Should we update WHL?

There are a few plans being mooted to develop the Lane one of which is to flip the entire ground 90 degrees! What are your views? Should we or leave as it is but with a smaller capacity? I like WHL as is and would hate to see any changes but there is the money to consider. Any views?

We should forgo a home stadium. Instead play all our "home" games on the road - in other parts of the world in fact. Alternatively, ground share The Emirates. Both options would make financial sense.

Fantastic idea. I knew you'd come round to my way of thinking. It's all about the share price chaps !

Seriously though, Spurs should look to increase the capacity to boost revenues but at the same time not loss the intensity and advantage a full capacity brings. A sensible capacity of 52,000 with the option to increase if demand dictates is the right approach.

However, I suspect the knock on effect from the credit crunch will further delay a full scale development. Would surprise me if ENIC opt for a structured redeveloping starting with the East Stand and increase capacity to 42/44,000.

I love to stay at the present site or not stray too far from it. An increased capacity to c.50,000 would seem sensible. But the local council and whoever runs transport in London these days has gotta work with the Club to signifcantly improve underground, rail and road links.

Happy Valley Pitch 4 would be a nice home ground for us.

Agreed with Ezza. WHL is a fucking pain to get to on London transport. I hate to think how much of my life has been wasted doing that 20 minute walk between Seven Sisters and WHL, a stretch of road where I think I can report I saw every crime on the UK statute book being committed over my years of watching Spurs.

I say keep the site and redevelop it, getting it up to around 50,000 which I think is sensible.
