White Star Line

Founded in 1845, the line operated a fleet of clipper ships that sailed between Britain and Australia. Today it is most famous for their innovative vessel Oceanic of 1870, and the Olympic class ocean liners, including the ill-fated RMS Titanic.
In 1934, White Star merged with its chief rival, Cunard Line, which operated as Cunard-White Star Line until 1950. Cunard Line then operated as a separate entity until 2005 and is now part of Carnival Corporation & plc. As a lasting reminder of the White Star Line, modern Cunard ships use the term White Star Service to describe the level of customer care expected of the company.

White Hart Lane is an all-seater football stadium located in Tottenham, London, UK. Tottenham Hotspur moved to White Hart Lane in 1899, renovating it from a disused nursery owned by the brewery chain Charringtons, with the help of local groundsman, John Over, into a substandard football pitch. After numerous renovations, the stadium has a capacity of 36,284. The White Hart Lane record attendance remains an FA Cup tie on 5 March 1938 against Sunderland with the attendance being recorded at 75,038. Plans are afoot for Tottenham to move to a new stadium with an estimated capacity of 61,000, with the new stadium being built on the current site instead of moving from the borough of Haringey. The new stadium has been designed by Populous, who also designed derby rival Arsenal's home, Emirates Stadium.

A white hart or star line lane article which is open to all, but what I wanted to ask related to the White Star Line merger with Cunard and other enquiries.

Wasn't 1912 the year Arsenal Cheated their way into the top flight, or did the bung take place the following season?

They've had 3 stadiums in their history, I doubt Tottenham will ever match that. Tottenham are 4 years older and while that is hard for Arsenal to catch, it's not impossible.

While puffing on my medical weed, this discussion prompts me to ask the question: "What is the stars?"

The White Star Line was not blamed for Titanic’s sinking because the Board of Trade feared that
this would result in lawsuits that would hurt the line’s profits, damage the reputation of British
shipping, and cause thousands of customers to switch to German or French liners.
