Spurs’ new stadium

Peak Levy this:

Horrible man

Peak Levy this:

So he'd be happy to increase ticket costs on top of transport, food, drink etc for spurs away support just to get an extra few million in the coffers every year? Even though every club would get it and there would be no advantage to spurs? Why am I not surprised at the ****?

I take it from that, that until you actually open the stadium, even if you paid for a season ticked, its not compulsory to attend wembley ?

If so, that's not a bad deal.

Correct. If you go to none of the games, you will get your money back (although the club have had it for up to a year). But it is a bad deal if you go to all, or even any, of the games. You will have paid significantly more (up to 50%) for the same seat that you had last season - paid for a Rolls Royce, got a people carrier.

IIRC Jim a few clubs’ games were last minute rearranged, because of the fuck up by Spuds with the City game, which adversely affected fans

Yes, I think that one or two other clubs (Fulham, Southampton?) were affected by the rearrangement of our match. But I was responding to the specific claim that lots of other clubs' away fans had been "fucked about" by the new stadium delay.

What will you owe on the new stadium when it is finished, how many years will the pay off take? , if you are privacy to that info

As of October last year, Tottenham have a debt facility of up to £637m. I've no idea whether that will all be required or whether even more will be required. As to how long it will be before it is repaid, I could only offer a guess. Besides which, the debt is certain to be restructured within a year or two (bond issue).

I can see why many have sacked it off then, or at least for the lesser games.

Levy in grabbing more money but not spending it shocker. A personal anecdote by the presenter on Talkshite this morning was he was charged £30 to take his baby in with him to watch his team there this season.

He's a grade a money grabbing ****.

The presenter. Although Levy looks like a big baby with glasses.

Every couple of quid helps to pay for the stadium.

I’d happily bet that there is more to this story than the presenter is letting on - like him wanting two seats for him and his baby or his “baby” actually being 7 years old. That’s if it’s not an outright lie. It is Talkshite, after all.

As to Levy’s email to the other big 6 club chairmen, my guess is that each of them would have privately agreed with him but that they collectively bowed to pressure from Scudamore, fans’ groups and the media.

The idea that Levy is some kind of ogre because he’s a hard nosed businessman is bizarre, IMO. I get that other fans find him annoying but he’s positively saintly compared to many of the alternatives. There are far, far worse people in English football’s boardrooms.

Thank you for defending yourself Mr Levy. Always good to get both sides of the story.

Surely the robbing bastards at FCUM deserve to be in that group?
