    Stadium Season Ticket Renewals

    Really pissed off with this news, being 63 the concession rate is being snatched away after 50 years of watching the club. Read some on here about millionaire pensioners, what world are these people living in. If all these pensioners are millionaires won’t all these 22 year olds inherit a...

    Player Glenn Hoddle

    My favourite Spurs player by far, he was a joy to watch and I would say the most skilful Englishman ever to play the game. He always seemed to have time on the ball, in truth the oppo knew he could make them look like clowns with one dip of the shoulder or one of his trademark turns. His vision...

    I'd get a seat in the cheapest section then move to a better seat once the game started. I'm only a poor little Yiddo 😜

    Forgive me I didn't mean you at all, I was getting carried away with my post I meant that in general terms.

    Because you don't believe defending yourself is instinctive it doesn't make you right. People are wired differently and that's a fact. During the terrorist attack at London Bridge CCTV caught many acts of people instinctively fighting back, that Millwall fan did despite having multiple stab...

    I agree 100% in my experience lots of people melt when you stand up to them.

    News And rightly so.

    Women's football is totally subsidised by the men's game and is pushed far beyond what the product deserves. The standard in non league football is far greater, the non league clubs have to stand on their own feet and balance the books accordingly and yet they get hardly any TV coverage. We also...

    History tottenham versus Woolwich 1991 wembley

    I think it's one of the reasons why I meant so much, we lived through that relegation and came back stronger. I was 30 in 91 and the FA cup final was still then the biggest game in football. But beating an extremely strong arse team on the way was nothing short of beautiful, even CHAS & Dave...

    History tottenham versus Woolwich 1991 wembley

    My local at that time was the Harmood Tavern Chalk Farm, a staunch Tottenham pub, even the landlords dog trotted around with a Spurs scarf round it's neck. The pub was next door to Chalk Farm bus garage (both no longer there) one of the Spurs lads was a bus driver and arranged for us to hire two...

    History Regression back to your Spurs childhood

    I remember the silk scarfs tied round the wrist! Never really saw anyone wearing shirts in the 70's. I also recal the tartan scarfs even tartan turn ups on jeans, funny thing was as soon as the bay city rollers came out the tartan disappeared overnight!!!

    The Redemption taproom is well worth a try, quality Ales on offer on match days. They also do food as well.

    History Tottenham Boys - We Are Here

    I don't think West Ham have ever played a game in West Ham. Chelsea the same as its in Fulham . Woolwich never played a game in Woolwich 😀 The list goes on, we are Tottenham for a reason, from Tottenham and play in Tottenham got to be proud of that!

    History Tottenham Boys - We Are Here

    Well when I was on the knowledge this was a major topic to discuss. London has always been growing, the postcodes were originally parishes often divided by rivers and streams. Many of these are hidden underground. Traditionally the boundary of the East end is the river Lea, anything east of the...

    History Tottenham Boys - We Are Here

    Sutton is in the London Borough of Sutton, the boundary changes took place in 1964/65 I believe. It's much easier to just accept the London boroughs otherwise it's a big can of worms getting opened.

    Any place in a London borough is London, it's as simple as that!

    History Tottenham Boys - We Are Here

    I've watched a fair bit of non league over at Dartford, there's lots of people that used to go to top flight football now getting their footy fix in non league. I've watched Dartford play at the 'Dripping Pan' and it's one of the nicest grounds I've been too! What a setting! And a pint of...
