New Spurs stadium

[J.spurs]

@J.spurs

Why depressing?

Extra revenue for the club and will provide the local community with something to do and perhaps provide opportunities to people.

Fair enough, its harmless I suppose. But with each passing day it seems a little less about the football.

 

[Havocc]

True, but Tottenham should be bigger than the football. It should be about the community and the people in the area. This, and the university offer so much for an area which is quite a deprived area.

 

[Havocc]

There's proof that the extra revenue won't be invested into the playing squad.

Our wages to revenue ratio is the lowest in the league

if you read the full financials, there Is proof that it is. Why do you think we got the ENIC investment this season, because of the revenue the stadium generates through ALL of the events it puts back on. Once we get rid of all these players we own who are on loan, we will more of an investment

Fair enough, I'll definitely admit that my response to things like this is usually along these lines:

We have had many years to improve our wages to revenue ratio yet have been bottom of the league for about 13 seasons running. That includes paying players wages not at the club we are dead last!

This isn't about putting in 150m for signings. It about having a wage budget that can compete with our peers. If we were pegged to our rivals we'd be able to offer an extra 60m a season in wages. Which means we can go in for better players rather than go unopposed for the likes of Lo Celso and Sanchez.

How are people in the local community going to be able to afford karting at the stadium? It will be prohibitively expensive and it’s not as though the tourists that show up for it are likely to spend big in the local area.

What am I missing?

Like all the other stadium events, amenities and attractions, local schools and communities will be given free/cheap access. Plus the jobs it will create and opportunities.

Tourists will also attend. Quote from the press release:

It adds to the growing range of Visitor Attractions already available at London’s newest sports and entertainment destination, including the popular Dare Skywalk - rated as London’s No.1 outdoor attraction on TripAdvisor - driving visitors to the area 365 days a year and providing an estimated £300m a year boost to the local economy in one of London’s most deprived neighbourhoods.

So it appears as if you are missing quite a bit!

We are 5th in the wage bill table, so not bottom. Have been top 10 for a while

Also, wage bills does not guarantee success or better players. For every Lo Celso and Sanchez, there is Son, Romero and Bentancor.

Please also remember, our wage bill was restricted by having a 35k capacity stadium, now we are bigger, you can see the individual wages of existing and new signings being raise towards that £150-200k a week

Well fair enough then.

I'm talking as a percentage of revenue. We are 20th

What happened to the google naming rights deal mentioned prior Christmas. Another deal which went dead I assume

 

[Havocc]

I assumed it was media bullshit…..

 

[NiceOneCyril]

Tbh I’m fine with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The money for naming rights should go straight into Joe and Dan’s pocket anyway, so might as well have the team name attached to what is a pretty impressive piece of architecture.

 

[Glenjamin]

Anyone done the Sky Walk? Having a go in April here just wondering if it's any use.

Keep hearing its amazing. Not my cup of tea though, I don't do heights.

 

[Hurrikane Harold]

Going to host two rugby finals in 2024. With the prospect of no European money next season, going to need to raise extra income elsewhere.
FFP might be a problem by 2025, if our recruitment strategy continues to land us with expensive flops

 

[Havocc]

Just filling out the survey on atmosphere in stadium
