I recall that when Spurs put in a bid for the stadium their plan was to demolish the thing and start again.
The London Games were perceived as a major success, but as time passes, views are becoming more critical over their legacy. And the stupidest decision of the lot was to purposely build a huge stadium that could not be converted to a major football venue.
WTF were they thinking building an athletics stadium holding 80k that at best would see around 20k spectators once a year watching a Golden 4 athletic meet?

Yeah, I didn’t mean that it’s not a great stadium for athletics, just that it’s been criticized for football since they moved there. Moving from Upton Park was an enormous mistake, but it made the owners a lot more money. Honestly, if they do go down, it’s disastrous.
