Fire at building blocking new Spurs stadium

The building blocking the redevelopment of Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane stadium has been devastated by fire.   The club has been trying to buy Archway Sheet Metals for ten years, but has been unable to agree terms.   The delay has held up the club’s plans for a new stadium with greater capacity.

The building blocking the redevelopment of Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane stadium has been devastated by fire.   The club has been trying to buy Archway Sheet Metals for ten years, but has been unable to agree terms.   The delay has held up the club’s plans for a new stadium with greater capacity.

The club has refused to speculate or comment about the fire.   Archway Sheet Metals believes that the fire was the result of arson and has referred to threats it claims to have received from Spurs fans.   The cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious and an investigation is under way, but it is too early to say what the cause was.
