White Hart Lane - Possible Relocation

Possible Relocation

There have been a number of plans in the past for relocation. The first, revealed in 2001, was to relocate to the 43,000-seat stadium at Pickett's Lock which was being planned for the 2005 World Athletics Championships as the centerpiece of London's bid to host the games; however the games were awarded to Helsinki, Finland, instead. However, the plans for Tottenham to move to this site were looking unlikely by October 2001 as expansion now appeared to be the club's preferred option. Over the next few years various other schemes were mooted, including a relocation to the rebuilt Wembley Stadium (which opened in 2007) and even to the stadium being built for the 2012 Olympic Games, which Tottenham had planned to rebuild it as a football-only stadium. In 2003, there was also talk that Tottenham would ground-share with Arsenal at their new Emirates Stadium from its completion in 2006.
