Like shitting a pineapple I'd imagine.
Profit before glory me old chum
The new stadium is really awesome. I went once with my british spurs uncle. Norwich 1-0 just before covid. But nomatter what they call it, it will still be White Hart Lane
Ultimately the bottom line on White Hart Lane is that 36k was just a complete non-starter for a club with any kind of trophy-winning ambition, expanding it to the degree it would have been viable would have dramatically changed the character of the place anyway, and because of how hemmed in it was by dense London real estate (unlike say Anfield) those options were always going to look pretty unfavorable compared to an entirely new build.
Does the new stadium have its annoyances and reflect Levy's "anything but football competitiveness" ideology in certain ways? Absolutely. But its greatest quality is that it exists (unlike the festering messes at Chelsea and United), and it gives the club a huge leg up competitively. We should be grateful for it now, and under leadership that is not Daniel Levy the possibilities there are much, much greater in a way they could not have been at OWHL.
I see, a non palatable one that refuses to budge.
The often missed point is that it is, whether someone wants to appreciate the usage or not, a Tottenham Hotspur stadium. There's been a lot of details put it to make sure that anyone visiting for another reason knows that it is. You don't put those details in unnecessarily.
If it was a blank sheet stadium like the one West Ham have occupied, there would be a lot of ground for criticism. Even the Emirates is pretty much a red lined toilet seat. I don't think there's anything there's much in there that points back to highbury, and even more nefarious is that I think Kronke owns it, not the club.
The person rsponsible for the "anchor tenant" & "NFL stadium" was head of THFC’s business development Aidan Mullally when he was on a panel at an event Advertising Week Europe in 2019, sounds very much an advertising pitch maybe to try and pinch games from Wembley, and the idea of a franchise at the stadium is a bit fanciful, are ENIC going to buy a franchise for 4 billion dollars and the rest. The club really should have put out some sort of statement after Mullally said that.
Anyone who has read the book Destination Tottenham can see that this is the home of Tottenham Hotspur FC and the other events are just a few extras when were not using it, anyone here rent out their home whilst on their winter or summer holidays , is it still your home?

They really shouldn’t have needed to clarify his statement. Reads perfectly well to the sane amongst us. Just misunderstood by the dense.
You understand Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium operate and are listed as two separate companies?
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK
And no, of course ENIC wouldn't buy an NFL franchise. The aim would be a UK based franchise signing a long term agreement to use their stadium.
Nothing in my post suggests anything other than the OWHL resembled the traditional football ground compared to the multi purpose stadia that have replaced them.
Not sure what you are getting at by using the term 'anchor tenant' ....to whom are you referring, the Club the playing staff or the fans?
I love the place and not only do I see it as a step up to the OWHL I see it as an upgrade over Wembley also. That said I'm realistic enough to determine the only thing my ST guarantees me is 19 visits a season and that's how I view it plain and simple
As I posted earlier it is a breathtakingly beautiful stadium but it is certainly not owned by us and those who do own it built it specifically to use as multi event venue and that is exactly what they are doing. I say this not as a criticism more an observation it doesn't bother me in the slightest that the stadium is used for other sporting or non sporting events.
Really wasn’t having a pop at you at all. I agree with all you said. Pretty sure I even gave your post a “like”.
The “anchor tenant” thing was mentioned back in the day by one of the commercial team at the club and has since been used as a stick to beat the owners with, by people who either don’t know what it means or deliberately misinterpret it.
They maybe seperate companies but they are the both subsideries of Tottenham Hotspur Limited which is the overall controlling company, The Woolwich have the same sort of set up with the Emirates Woolwich (EMIRATES STADIUM) LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK. I have no idea why they are set up like this but they all have the same directors and overall ownership, you would need to consult a corporate lawyer to understand it all.
Who are the UK franchises that are going to set up a NFL team in London, there is absolutely no rumours of this happening, it's all hearsay.
Back at you mate 
wasn't having a go in reply. I simply felt the need to elaborate on where I was coming from with regard to the old and the new. I think we all are guilty of a sense of ownership of the Club/ team/ground when really the more important thing to remember is home is where the heart is and if that be Hackney Marshes then so be it.

Try to find a top club in which the football team owns the stadium.
The Liverpool Football Club & Athletics Ground (subsidiary of Fenway) own Anfield.
Manchester United Limited (subsidiary of Manchester United PLC) own Old Trafford.
Chelsea Pitch Owners own Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City Council own The Etihad.
Greater London Authority Holdings Limited own whatever the fuck West Ham’s dump is calling itself this week.
Etc.
Ah I didn't know that, well it's a pity it couldn't have been upgraded.
The team were so shit in the Premier League last season, that other teams with lower stadium capacities even than White Hart Lane, and cheaper ticket prices than the new stadium, were better.
I'm happy that they won the Europa League final and had an open top bus parade but maybe they should of had a second parade about the Premier League performance so that the supporters could have turned out to throw rotten apples at them.
