Zero chance of a Victoria Line extension to Northumberland Park or anywhere else, this has all been discussed before and deemed as not value for money.
What is planned is Crossrail 2 which would come through Northumberland Pk but that is light years away .
Date: Sunday 22 May 2011
London Underground has already evaluated the business case to extend the Victoria line to Northumberland Park. The outcome (weighing up the benefits, demand and costs) indicated that the investment would not represent value for money and could not be justified when compared alongside other projects which would deliver greater benefits to London.
Victoria Line Extension to Northumberland Park
Questions to the Mayor: Will you please ask TfL to conduct a feasibility study to for extending the Victoria Line to Northumberland Park? This extension would bring enormous regeneration benefits to the wider N17 area and would be widely welcomed by local residents.www.london.gov.uk

IF we were owned by someone like the Qatari's you watch our wonderful Mayor Sadiq greenlight a Victoria Line extension in about 5 seconds
Only if they would foot the bill and the way the Victorial line works if you started sending some of the trains to Northumberland Pk the service from Seven Sisters to Walthamstow Central would suffer.
I don't see what is wrong with walking the mile and a quarter to the tube stations it keeps people fit.
Twickenham holds 82,000 , the nearest tube is two miles away and the ordinary rail stations are further away than WHL and NP stations and they seem to manage OK and it's not easier by car at Twickers, got stuck there once on a match day it was terrible.

It’s all about cache with the Emirates boys. The want their club on the main Tube map, and they want the Qatar Air or BeIn branding on that map when the stadium is named.
I'm sure the desire for a nearer tube station has a lot more to do with NFL, boxing and music concerts than the football.
(Future owners are likely to be even more interested in leveraging this...)
Open a tube station at Northumberland Park and you deprive all the shops along the High Road of a lot matchday walk in trade, think the shopkeepers would prefer things the way they are at the moment.
Yeah thats 2011 when we were getting 36,000 at home matches.Zero chance of a Victoria Line extension to Northumberland Park or anywhere else, this has all been discussed before and deemed as not value for money.

Its now 62,000, and there's NFL, gigs you name it.
Different world in N17 now
In fact I think we should shut down the whole network to get those lardarses to walk everywhere and get fit
This really is quite an interesting take on the Victoria Line extension

I'm sure they would, but someone sat thousands of miles away in his desert palace isn't going to care about them.
Yes but the stadium plans were known at the time, the original plans were submitted in 2009 that's why Levy/ENIC lobbied for an extension to the Vic line as they knew about the increased crowds but TFL decided no .
The lack of a tube station hasn't put people off from coming to the stadium , sells out every game and generated millions for the local area, even the King came last week, not by tube though

Did the city owners gentrify the area round their stadium then?
It genuinely looked like a bomb site with a stadium in the middle of it before they came in
Massively. Newcastle's new owners are helming similar projects up there as well.
plans get submitted all the time. Most of them turn out to be pipedreams. At the time it was still possible that we might move out to Enfield. If I'd been TFL I'dv thought that the most likely WHL in the future would be a 40-44,000 stadium. Marginally more than the 36,000 it was at the time.
It'll put people off going on stadium tours and all the other stuff. Put it another way. If you can get from Victoria Station and Oxford Circus to the stadium in half an hour or less that makes a big difference. Fans would probably pop up just to buy something at the club store.
Part of the reason I've taken to selling (or trying to sell) tickets is being fed right up with the matchday commute.
I live 14 miles away in a straight line, however have to budget 2 hours each way. Drive, train, tube, long walk, reverse.
Wasn't a pipe dream as the stadium plans were approved in 2011 same year as TFL were lobbied to extend the Victoria Line. All the other stuff about Stratford etc was never going to happen it was all political manouvering to get some funding from Haringey Council and the Mayor, Levy/ENIC had been buying up land between Northumberland Pk and Park Lane for years they weren't going to let all that go to waste.
On non match days it's easy to get to the stadium if coming from central London, Victoria Line and change at Seven Sisters onto the overground to WHL or Liverpool St direct to WHL.
I went to the club store an a Saturday non match day a few weeks ago there were queues waiting to get in at opening time plus on non match days the stadium is highly accessible by car , you just park in Sainsbury's and walk up to shop, stadium tour or F1.
Funding pledge helps Spurs commit to stay in Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club confirms it will stay in the area after funding pledges from Haringey Council and the Mayor of London.

Spurs fan ST I sit next to travels over 100 miles to matches and hardly misses a game and gets to all the away games when he has enough ticketing points.
St's on the other side of me are a couple in their seventies live around 25 miles away in the middle of Essex, come in by car park up away from stadium, get 34 bus to the Angel then walk to stadium and vice versa on way home, just for the record none of them are anti Levy. ST two seats away from me lives in Basingstoke , never misses a game , one if front of me lives in Guildford and once again neither anti Levy.
Takes all sorts .

A 247 from Seven Sisters is not that much of a problem nor is a 30m walk.
