ENIC

So what's his motive? Is his next blog that he doesn't believe in Father Christmas

What's any journalists motive? Should we dismiss them all?
You believe what you want to. I'll wait and see what happens.
We've heard plenty of stories like this in the past. If there is an offer. Spurs will have to inform the shareholders.

I’d be happy with this.

The Qataris would presumably want Levy to stay around to drive the Northumberland Park development to completion which would be a ballache for anyone else.

I thought they'd already started work on the hotel and flats again, after the revised planning permission was signed off in August? There's actually a hard deadline on that, as it needs to be ready for Euro 2028.

Construction underway on 29-storey Spurs hotel as club aims for 2028 completion

The 180-room hotel will be six storeys taller than when it was originally approved eight years ago

I don't see what a new influx of cash would add to that, other that hedge ENIC's risk, if it's already happening?

Think the money for the hotel is already secured.
Levy seems to have plans for the whole area though. He hinted as much when doing that interview.

There's the 3 other parcels of land the club own to the west of the High Road (The Depot, The Goods Yard and The Printworks). But that's for 1000 flats combined. Not the type of thing you need a bloodstained autocracy to fund.

There's also the landlease land that they've done nothing with. There is room for massive investment in the area. Which would be hugely profitable with a tube station or crossrail 2 stopping at northumberland park. If both it would have fantastic transport links.

Station, bridge and signalling. It is effectively a siding from Tottenham Hale I believe so not necessarily easy to incorporate as a large majority of the tubes go all the way to Walthamstow.

Isn't there also an issue that the Stansted Express now uses the two old tracks, so two more would need to be built for the underground to be opened in parallel?

I Thought it was Northumberland Park way so way do I know
Honestly can’t remember the details but I do know a guy near us is a TFL drive who has mentioned it many times

 

[SpurMeUp]

I know. It's been there the last 50 years.

Where is that, where does it run?

So in theory you'd need a site above ground to 'plug-in'?

If its a state ownership then that would be me both feet out, shame but TBH my love for football and the game in general has long been on the wane

Basically a shed where they keep the trains from the victoria line. We've wanted it to be converted into a station for as long as i can remember.

It is overground or connects to the underground? I guess it could easily be an extension from Tottenham Hale.

Idk if it was ever explored, but expanding the station at WHL might be just as useful. Quite a bit closer, though less well connected.

It's above ground but it's an extension of the victoria line. If converted it would just be an extra stop on the end.
As said though tfl wanted it to be used for crossrail 2.

Could imagine there's a bunch of sites around there for development too, and would pop an extra 50k per unit onto the value. When you're developing 100s of flats that's massive.

Not sure who owns that land now? Might be outside the club right? Been siphoned off.

Its all overground, pretty extensive tracks there in and out the sheds from memory.

They would probably branch off a line and build a platform at Northumberland Park, its literally runs up to the same areas as the station as it is so likely the most likely outcome

Unlikely it will happen as there isn't much there at the moment. Would be great on match days, saving a longer walk for fans. If there are big housing developments there too, then maybe it would make sense.

Just like some other lines like the Olympia one back in the day, you just run it when something is on

And did you? You know there could be a Donald trump sitting there in a room with billions just trying to give money away.

US Soverign Fund?

Perfect !

Any new underground station would be closed on matchdays due to routine maintenance/strike action/etc. anyway.
