We own all of the surronding lane where the new stadium is to be built, during these financial times the cost of the raw materials is lower, keeping building costs lower, we're not banking on selling some s**t shoe box apartments on our old ground to finance the deal. We have a long season ticket waiting list. and a very healthy fan base, a true fan base not m,ade up of little children who saw you win a few games and latched on or some dumb eurotrash who watched you on canal+ Avenell is absolute quality – shows himslef up for what he is – a know nothing gooner mug.

All arsenal fans i know of have never been to a game, they have seen your south london shit on sky sports news watching as a kid, and decided to support them because they won that particular match. You may well have a larger fan base, but your fans have either A. never seen arsenal play live B. are frogs who have come into england and tug over wenger or C. are foreigners who have seen arsenal highlights on EgyptianSportsChannel and decided to support you. You have very few real fans, and never will. 'Fans' at best, using the word supporters would be a joke.

And our fanbase is very secure, thank you, having been developed in adversity a s well as triumphrather than being stuffed full of middle class johnny-come-latelies who neither know nor care much about football, and eat in the sweet bijou cafes of Highbury and Upper Street. Our catering will no doubt be the same as the Arse and the other sub-MacDonalds around football stadia, except we won't have prawn sandwiches especially calibrated to ensure silence save for polite hand-clapping as you tippy-toe around deciding who dares to take a shot.Instead I hope there will be bagels and action, and our supporters will be close enough to the pitch to be in contact with it. Another good piece of news is that having supporters closer to the action will put Arse Wanker even closer when he visits - and so able to see some of the fouls he misses at the Emirates as a result of being too far away from reality ...

Tottenham moved into White Hart Lane ground in 1899 and bought the freehold to the land in 1905. A new main stand was opened on September 11th 1909 for the visit of Manchester United. Arsenal, on the other hand, only moved into North London in 1913. Avenell, thats a ridiculous statement at best.

I'd question this idea you should sell out a Stadium for every match , this only started when stadia were converted to all seater. If you think about it, if you fill the ground for the minor games the stadium is too small as you will get a much bigger gate for an attractive fixture. The costs of running a stadium are virtually the same regardless of the size of the ground so it makes sense to build a decent sized stadium. In fact the capacity will not be that much greater than the old ground before all seating came in. The business model for rebuilding White Hart Lane is rather different to the Emirates. Arsenal are reliant on property sales to repay debt while Spurs are dealing with much lower land values (they already own most of the land). Which works better depends on the economy over the next few years. At the moment Spurs sell out virtually every game – the need for a bigger stadium is obvious.

But with all things Spud, they will be telling us how their stadium is a vast improvement upon THOF, until the team are playing shite and we return to the 'what is the point of paying for this shitty stadium when the team is pants. I am not paying £4 for a cream cheese bagel' etc etc Jon Jon

Of course they would get it for us, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool or maybe Nantes in the UEFA Cup but not for any other game.
