I absolutely can't see why any anyone with a spare wouldn't help you, I mean you've been a member for twelve minutes now, you've done your time.
(I appreciate I'm only a bleedin' newbie to this board meself but I'm not joining a board and asking for cup final tickets within minutes of joining).
Hang on a minute I think your original post was just a ruse by you and

to make sure I don’t go to the Atlantic!!Yeah I mean things have really changed since we were at that game 5 years ago, you can’t get in the pub any more and they could do with spending some cash to make the back room operational for games too, it’s just going to be a very congested and stressful environment for the game, would be too much
Good man.
Yeah you can have the ticket I've just got. No point going anyway

I don't normally use forums and like many spurs fans am trying alternative methods to get a ticket for the final.

Your'e ok Mrs P. It's me and my pocket Johnny is referring to. We've been seeing each other for quite a while now.
So now thinking that if people don't take up our full application, then I might get a chance to get a ticket, as I'm in the next tranche of loyalty points. So my hopes are up again and I want to go.

We're all close to each other.
We should really get together at some point...
I feel terrible for my lad. He is away with his mum on holiday over half term and they fly back from Malaga on the Saturday night. To say he is pissed off is an understatement............
Shit, would love to be able to both visit our new stadium and watch the final with Spurs-fans in one go. But won't be able to make it, most likely watch it in some pub in Gothenburg and hope there's a few Spurs around.
god, i can imagine you would be a dull fucker to watch a game with.
player shoots wide "levy out". player misplaces pass "levy out" go goal down "Joe Lewis owns a yacht"
I would rather listen to the long drawn out death rattle of a man suffering from terminal flatulence

I tell you what after the final in the summer we should all meet up in Chicago for lunch or something over a weekend how’s that? Something nice and calm and we can sit back and reflect, god I am getting old
ochfacepalm:Well, I will be at the Atlantic. Where the hell else would I be?
I'm not quite a regular there--I live out in the country 60 miles away so it takes an hour on a morning WITHOUT traffic. But I get there about 10-12 times a year, I'd guess. In fact, I took days off work to make it to both legs of the semi, and also was there for Bournemouth in between. I always get there early to make a bit of a day of it--the neighborhood is fantastic so we have a kind of postmatch ritual of checking out the book shop, record store etc before grabbing lunch.
Honestly don't see how you can beat it--yeah, it can be a bit cramped but I think you all are overstating it. To be fair, the only other Spurs bar I've watched a match at was NYC and Flannery's was just as rammed as the Atlantic is for a big match. There are still plenty of matches that don't draw huge crowds--but of course if you're talking 11:30am and/or a big derby it will fill up. There were probably less than 15 of us this past weekend. And even the days that it is crowded, what do you want? Everyone to have a seat? A bigger bar that we have to share with other fans? What makes the place amazing is that it's all Spurs. Any time Flav talks about how great it is for the TFC socials that it's all Spurs fans and they don't need to deal with other team's fans I kind of laugh because that's effectively what we have at the Atlantic for every match. The first time I ever went, I realized that while I was never going to make it back to the Lane before it went, this would be as close as I could get to feeling that energy and passion again. The celebrations on Wednesday were every bit as crazy as I remember of the 3-1 over Inter at the Lane--on both occasions I found myself hugging random strangers, of course. While I obviously have had great memories of watching Spurs on my own at home, being in that packed bar on Wednesday elevated it to a religious experience.
TLDR; the Atlantic is great and it's amazing that the club is effectively renting out the bar on the 1st and I'll show up at dawn if I have to.

It's time the forum knew the truth.

If I can get the Friday and Monday off then we will drive to Madrid. If not then Tottenham.
Can someone translate this?
