I have no idea why Spurs want to move, but I would
doubt that 'insufficient transport links' is the reason.

I suspect that the capacity being only 36k would be the reason.

Well, there's an 80,000-seater stadium going begging in 2012 ... but, of
course, the planned reduction in size of the Olympic stadium after the
games means it will then be too small for either Spurs or West Ham. I
wonder why they didn't design it so that, when reduced in size, it was
actually suitable for a premier-league club looking for a new ground?

I suspect they wanted to avoid the football-or-athletics arguments
which delayed the new Wembley for about five years and tripled its
cost...
