@SMG......as I hate quoting a whole bloody post if it's quite long


LO can legally object (and will do if necessary) to either WH or Spurs moving into the stadium due to it's proximity to their ground. It would be a scandal if the stadium did not have an athletics track. Given the crap FIFA dished out with the WC bidding malarky, it would make GB no better with its legacy promises. Why has nobody (it would appear) thought of retractable seating so the running track could be covered for football and taken away for an athletics meet.

Old Orient won't get 40,000 fans but part of the WH bid includes selling tickets for next to nothing to the locals so they can fill it.

That seems a better option for a club of Orients size.


And those cheap tickets are to be sold through local schools. I think that seems entirely reasonable as football increasingly vanishes off the radar of all but the wealthiest people.

It's all about self interest to all parties though. I have mixed views about leaving Upton Park but recognise that the club can't grow situated where it is. Match days are chaos, one local tube and miles of traffic congestion, I'm sure it puts people off going, along with the prices of course. (?65 for a ticket to see Liverpool, top price but still.)


At least West Ham are doffing their cap to the legacy but still stand to benefit from the tailor made transport network, oh and Westfield for when the footy's shite.


Tottenhams bid is pure self interest as well, with no real link to the legacy. They want a ready made transport link, something that their existing new stadium plans don't have and proximity to Canary Wharf and the City for lucrative corporate sponsorship.


I have a horrible feeling that the city might swing it Tottenham's way.

Well let's face it Chavski have only had any real success in the last 6 years. Interesting to see that their players actually made an effort last night. Do you think the two new arrivals might have something to do with it?

So El-Hadji Diouf has gone to Glasgow Rangers. Good riddance is all I can say. Anything could happen in the Old Firm derby on Sunday if he plays especially seeing as he once got a ban for spitting at a Celtic supporter. So, what I'm wondering is two things. How long will he be able to keep the saliver in his mouth? And at what point in the match will he be sent off?

Will they risk starting him, or has he been taken on just to wind up the Celtic faithful?

Important win for Arsenal last night, of all their remaining matches they only have two "hard" games, Man Utd and Liverpool and both of them are at home - 3/1 odds to win the league look generous - especially as Utd and Chelsea likely to progress in Champions League and Arsenal unlikely to.

I've told you before and I won't tell you again. No no no no no no no no no no Annasfield. NO NO NO NO NO. Just because you don't want Man Utd to equal your title winning record and Liverpool have no chance this season it's no excuse to want the Gooners to win it.

Unbearable moi Keef? How very fucking dare you! I never said we'd win anything this season but if we do and we're out of everything else it'll be the Champions League and if we win that (unlikely as it may seem to some of you) I think Spurs fans everywhere will certainly have the bragging rights to be unbearable.

Ahem, a win this season would surpass their record...


Personally I like the Spurs and after the years in the wilderness it's nice to see them doing well. COYS (after United of course). Obviously I'd like to see United winning the CL as well but it would be an amazing story if Spurs won it. I'd be happy for them.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.
