Yes, east stand of our stadium is being developed, from an old hill for 5 000 to a 2-tier construction for 12 000. Something like your main stand, just newer and without those huge pillars in the line of sight (really- who had done that to your stadium!)

The stand with the two pillars isn't our Main Stand and those pillars have been there since the 1930's when the satnd in its original formate was built. That stand use to have the seats in the upper tier (5100) and two other tiers of Standing supporter middle tier (Known as The Shelf) held 11,000 and the lower tier a further 8,000 so prior to all seater stadiums in England that side use to hold over 24,000. I has now been developed so that it now contains all seats and Private Boxes.
Our Main Stand is the stand opposite that stand the West Stand where season tickets prices start at £950 (3,750 Zl) to £1675 (6,600 Zl).
Our ground which once held over 70,000 now only holds 36,500 and is way too small but we have had lots of problems with the local authorities trying to rebuild. We, as you may well be aware, have not been a top 4 side in England for many years but still sellout every game. We have had numerous plans turn down and we have bought up all the land just North of our current ground to build a new stadium but still we are having problems. This has now been going on for years and the latest is that any new build certainly wouldn't be ready if started at the end of this season till 2012/2013 season at the earliest so they are now looking to take over the New Olympic stadium being built for London 2012 probably for the season 2013/2014 much like Manchester City took over their ground after the Common Wealth Games were held in Mnachester.
We need at least 50,000 as our fanbase in the UK is still one of the largest in Englash football and we also have many 1000's that come every year from oversea. Last season we beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup at Wembley and our allocation of 30,000 for the game could have been taken up by oversea supporters alone. Not sure if you watch the game but out of a crowd of 87,000 there were at least 55,000 Spurs, which was obvious as after the game when the cup was being paraded most the ground was still there celebrating.
There is alot of talk currently in the English press that we are about to be taken over by a multi billionaire from the Far East (Singapore) and that agent Pini Zahavi flew to Asia last week. So looks like we might become the Next Chelsea/Man City, although I am not 100% comfortable with that.
'The discussions are at a preliminary stage,' a source in Singapore told The Observer last night, 'but the investor is a billionaire and views Spurs as perfect because of the profile of the club and the fact that they are in London. This last point is very important.'
The fee for the sale is in the region of £400m
Anyway must go as I need to get to the airport soon, looking forward to my trip there and I have been to Krakow before and hope the weather is fine there. What is it like currently, warm still, wet?
