White Hart Lane 1899-2017

I'd be wary of this - if someone were to claim their ST lost at this stage of the season they just get issued with paper tickets, they could then sell their genuine ST card to someone who would be none the wiser until they turn up to the gate and it's been deactivated.

Blanchflower, that's a great point, thanks. I don't suppose there is really any way to prove that is not the case either. The search continues!

I liked this. Just a few of the many glorious memories.

It's in reception of Lilywhite House either it will remain there or it will be moved to museum I guess

Anyone remember a cockerel being released onto the pitch and delaying a game? My dad told me the story once

How did they get that into the stadium

Can't recall that happening at the Lane, doesn't mean it didn't though.

There was one released at an FA Cup Semi against Leicester at Villa Park, 1982

I've ever seen this one before, building the east stand

Just put this on and now I am all stiffly don't think I am going to get through the match without shedding some fat tears

Think there was one at Villa Park for the Leicester semi, in '82, (no jokes) and at WHL during one of the cup runs.

Would love to see the stewards reaction discovering a live cockerel on someone during a patdown!

Loving these old photos and videos.But can we all make a promise not to show photos of the old place being demolished,like a certain other club did. Photos of the new place going up.Yes.
Photos of the old place,being knocked down,no..

That's a tough one though because I'm guessing some of it will have to happen simultaneously. Will hate to see it being dismantled but it's a trade off seeing the Phoenix rise from the ashes.

Yeah,in some cases its going to be unavoidable,but going to be hard to watch.
But sod it!..It will all be worth it in the end.A state of the art stadium in our tradition and spiritual home
