Will they use the land released by the old ground to build lucrative housing like they did at Arsenal?

Looks like about five blocks of apartments fill the void left.

I'm sure I heard somebody say they were there for 2 seasons and then West Ham were there for 1 season while there's was done.
Was building around Highfield Road ever considered back in the day?

1 season with possibly a second if the project over runs.

The new stadium is going to be immense. It will be by far the best of the new grounds.

Loved WHL...it was my first away game as well. Can anyone remember what year it was when Babb scored the opener and Wegerle put us 2.1 up? I was probably about 10 so 94, 95? My dad is a Spurs fan and we were in the away end with the Cov fans, he wasn't happy that day haha.

Shame for Spurs fans and football, another grand old ground gone just so the club's owners can bring in more corporate 'clients' and daytrippers.

Not really sure they have a waiting list for season tickets of over 30000

They're only there for one season. It's then likely that Chelsea will play at Wembley (or potentially Twickenham) for 2-3 years whilst Stamford Bridge is rebuilt.

They should be alright.
But my current employer is a fan and does worry at the level they're leveraged to it.

Yup, over the years a new ground, or new stand, has caused issues for many a club.

Really think many under appreciate the job Wenger did steering Arsenal through the Emirates move.

Think they might hold the record for the highest English domestic club attendance, whilst
Playing at Wembley.

True. They say they are doing it to generate extra off-the-field revenue. Odd that as the experts on here say football clubs don't need extra revenue. They just seem to rejoice in the low number of STs sold.
