Yeah, but a guy on SSC said that London Transport were going to rename it without any consultation with the club, he said something like North London was mooted...the club them asked if Tottenham Hotspur would be a better suggestion and then were told that would be fine....£12M please...

That Woolwich did it doesn't mean we should. As my mother use to say.
"if your brother jumped in the Lake would you"
"yes mum I would can I go now"
Sounds plausible - Tfl essentially trying to start their own naming rights auction.
Agreed, but Woolwich did it for a reason though IMHO.
To convince a newly arrived immigrant population (mainly Irish) that they were a local club.
I don't need to tell you that with the Irish and their own sports(GAA),it's not who you support,it's where you're from.
We don't need to convince anyone we are local,We ARE local.
That would be utterly ridiculous. North Tottenham would make sense but you can't call a little station in Tottenham 'North London'.
Yeah, thought that looked a bit strange...it was North Tottenham...my bad.
TFL have been playing too much Pro Evo.
Not a fan of naming rights, let alone renaming local stations. Just because the scum did it doesn't mean we have to. The club is not the be all and end of all local culture and history.
At least I can see some commercial argument for the naming rights, but the station is bullshit IMO.

It would be a shame. Be honestly at this point I feel like there are bigger battles to fight and far worse things going on in the world to really care too much about changing the station name. I'd prefer it to stay as whl. But Leone cry if it gets changed to the name of the club I love.
Fuck that shit.
Keep the name for heritage reasons, and donate the £12m quids to social projects in the local area.
Commercial PR managing-whatever scumbags.
It really is a terrible idea. Better to hang on to that money and use it when Kane asks for a huge new contract in a few years.
There is still the road called White Hart Lane, which the station was named after in the first place.
The station is on White Hart Lane, hence the name. It would still make perfect sense.

The stadion entrance will be further south thus I'm not sure it will be on White Hart Lane (the street), but it would still make sense because of the historic value.
This sounds more likely, TFL demanding it be changed based on the station development and fishing for more money
