Clearly latter bit in bold is true.

Almost certainly driven by fact he/they did not agree their premises should have been CPO'd even though the offer to put up alternative larger/more modern premises at 500 WHL, maybe 500 metres away was a pretty generous offer. Price of progress for the redevelopment of the whole area

But not sure I've seen any pro Spurs information for the 5/6/7 years I've been aware of him, other than cosmetic things which any person trying to impersonate a Spurs fan might say. But anything positive to say about Spurs - no, and far less positive even about most players. I'd suggest if they were Spurs fans (maybe because they lived or worked in area) they are no longer
 
Joshua-Usyk tickets went on sale today. I would be travelling from abroad and I am wondering if there's any point on trying to get tickets to for example sections 512-517. Can you see anything when it's boxing?
 
I spent at least a decade so excited about this stadium.
The idea that we'd have one of the biggest in the world and that all that extra money would benefit the team.

I now believe with absolutely no doubt it was just a ruse for ENIC to make more money.

It's financed off a very very long term loan with relatively small repayments based on a lump sum in 2050.
It's multi purpose is obvious. Football, NFL boxing, music concerts, non match day experiences etc. Income all year round from all different demographics.

And despite this, we're still pleading poverty.
What a way to take something as impressive as that stadium and make it a sour reminder that it's it there for the benefit of THFC. It's a cash cow for ENIC and the team will still be run on a shoestring.

We’ve just spent £42mill on a centre half
Hell of a shoestring that is.
Have a day off please.

The stadium only makes money if people pay to visit it to watch sport, eat and drink etc

Or if they visit to go to an exhibition or conference held at stadium or a music venue etc.

Ever heard of covid restrictions ? No people at stadium = no match day revenue, no other income from events etc and £200m less revenue in last year or so.

Maybe that has a bearing on why teams (except ManCity and Chelsea mainly ) are broke

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't believe I'll see it.
