I think the only brick of any real significance, well for me at least, would be from the East Stand. Everything else is just meh.
Mind you I was shown what the pikies were selling off from their campsite, things like toilet signs for £200, so well worth a rummage through a few skips because you would have to lock me up and have me certified if you caught me spunking £200 on a bog sign.
Can someone please tell me how it's been funded and how long to pay back? Quite curious with how they've planned for it.
With money...
According to Wikipedia...
On 21 August 2009 Tottenham Hotspur made a Stock Exchange announcement that it was issuing 30 million new shares aimed at raising £15 million to fund the first stage of the proposed development. The funds specifically relate to the professional costs required to advance the project to the point where a full planning application can be submitted. The club's major shareholder, ENIC International Ltd subscribed to take up 27.8 million of the shares.The club have also bid for an investment from the Regional Growth Fund (RGF). A decision is still awaited.
On 22 July 2011, supporter group Supporting Our Future submitted a proposal for a £50 million funding initiative to Spurs to support the Northumberland Development Project by way of a Community Share scheme. This proposal was presented after polling Spurs fans on their views of the club and Northumberland Park Development, and extensive consultation with the club, Haringey Council, and Supporters Direct.
The club announced in April 2014 that it had divested some 'non-core' properties to the west of the High Road relating to phase 1 of the project to TH Property Limited, a subsidiary of ENIC, with the proceeds used to pay down debt secured against those properties.
I guess the rest will be paid for by the naming rights and whatever money is down the back of the sofa in Joe's luxury yacht

People have been locked up & certified for far less than a careless spunk up on a bog sign after a rummage round a skip...
This has shown up on SSC, a comparison between our "old" new design and the Olympic stadium, look at all the fucking seats outside our stadium!!! Apparently in our later design our seats are even closer to the pitch.
Obviously not correct, because I've heard all sorts of things from Karren Brady about how the fans will be seated very close to the pitch.This has shown up on SSC, a comparison between our "old" new design and the Olympic stadium, look at all the fucking seats outside our stadium!!!

Everyone knows that the blueprints don't dictate where the fans sit when they simply will themselves to BELIEVE that the running track doesn't exist and they're floating in midair sitting on bubbles.

You can take the athletes out of the athletics stadium but you cant take the....oh, fuck, this isn't going to work. Point is, it's still an athletics stadium they have. Just look at the profile of the seating. So pleased I am a Spurs fan not a West Ham one. Fuck me.
Ask nastly and act the twat, you may get it chucked at you..
