could we not do a spurs and knock the stadium down and build a new one? Groundshare with a team like MK Dons for a season or 2?

 

Or better yet couldn't we knock down Spurs' stadium

To build a 60k seater we'd need to find at least an extra 4 acres on top of our current site.

I wouldn't look to rename it. The Power Station sounds apt :)

 

Or we could just call it The Fortress and be done with it. Let's face it, we're never going to lose a game at home with Jose at the helm.

Well done, now you've jinxed it and we'll lose our next one.

Hahha total bollox

You lot are probably gonna think I'm sad for this, but I was thinking about it earlier. Its inevitable that Samsung would want to brand it if we move. But Samsung stadium doesn't sound right to me. I think the Galaxy stadium would sound much better. Even though it sounds American lol.

 

Is it one big chocolate bar?

Honestly guys these luxury apartments will be much more beneficial to London's economy than a sports stadium. It's been debunked that sport stadiums bring any kind of economic growth to an area. They don't. Stadiums sit idle for most of the year, but don't get me wrong Battersea would have been amazing.

I can't stand the thought of more overpriced apartments in London to be honest. Apartments owned by obscenely rich folk sit idle most of the year aswell as they're usually off gallivanting about showing off how wealthy they are.

Whereas somebody also pointed out, match days bring insane amounts of revenue to local businesses, especially with the additional capacity. Would also more importantly, be beneficial to the club.

This country needs more iconic stadia. Especially a building such as this. Big time disappointment.

Hahaha I was thinking more along the lines of Galaxy as in Samsung Galaxy, but I think you knew that anyway lol. Would sound a hell of a lot better than the Samsung stadium.

Lol class warfare much?

I'll admit, there is a bit of bitterness there. Working class man. But it is a valid point though. London does not need any more exclusive plush apartments. If anything it needs more affordable housing for the working man. London is pricing people like myself out big time.

Not really, London is dying a slow death these days.

 

Slowly driving out anyone on under 60,000. The mega rich buy property as a failsafe way of storing money, leaving huge areas unoccupied, destroying communities.

In ten years time most of London will be like Paris, no more than a glorified museum. Its a real shame

I agree with that.

It's the same in Manhattan, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.  It's called gentrification. Gentrification leads to lower crime rates. Yeah, rent is gonna rise. It costs more to live in desirable places. Fact of life. London is a very desirable place to live. I guess you would prefer if Roman Abramovich never moved to London?.

Now when did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth fella. All I said, is there needs to be more diversity and more affordable accomodation. Which is a fair point! There is already plenty of pricey property in London as is.

Gentrification only serves to alienate people based on circumstance and is incredibly ignorant. You cannot keep crime out just by raising rents.

It's a statistical fact that gentrification leads to less crime.

Them plebs gotta go somewhere

That's because all you working class are chavs and criminals. You need to get yourself a well-paid, respectable job, like banking or managing hedge funds.

Rah, what an incredibly ignorant remark. I am working class and have a one hundred percent clean record. To get a job like that requires diplomas and believe it or not, many like myself come from families who couldn't afford university fees.

Who cares about less crime if no one can live there in the first place?

 

Maybe they should concentrate on reducing crime for normal people, not just shipping them out the way

I believe Zeta's tongue was quite firmly in his cheek.

Bang on. But as Zeta pointed out, anyone not on 60K is an undesirable chav and not worth worrying over. Seriously stunned at that remark still.

Pretty sure that comment wasn't meant seriously

I believe Zeta's tongue was quite firmly in his cheek.

I really hope so. Because that completely stunned me.

Most billionaires never graduated college. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Peter Branson.  Just sayin'. Be an entrepreneur.  You should immigrate to America and you'll get to earn much more and keep more. Europe is a socialist sh*thole.
