Of particular interest for us here

The message here for Tottenham and other clubs with big ambitions but small venues is unmistakable.

Maybe the KEIOC lot should look at this very carefully?

******* idiots.

A well supported club seeing the benefits of a new ground- sound familiar?

Its all Wyness's fault, he blagged the Arsenal figures.

Fair play to them, to have a vision and pull it of, gives hope to clubs like ourselves.

Over £3 million in income for each home game as well. Impressive stuff. Just think how much they'd earn if they had a hotel or some other shitty ancilliary

Just shows if it not been for years of mismanagent of years ago and a bit of foresight we could have been up there. Johnson is of course who I am talking of.

We need to move whether it is Kirkby or elsewhere the writing is on the wall.
