Wasn't it a few fans who came up with the idea of the CPO, though obviously credit to Ken for backing it.

Pretty certain it was Ken's idea dkw. I have heard him speak of the situation at the time and his wish to make certain that the ground could never be purchased by developers again. Setting up the CPO scheme was the vehicle to ensure that.

An article about the history of the CPO. I thought the CPO was created before 1992. All the beer and whisky over the years must have addled the brain.

    For some reason I thought it was some fans who put the idea forward to Ken, not sure why though. Either way it was possibly the best idea anyone associated with our club has ever had.

    I don’t know, I still think the decision not to name us Kensington Football Club (KFC) was an important one.

    Not much given away there....wonder what the legal difficulties were with lowering the share price? 

    I interpret that as the legal difficulty is in selling the CPO shares from the Nike megastore? The lower cost share price has already been voted on and agreed. Was this clarified in the Q&A session @Boyne?

    I would urge any Chelsea fan coming into this thread to take the time to read the CPO Chairman's statement.

    Mods is it alright if I post up the link to buy CPO shares?

    @justYou are correct, the legal difficulty is with selling in the megastore. The exact details are not clear. Can confirm that the lower price for shares was agreed at the AGM in 2018. Hope that helps.

    f**k off yourself what’s your f**kin problem, i didn’t realise there was a thread for f**kin Tottenham and now I see you’ve posted the same sh*t on there. No one likes the spuds on here but fact is it’s a f**kin impressive stadium. Chill out for f**k sake.

    As your so proud of this being "our" forum it would be awfully nice of you to make a donation to the financial upkeep of it.

    @PloKoon13 ones full of sh*t and the other ones a toilet. 

    Edit: Got another one. You’re more likely to find a trophy in the toilet!

    There used to be a moody match day car park off the High Rd Tottenham- the geyser that run it had a sideline in selling Arsenal Karzi paper complete with Cannon imprints.

    So spurs new ground opens today about time, but the worry I have is that we could be left behind by other clubs, I don't mean City Liverpool and Utd, but pains me to say it but potentially the three other main London clubs. I love the bridge and never want to move away, but are the club looking at the new sh*te Hart lane and thinking we need to pull our finger out, or are they content to play not second or third but fourth fiddle to the other London clubs.

    Don't get get me wrong I would never want the Olympic stadium as our home, would never want the grotty location of sh*te Hart lane, or the crap fanbase that frequents the Emirates, but what actually are the owner or board thinking at present?

    As long as Roman remains in exile, nothing major will change at the club.

    We're going to bob along threading water finishing 4th-6th until something drastically changes.

    The stadium development should be pretty much underway by this stage but the fact its been dumped on the scrap heap indefinitely, makes me really worried about the long term sustainability of the club.

    Spurs new stadium is impressive inside but its a copy and paste bowl that you see everywhere on the planet, if our development went ahead it would be one of the best looking stadiums in Europe.

    Too early to say, if we get the transfer ban imposed and have to bring through the youngsters and they succeed it would become more likely a new buyer will step in and then a stadium rebuild or new site.

    Of course we might just bob along too.

    Think that's being a bit disingenuous. I think their stadium is incredibly. A single tier stand behind the goal is what we had originally planned for Battersea. 

    Doesn't really matter what it looks like on the outside, it's the experience in the stadium that matters. 

    After last night's game with thousand of empty seats do we really need a sixty thousand stadium.

    There would have been 23000 empty seats.

    We shold have a re think.

    Knock down the shed and hotels and build a huge single teir stand.

    Get the proper shed back.

    45 to 50 would be plenty.

    Just my opinion

    It's what I was thinking. It's impressive that Spurs can fill a stadium midweek with close to 60k fans. Meanwhile we struggle to get 40k.

    We are located in arguably the most difficult area of London for building a new stadium.

    It is either build on the land that's available or find an area further afield but still close enough not to lose our identity too much.
