    New Stadium Article. 61

    Anyways, tonight's article is simply this: I love the new revised stadium design (re: Northumberland Dev Project). Official site article here if you've been asleep all day. To quote the sexy key bits:
    <blockquote>
    • A redesign of the Southern area of the site resulting in a stunning new design for the hotel and residential buildings.

    An enlarged public square on a raised podium, which extends from the
    High Road to Worcester Avenue and connects directly into the Stadium,
    new Tottenham Hotspur Foundation offices set alongside facilitating
    even greater community use and activity.
    • A high quality
    environment along the High Road with a new courtyard setting for
    retained historic buildings to the South and trees, gates and
    structures in front of the Stadium linking to the existing terrace of
    historic buildings to the North.
    • Grade II listed Warmington House,
    along with 3 other locally listed buildings with historic links to the
    Club, to be retained - the Red House, Dispensary and the former White
    Hart Pub - all to be refurbished and brought back to life.
    • Fantastic new Club Megastore with integrated Club museum, ticket office and café.

    Further improvements to the development including a Skybar and roof
    garden on the adjacent supermarket, linked directly to the Stadium.

    The re-use of the famous Bill Nicholson Gates, ‘Cockerel on the Ball'
    Clock and ‘Golden Cockerel' statue within the public realm.
    </blockquote>
    Lovely. So basically we are looking to retain some history along
    with improving on the original design (hotel and residential stuff).
    I'm glad we were asked to go away and come back again because if you
    compare the original design (the one that had no listed buildings left
    after the proposed rebuild) to the new one, you'll be hard pressed to
    disagree that it's not been improved on, tenfold.
    Original design:
    New Stadium Article. Original
    Look at the bottom right-hand corner, no listed buildings, hotel etc across the face of the stand.


    New revised proposed design:
    New Stadium Article. Updated2
    Yeah sure, the listed building sort of look out of place/quaint,
    but for me its the change to the hotel bit that is a massive
    improvement. In fact, the original looks completely cluttered in
    comparison.



    For actual photo close ups of the listed buildings, click on the below links:

    Regulars to the Lane will get a better perspective of things seeing
    the above linked photos. What does make me smile is that these
    buildings have sat there, some of which are derelict, and nothing has
    been done - by anyone - to restore them to former or in-fact
    newly-improved glory. We want to knock them down, and machine says no.
    Doubtful they would say no to the new plans. Why would they when we are
    giving them purpose once more?

    I could handcuff myself to the gates if things got tasty with the board of directors


    Nothing to hate, everything to love about this. Not too shabby of a
    new Spurs Shop either. For more information on the building which
    formally had the Cockerel at the front of it (Red House) click here.
    There's a bit of nostalgia attached (or not so much of since 2008) and
    retaining the Bill Nick gates along with that removed golden Cockerel,
    we get a nice nod to the past. Obviously, security must be tight here,
    on the look out for any cheeky West Ham fans that might drive up the
    high road at 4am to pay us a visit and leave their calling card for us to choke over whilst we tuck into our morning bowl of corn flakes.
    Again, can't believe I didn't hate on the original design more when I first saw it (the hotel part of it).
    Kudos to the Bill Nick inclusion too. Mr Tottenham Hotspur deserves
    this elegant touch for a new era, linking us right back to when this
    club became a fully fledged giant (before falling into deep sleep again
    for a while).
    Shame there are no multi-millionaire pound companies called Bill
    Nicholson out there looking to buy the rights to the naming of the new
    stadium. Because I can't think of a better name for it.
    Perhaps we could request the sponsor to be part of a pre-determined template, i.e. The Bill Nicholson 'enter sponsor here' Stadium?
    Petition anyone?

    When they do get round to building it , according to our previous build plans ,,,we will play our first season in it with the Park Lane End not errected ...... I cant see this changing if we get the go-ahead with these new plans so our first season in the new stadium will actualy be in an incomplete stadium ...

    Good find guys. The pitch is a concern to me as at present we have one of the best playing surfaces around and I hope they get it right straight away. Also are there any plans for new transport links ? Tis a thing of rare beauty tho' . . . . . . . .
