1. New stadium/ ground share
Understandably, the issue of the new stadium and potential ground share remain a major focus for THST this month. We are assured the Club continue to explore ground share options and that once viable alternatives are identified, there will be full supporter consultation into the decision making process. Transparency and fan input are essential on this matter and we will push for genuine consultation prior to a decision being made on the venue for the confirmed season away from White Hart Lane. We have also asked for a full explanation as to why this eventuality has arisen.
The dates for the Archway Steel CPO High Court appeal have now been confirmed as 15 and 16 January 2015.
2. High Road West Regeneration Proposals
THST has been in contact with Haringey Council regarding the High Road West Regeneration Proposals masterplan, specifically around concerns over the design of the new White Hart Lane station. We are currently awaiting dates for a meeting with the Council, Transport for London and the station architects, Landholt and Brown.
3. Community Group meetings
THST is in contact with the Our Tottenham Group and a meeting has been scheduled for 12 November to discuss the impact of the new stadium build and associated regeneration of Haringey on the local community.
4. THST Members’ Meeting – 8 October
THST held its first Members’ Meeting of the season on Wednesday 8 October in the Centenary Lounge at White Hart Lane stadium. It was a productive evening with some lively debate and we thank the Club’s Supporter Liaison Officer, Jonathan Waite, for attending as a guest speaker.
A summary of the meeting can be read here.
5. Response to Labour Party Proposals
THST issued the following statement in response to the announcement by Shadow Minister for Sport, Clive Efford MP, outlining Labour’s proposals for giving supporters a bigger say in how their football clubs are run.
This can be read in full here.
6. Response to proposed Premier League Overseas matches
THST issued the following statement in response to reports that the Premier League intends to explore the possibility, once again, of playing competitive matches overseas.
This can be read in full here.
7. Haringey Independent THST column
THST has been given a regular column in the Haringey Independent, which is a great vehicle to express our views and explain the work we undertake to the local community and beyond.

Small Shareholders Association
As referenced in our September update, we have been in conversation with a number of the Club’s small shareholders who contacted us to ask for advice on their rights in the current structure. As a result of these conversations, a small shareholders association has been established. This exists as a separate organisation from THST, but it is an initiative we are happy to back.
Any small shareholders are urged to register at www.THFCSSA.com.
The THFC SSA can also be contacted on twitter @THFCSSA.
Fan Identity Questionnaire
THST agreed to assist a third year student at Keele University with promoting a questionnaire around Fan Identity. Having received 140 responses, the survey was closed on 28 October.
THST will receive key themes and a summary of findings once the results have been analysed.
Thank you to those who took the time to participate.
The Drum
The Drum returned to White Hart Lane on Thursday 23 October for the UEL match v Asteras. Situated in Block 35 of the Park Lane lower, within the #1882THFC section, it was generally well received. The next match for the drum is tbc and will be either a UEL or COC match.
THST Board Meeting
The Q4 THST Board Meeting is scheduled for 4 November. The agenda and minutes will be published accordingly.
THST/ THFC Board to Board Meeting
The next meeting with the Executive Board of THFC has been arranged for 20 November at the Training Centre. Members will be invited to input into the agenda for this session in advance of the meeting.
Expert Groups and volunteers
As our workload grows, we would like to hear from members who would be willing and able to give some of their time, even if just a few hours, in helping with our work. We are particularly interested in hearing from any members who have areas of expertise in the areas of legal affairs, planning, architecture and finance, who would be prepared to let us draw on their knowledge.
