well it clearly wasn't the result we were hoping for, or potentially expecting.
hopefully my naive optimism can throw some positive light on the whole occasion for us.
Without sounding too self indulgent, some of you might now tonight was first ever trip the White Hart Lane. I am an Australian who has madly supported Spurs for quite some time now. After following our boys to our last outing up in Wales, recording a great Win, and experience Spurs for the very first time, I made may way to Tottenham this evening. My tickets were situated in South Stand Lower, Section 35. The perfect place to stand all night, uninterrupted by stewards (aside from the guys who was occasionally walking up and down the gang-way, listening out for too much 'yidism').
My afternoon started out at the Bricklayers, talking to a couple of locals fans, who were reminiscing about the 60's and the various memorabilia that covers the walls of the Bricklayers. No matter how much I tried to convince 'Keith", he wouldn't accept that AVB did any good to our organisation, and continued to ask the question "...how can we win games, if we don't score goals." A few pints down, we decided to leave the Bricklayers and pursue our dreams in a local jaunt called The Bill Nicholson..
Well well well.... My only piece of advice for ANY Tottenham fan who is heading to White Hart Lane for their debut performance is... MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE BILL NICK!!!
We had such a blast there, and were very well looked after by punters and bartenders alike. (The double sausage in bread for 4quid wasn't too bad either). I even managed to purchase a 'Wenger is a Paedo' badge.
The atmosphere at the ground was electric, and we stood all night, singing, clapping, calling Dzeko a 'box head cunt'. It was fantastic. Some people left early, some people slagged off our players, but most of Section 35 sung together, stayed till the end together and rode the waves together..
I fly home on Friday, back to Australia. so many memories, and I hope all of you Londoners who are feeling shit about the result can take some solace in the fact that a tourist who bought their tickets from the Spurs site, after purchasing an overseas membership, absconding from stubhub, has a fucking fantastic time!!!
