be less bothered by the increased journey from Putney than they will be about enticing new fans from other regions. The hardcore support will stick with the club because that's what it does.

I'm sure it'll be Wembley if not possibly the Olympic thing. It's just that I reckon it's going to be two or three years away yet.

I've been hearing that this plan might not work with us not being given the green lights to build over the rail track.

Worrying times if we have to start from scratch. We really should've won that Battersea bid.
