Been going there pre-match for years, usually in the back garden, as one of our group likes his ciggies!
I've always liked the atmosphere in there. I think the millions of workmen have kept it going during our sojourn to Wembley. It's always pretty packed on match days, I would hate it if the Coach went under, one of the few pubs with a proper history and character.
I hope that's true.I will sing and dance if the BQ re-opens, loved that place
Yeah, sounds like the old chequers/Bootlaces
Bring back the Milford and the British Queen...Those were the days
Not sure I agree with this.. There is going to be an extra 25,000 people making their way to the stadium every other week.
Not all but a large number will want a drink before going to the ground. I can see their trade improving.
My usual haunt before a match.
We want the corner pin back.
Sadly mate the club lost a whole generation of supporters in the 90,s and 00,s. It really makes me sad when I see people wearing arse shirts in N17 but the club can also take some blame. There are no cheap tickets for locals for big games. So most people are completely priced out and just supports who has been more successful. On a more positive note my mate teaches at a school in Tottenham Hale and he told me about 60% of the kids are yids. He is a Spammer and get rinsed by his students.
I still preferred Tasty Tato though
Looks great. With there being so many local craft breweries, it's nice to see somewhere actually selling the stuff within walking distance of the stadium

I haven't been able to go to the Lane for the last couple of years for various reasons and was wondering which pubs have disappeared in this time. I've heard that the Corner Pin is no more and obviously The Cockerel / Bank went a few years back. I mostly used to drink in Bootlaces, British Queen, sometimes the Olive Branch and obviously the Bell and Hare so am mostly wondering about these (obviously I know the B & H is still going just wondered about the others). Have there been many others that have gone under in the last few years?

I reckon you are thinking of the Coach and Horses. Its diagonally opposite what was Bootlaces. They have tons of memoribilia in there. The owner is a season ticket holder and he used to own Bootlaces till he sold it to the deadbeats who managed to turn it into a fucking chicken shop.
The Coach has a massive beer garden too. Decent boozer for match days.
Chequers Plays Poppadom
Coulda made a cracking name for an Indian takeaway!
Get that Bootlaces is now a chip shop but does my description match it (pub with bar on the right hand side if looking in)? Thanks

They all have limited capacity with doormen on so they will be the exact same as before

Was always out the back too as I was a smoker last time Spurs played at WHL, no longer though.
The first pub I drank in was the Two Brewers it was a bit different back in the 80's. Like someone's front room..
On the walk up from seven sisters I remember these pubs that have gone
The Bull The Swan The Rose & Crown The Plough Prince Of Wales The Tottenham Liberal & Radical club ( became the strippers gaff)The Red Lion.. Sam's.. Corner Pin The White Hart(RIP).

Biggest waste in N.17 at the moment.I really thought that as it hadn't been turned into flats someone was hanging on to refurb and reopen with the new stadium.That was a barn of a place and very well suited,possibly even for an away pub.
