Spurs at the AMEX?!

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Money doesn't make "everything ok". If some of you were running the club you have us operating as 'Agents for Dry Cleaners' operating out of one of them booths, not to mention the 4p in the £ we could get from Camelot.

 

[Vicar!]

Spurs v Schalke in the Europa Cup? Would be funny!

I think they'll end up at Wembley, and they'll just close the top tier for their games. FA desperately needs the money and THFC PLC needs somewhere which will bring in enoguh revenue to keep them competing in the upper echelons of the EPL and help pay for the new stadium.

 

[Hamilton]

I'd welcome that. Nice revenue stream.

And can we have some nice free loan players as well please?

That seems the most sensible solution...which probably means it won't happen.

Why on earth would they come the wrong side of London for their fans if they can't find something in the capital. Surely Stadium MK would make far more sense?

Who says all their fans live in North London?

 

[edna krabappel]

Milton Keynes makes far more logistical sense. Plus it'll be nice for the MK season ticket holders to see another of their favourite teams in action regularly.

That Man United cup game recently- I think I read that MK pulled in over twenty thousand more than their average gate. I know pretty much every club (outside the PL at least) would see a big crowd if United were in town, but an extra twenty thousand!

Speaks volumes.

Absolutely. Absurd to think they'd want to come all the way down to the south coast

 

[The Birdman]

Clever by spurs going around the country promoting there own brand.

 

[BensGrandad]

Judging by the number of shirts seen they have a vast number of 'fans ' living down this way.

Almost every club would sell an extra 20k if Utd were playing in a cup match. Only difference is that MK actually have the spare capacity.

 

[Rogero]

I wonder who would sit in my seat.

I'm not so sure. Say Leyton Orient had all those spare seats. Or Hartlepool, or Carlisle. Sure, there'd be a few thousand day trippers, and plenty of away fans. But most of those clubs barely get 20,000 total when they go to Wembley for play offs etc, I genuinely couldn't see Orient getting 20k more on the gate simply because United's reserves were in town for the league cup.

[SUP][/SUP]Just watched itv london news...
The chap in the studio discussing it-says the amex is a possibility and has a capacity of 27,500...Also MKD's has a capacity of 22k,where do they get this info from?

 

[Ferring Marine]

Cream cheese bagels on the concourses - that would be horrendous

 

[BensGrandad]

Kosher salt beef sadwiches instead of pies, great perhaps we would follow.

Including you.

They are my second team and have been since 1951, when as a young lad at school everybody had a favourite big club to go with their actual favourite team who they actually supported.

This. They'd sell it out every week, loads of Spurs fans down here who'd definitely go.

But aren't these mostly plastics who have maybe visited White Hart Lane once if you're lucky. Can't see them going week in week out.
