After considering different sites White City was chosen as the terminus. The line would have gone through Clapham Junction. The plan was cancelled in 1975.
In the map you can see White City Stadium was still standing.
@GaryBannister86 'Although I am well aware as an alleged grown-up that the model of flogging players as soon as they come into some sort of form is a wise one, it isn't half a depressing thought that as soon as say Burrell becomes a top Championship striker we would be gleefully cashing in.'
Isn't it actually worse than that because so many of our players are injured that we can't cash in, even if we wanted to. Our best bet is Eze moving to Real Madrid and then on to the Saudi League.
If anyone is staying at one of the hotels (Ibis/Premier Inn/Novotel) on Greenwich High Street, or coming through Greenwich Station on the day, good fish and chips are to be had at The Golden Chippy, one of the venerable chippies of London. It's about 5 minutes walk from Greenwich Station, in the opposite direction from the town centre: https://www.thegoldenchippy.co
There are some pretty poor restaurants in Greenwich town centre because it's so on the beaten tourist track that it doesn't matter to the owners if they serve good food or not - they will always get new business.
Cutty Sark station is closed because the escalators kept breaking down and are being replaced.
@ManinBlack 'If we had done our research we would know Wrexham score quite often in stoppage time. How is it we can muster the dark arts of the game for 100 minutes at Stoke but can't do it for 4 minutes yesterday to see the game out?'
In the oppo profile the oppo fan said that Wrexham had 'the most points dropped from winning positions in the league' (20 points) https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/
If I may quote myself from the West Brom preview on December 5th:
'I think it's dawning on everybody after the early season optimism that we are in exactly the same place we usually are (and behind where we were when we got rid of Warburton). One thing I am sceptical about is people saying in grave tones that Stéphan was brought in to deal with three-game weeks. What does that mean exactly? Does it mean that if we say in grave tones that he was brought in to win the Champions League then we will win the Champions League?'
We saw today what we look like without Burrell...numerous not very good long balls forward which Burrell might have got on to ended up at the feet of the opposition.
I don't know if people remember the interview LFW did with Paul Hall a couple of years ago? Hall seemed convinced that Cat 1 academies weren't the be-all and end-all, but maybe he was making the best of the situation we were in?
Since we are on the subject, if you have an hour, there was an interesting interview a few days ago with Maureen Tkacik about her recent article The Narco-Terrorist Elite.
'But Rubio’s approval ratings are the highest in the Republican Party, even as he is the architect of what is arguably Trump’s single most cynical policy: the scheme to appoint drug cartel bosses and their cronies atop the governments of every Latin American country, in the name of fighting drug cartels.' https://prospect.org/2025/12/2
