Just wanted to say adieu to WHL as we know and have known it over the years.
Ginola was the best player I've seen live at the Lane, and my last game I saw there was some 9 years ago when we smashed the goons 5-1 in the league cup semi.
Im off to Barcelona for a few days but just wanted to add my bit before the finale .
(gutted to be missing the game tbh)

Make it a send off to remember lads and lasses (y)

COYS!!!!!!

Just come back from an end of season presentation for my boy's under 11 team. One of the coaches is a gooner and he said...... "sad day for your lot moving from White Hart Lane"....... I said "not really as we're just building a new stadium on the same spot. It's not as if we're moving from Woolwich or something".....

That went down well.

Still remember my first game. 1993 Spurs Norwich. Lost 3-1 Chris's Sutton X 2 and Ruel Fox for them. Barmby for us. Next 12-13 years were lots of similar games and some genuine dross .

Last 12 years or so have been a lot of fun though!

To think we are potentially doing a whole Season unbeaten is amazing. We are such a fun team to watch and genuinely lucky to have such a decent, humble and talented manager like Poch in charge

My first games were in the late 40's when I used to walk through the park to the ground with my dad as we only lived 10 min walk to the ground. I saw Ramsey, Billy Nick, Ditchburn etc then Cliff Jones, John White, Mackay and all the legends right up to the present day. I remember in the fifties Len Shackelton of Sunderland picking up the ball flicking it over the head of two players then rounding three other players and shooting and hitting the bar. Then Tommy Harmer thought I can do that did exactley the same move from his own half and scored. There were I believe, 70,000 people in there that day. I have so many memories and will shed a tear or two today. It will never be the same to me anymore but good luck to the new generation of supporters as it's a new chapter in this great clubs history and I hope they have as many great moments as I have had. COYS !!!!!

Has the Finale spread outside the ground (screens etc?) or am I better off watching on Facebook at home? In central London now and debating whether to drive back to Dorking or head up to N17.


Any info gratefully received!

They showed a great shot of D.Levy looking on as thousands invaded the pitch. He'll be searching people on the way out for pieces of the pitch that he wants to sell.

Absolutely beaming with pride we finished the season at White Hart Lane unbeaten. Perfect send off for such a special ground.

Couldn't get over there today but just dropping in to this thread in recognition of the many amazing and emmotional times I have experienced over the years at that incredible place - my favourite place.

Come on you Spurs.

What with the corner going and the ticket ballots, I didn't think I'd get to the lane this year... but I got tickets to the Wycombe game, and took my daughter for her first ever game - and she loved it...

Hard to take in it was my last time there, but I've created another spurs addict/victim...
