This question is probably more suited for the "Football" thread in the General Discussion section, but as somebody has made reference to Tottenham Hotspur playing at Wembley, here goes.
When the decision to rebuild White Hart Lane was made, did the FA and THFC ever think about groundsharing Ashburton Grove (even though it is the home of their fierce rivals Arsenal)? Thinking about it, both Milan teams share the San Siro, and if Spurs temporarily played their "home" matches at Ashburton Grove, the fans would not have to go from one side of London to another, thus not putting too much pressure on the public transport system.
Another thought - I remember plans for Spurs to temporarily play or even relocate their "home" matches at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. Although it would simply be southbound to Stratford from Tottenham Hale, I believe that plan would have had grave effects on Leyton Orient FC, as their ground Brisbane Road is 700 yards away.
