Much like the Hicks stadium for us that thing was capable of financially crippling even a deep pocketed billionaire.

More so, I'd say.

That stadium project is ridiculously complex, ambitious and expensive.

I think the viability of it has been in doubt for some time. It's in a conservation area, two local authorities are impacted, the price of acquiring property there is monstrous, and that's before you get into the engineering complexity of building over so many railway lines. Then there is the eye-watering cost of the build itself.

And they wouldn't fill it

Defo a bit of both though - Spurs WHL has exceeded budget several times over now

That's a matter of opinion obviously.

The design grew on me. Completely unique, sympathetic to its environment and local history, and pretty groundbreaking for a sorts arena in terms of the materials used and suchlike.

But, yes - certainly marmite.

Seeing Chavs in the championship soon will be one of life's little pleasures.

****ing off to Israel now?

With an Israeli citizenship he can enter the country more freely?

[Hollowman]

He can visit without a visa. Not sure what it means for his commercial activities.
