I think I have sat/stood in every part of the ground, apart from the executive boxes (although I did see one NLD from the corner of the Park Lane where the press box is, after having lunch in the hospitality lounge). Suppose best time for me was standing at the front of the Shelf, definitely the best view - near halfway line so no distortion of where the ball is, which you get when watching from behind the goals; up high so you can see the flow of the play, but not so far away that the players looked like ants. I did like the enclosure though, sure that you paid an extra 2 bob (10p ) for that. I remember the peanut man. I remember that awful day when we witnessed the fences going up around the ground and rejoicing when they took them down. Games too many to mention - some good, some bad and some plain ugly. But considering I have been going to the Lane for 47 years, I still get a thrill going through the turnstiles ..... can't say the thrill is still there at the end of the game! But all said and done, you just can't beat being there in person, and I am going to miss the old place.
I'd heard they'd organised Chas & Dave....but the Beatles would be a real coup, I agree.
Fully expect the old lady to rock the fuck out tonight
You didn't let me down you darling
What a waste of money.... Cant we instead spend it on gettng Gillespie Road put back on the map.
If only Crowd funding could be relied upon, I am sure there are enough fans globally who could raise enough money to buy the naming rights to the new stadium and keep it as White Hart Lane
200k of us pay £25 a season each and we don't have to hear "good afternoon and welcome to X Y z arena".
A pipe dream, but what's £25 these days ?
Oh well, keep dreaming. It will soon be Christmas !

Looks more like Benny Hill.
The old place can still really rock. The ground was electric today
Got tickets for Everton......flying in and will visit my sister and mum (they moved down south to Kingsbridge from London the other year)
Booked with Steve Perryman sport travel, hotel in Earls Court and match tickets. Not cheap, but last ever visit to WHL´....cant put a price on that.
Im gonna walk around that old building, and reminisce over the years gone by, junk food on the high street, buying badges and programmes as a kid, all the mates you went with as teens.......
But as has been said, how wonderfull that all those memories can live on at the new gaff

with respect... FUCK THE NEUTRAL
...they don't support my team... I only want what's best for Tottenham. The 'neutral' wasn't punching the TV yesterday when ArseAnal scored a cunt'o'clock penalty to render our point on Saturday virtually redundant.
The 'Neutral' was probably calmly opening another can of beer, whilst Face-Twatting his friends to tell them all he was watching the telly!
BTW... the fuck has happened to my font?
According to Facebook I took this photo 4 years ago. I'm going to miss The Lane
I dunno your age... but there was a time... a LONNNNNG time ago... (ask
Nutter-Naylor
) when the West Lower was THE place to be. (The players used to come out slightly nearer the Park Lane back then too......and not a prawn in sight!
My older Brother had 2 Donkey jackets, one for work and one for best(Spurs)
I always liked the the old style THFC letteringJust bought my Butchers coat for the Man u game
Deciding on the graffiti on the back etc now.
