100% said that having two knobheads behind the goal waving massive flags whenever you score looks pathetic

I don’t get out of bed for anything less than a butterscotch angel delight & a pot noodle
Let’s get your people talking to my people
I’ve managed to do it once, the security guy outside the lift said it was a lift for all. Tried it a couple of times since then and the security have said its for mobility impaired people only.
So it’s 8 or 9 flights of stairs.
Thanks. I'll have to do the fake limp again then, or bring my Mum's wheelchair.
In theory you need a lift pass, so limping won’t work. And yes there is such a thing as a lift pass*.
* or more accurately a Lift Access Pass.

Stairs it is then. I'll start off on Saturday evening.
At White Hart Lane today, all builders bar 2 or 3 have gone and they were there to move out of the South-East corner which now looks almost clear, no site offices remain. New bins all the way around the ground, no doubt Chris Colwin will send out a video explaining nowhere on earth has as much bin capacity as us. I went into the M Cafe, real let down as it's only the front section which seats about 10 people!!
White Hart Lane Station is progressing well but still a couple of months off I guess. Ticket barriers were going in but looked like a tone of work internally still to be done, but outside looking not far off.

I might try to get to the shop next week, as I have a ton of stuff to buy (2 babies and me!), and don't fancy doing the shop on a match day or lugging it around.
Doing the tour in a few weeks, will be interesting to see the areas that are not accessible to us in the cheap (!) seats.

Just seen this on the site, which explains why I got in once and not since ...
Use of lifts
Stewards may restrict access to lifts to ensure those on our Disability Access Scheme and those with mobility issues have priority. Access to lifts for all other fans will be at the discretion of our stewards should there be available capacity. We thank you for your co-operation with our stewards on this matter.
So it's back to the fake limp then

We are pleased to confirm that
@haringeycouncil
has approved our application to increase the official capacity of our new stadium to 62,214.
Small steps and all that
What was it before? 61062 or something?
62062 I think. Not exactly a big increase, wasn't it something to do with them realising they could squeeze in a few more seats around the screens?
I had my first visit to the new stadium yesterday.
It took three attempts to get in. The first try was due to us being fooled by the 1-10 sign with an arrow pointing NW not meaning 'go up the stairs', but actually meaning 'walk up the road to the other end of the stadium'! Secondly we made the mistake of finding 1-10 and then unknowingly getting in a short queue at 6 when we should have been going in at 7.
The bag check was a bit of a farce. I'd gotten one of the special stadium clear draw string bags, but had stuff inside a normal plastic carrier bag inside it. Nobody asked anything about the content, just stuck a yellow tag round it.
Having finally got in we went for the beer. I had a Neck Oil, but my mate wanted Amstel and that had run out an hour before kick-off! I was stunned by the toilets, especially compared with how bad they were at WHL. I thought the concourse seemed quite cramped, but when we left a few minutes early I realised it wasn't and had just been due to the huge numbers of people.
The stadium itself was impressive. I think it will take a few visits before I'm used to the new seat colour though. As others have said on here, it is clearly much bigger than WHL but has a similar feel. As we were sat in Paxton, getting that view of the Park Lane wall with the gold cockerel high above it is a touch of design genius. Well done Mr Levy.
Maybe it was because it was a friendly, but I was surprised by how fidgety the crowd were. The bloke next to me went to get a pie after about 30 minutes, missed the Inter goal, and didn't realise it was 1-1 until well into the second half. I was also surprised by how many non-Spurs or Inter shirts there were.
We didn't get to look around at all. I think a tour next spring will definitely be happening.
