Okay so for a few games now we've had 3 stewards and a policeman standing at the top of the stairs at block 19, in the paxton (family stand). This is obviously a big change to just having one steward there.
We've been sat in our seats there for over 10 years now so have sort of become pals with the guy who is in charge of blocks 18-21. We asked him why the sudden change and he said that because of TSOBL threatening to take action etc the stewards now have to document every time the word 'yid' is used, why it was used and for how long on a sheet titled 'Racial Incidents at White Hart Lane'. So if Defoe scores and we sing "Jermain Defoe, he is a yiddo" it has to be documented.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that and sorry if it's already been posted.
Oh, they also want to change the name of the stadium because they feel WHITE Hart Lane is racial, not sure what to, but they want it changed! :O
