THST THFC Board to Board Meeting - 24 May 2016
5/27/2016

Final season farewell plans
  • RM asked about the plans to mark the last season at WHL. DC was open to all suggestions, especially from fans and it was thought THST may be used as the conduit to collate these ideas. The Club was in the process of establishing a regular group to handle this
  • RM asked whether the last match at WHL would be a league match or a specially arranged game. DC explained the build programme made It difficult to host another match at the end of the Premier League calendar, so it would likely be a league game
  • KL asked whether the Club would ask for dispensation to play a block of Premier League matches away from WHL at the start and end of the forthcoming campaign. DL confirmed this had been requested – not a block, but two matches at the end of the campaign – and this was being considered by the PL
  • It was confirmed that fans would be able to purchase their seats once the final game had been played at White Hart Lane

Ah! Good hunting that man. There you go @Liam we just need to sit tight and wait OR take a spanner and steal one/five!

Sounds good to me! I assume season ticket holders will get first dibs on their seats then the rest got sold in whichever way the clubs see's most profitable. Would be great to get one though.

You'll get to see it in the 'flesh' tomorrow night.......quite something I can tell you, really like how it's all happening around the existing ground now, connects the 'old' with the 'new' ambition and future growth of the club.

yeah cant wait!!
Looking on west ham forums the one thing they heap huge praise on spurs is the stadium,understandably they hate the OS and gold,sullivan,brady.TBH if it had panned out we and moved there as it is,I may never have gone to spurs again.Any club that has problems between the board and fans,i mean serious majority issues has struggled as a team on the pitch.I can relate to their displeasure as one who vowed to never go again under lord fucking sugar,though even he didnt introduce snatch squads to drag fans out,unbelievable if you read up on that.
Here`s hoping we have got it right!!

At this rate, why would we even need to move into Wembley next year? Certainly not for a full season. Looks like we'll have it finished by the New Year . . . Alright, maybe not THAT fast, but still. Can't imagine it's going to take an ENTIRE other season to complete, especially with no match-days to get in the way.

You can only have one home stadium in a season so will have to complete the season at what ever stadium we begin next season in.

You're looking at the big picture, the full fit out will take a long time, plus there's still about a third of the stadium to build together with the demolition of the old one.

I'll be happy if we're in on time.

It has moved fast,the final height of the stadium will be up to the cockerel emblems on the cranes,still a lot to do,and until the final section is up where we demolish the paxton end completly none of the roof can go up,the whole bowl has to be up for it structurally to support itself.
But bloody hell this time last year it was just an acre of flat mud,incredible.

Any idea how many extra season tickets will come from this? I am on the waiting list and hope to secure one soon.

We decided to walk through the new stadium yesterday rather than our normal route to the Park Lane and WOW! it is so impressive close up but as @skiathospurs says, still a long way to our emblems on the cranes.
Any idea what transport infrastructure is going to be set up for almost twice as many fans going to the Lane, @skiathospurs. As you know, I go by road and park up near the north circ but parking is a nightmare now unless you get there at least a couple of hours before kick off. Surely they must have plans for better rail links etc.

The new stadium will be actively promoted as a ‘Public Transport Destination’ – just like Wembley Stadium, with service improvements, new shuttle bus links, better pedestrian connections, real-time travel information points, clear signage and regular transport and station updates on the website, in programmes, and directly to fans in the stadium.

The upgraded Victoria Line has already delivered brand new, faster and higher capacity trains – ending the disruption that supporters have faced for many years and delivering major service improvements. The Victoria Line will become the highest frequency railway in the UK with trains running every 100 seconds, each way, before a midweek fixture and all trains now running the full length of the line to Walthamstow by way of Tottenham Hale.

Improvements at Seven Sisters station interchange are now well underway – with extra stairs from the southbound National Rail Overground station towards the Victoria Line Underground station completed and further work will be undertaken as part of the London Overground devolution to improve the quality of the station facilities for all passengers.

The White Hart Lane station train service is under the control of London Overground in 2015 – with brand new and higher capacity trains, similar to the new Metropolitan Line trains, and station improvements planned. This important project is now being developed by TfL, Network Rail and Haringey Council.

Network Rail are scheduled to introduce ‘three tracking’ for the section through

Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park – which will entail the reconstruction of Northumberland Park station, and significant frequency improvements for services to Stratford. Construction works are planned to be completed before the new stadium is finished.

Better use will be made of White Hart Lane and Northumberland Park stations – and the Club will work with the two new Train Operating Companies to further improve match-day services and make better use of the 8-car service capacity with new queue management systems in place assisted by club stewards.

White Hart Lane station will be redeveloped – with the creation of a newly-located station entrance, a new ticket hall and wider platform access. This redevelopment forms part of the regeneration plans for the west side of the High Road being led by Haringey Council. A planning application is expected later in 2016 with a target opening date in line with the new stadium.

Northumberland Park station will also be reconstructed – to allow the introduction of a third track. The level crossing will be removed and will be replaced by a new and much higher quality footbridge. On a non-matchday there will be 4 trains an hour each way to and from Stratford.

The removal of the Tottenham Hale Gyratory is now complete – with the final stage having involved the construction of a major bus station at the Tottenham Hale transport interchange. The gyratory removal provides a simple 2-way traffic connection between the station and the stadium area.

Upgrades to the Tottenham Hale station now have full planning and funding approval – and construction has commenced.

The Club will operate two new shuttle bus services – the first service will run from Alexandra Palace station by way of Wood Green (Piccadilly line). The model for this service is the Allianz Park service, which carries more than 3,000 Saracens supporters before and after games. A second service will provide a high frequency link between the upgraded Tottenham Hale interchange (Victoria Line and 6 minutes from Liverpool Street) and the stadium area.

Hi Mal, I don't know your exact route but I used to have the same issues. I now drive to Cheshunt and take the train, it's much quicker, convenient and comfortable....at least on the way there....to either WHL or Northumberland Park, definitely the latter for the return, and not too expensive, about £7 return I think. It's a definite winner in my book.

Thanks DD, At the moment I drive from Fenstanton which is between Huntingdon and Cambridge (A14) down the M11 and onto north circ. It's not too bad and with a good run, around an hour depending on possible congestion. Last night I was back home by 18.30 and that includes a 20 mins walk back to my car and a bit of stop start on the north circ.. But come the new capacity at WHL, I think the north circ will become a car park at the end of the game. I have looked at Cheshunt using the A10, or even stations further north and it may well be an option come 2018.
I think match days will become much longer for me but compared with some (@Dorset, @boo @skiathospurs @The Cryptkeeper ) mustn't complain but more time for pre match beers.

Thanks @skiathospurs for your post which is very informative and answered many of my questions.

It really is very impressive. Might take a wee scoot up to the Lane tomorrow before heading out to Wembley.
