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

We want the corner pin back.Yeah, sounds like the old chequers/Bootlaces
Bring back the Milford and the British Queen...Those were the days
With the size of the new stadium and the amount of bars inside, I would imagine it's likely a few more pubs in the area may well close.
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.
I take your point however, have the pubs increased their size? Will be a nightmare to get in and get served around the ground I would imagine (wasn't the best as it was, in my experience), people will surely get pissed off with that?

Not if they start selling cheese or craft beer they won't!With the size of the new stadium and the amount of bars inside, I would imagine it's likely a few more pubs in the area may well close.
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.
Been going there pre-match for years, usually in the back garden, as one of our group likes his ciggies!My usual haunt before a match.
They all have limited capacity with doormen on so they will be the exact same as before

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.
Having finally moved to Tottenham can I just say it's remarkable how many fucking Gooner shirts I see about! All day every day, and at least twice the number of Spurs tops around town! I've always lived in North London (grew up in Enfield) but I thought the plague was just limited to around there - seems nowhere's safe!
What's the pub called on White Hart Lane around the corner from the station when you head towards Wood Green? I went past it a couple of months ago and it was well shut, but definitely has potential. My first instinct was to sell everything I own and buy the property, but then I realised I've got nothing to sell ;(
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.The Railway.?
