According to Twitter feed Chas and Dave at half time - guess chat and no songs in view of Chas's condition? Looks like Harry Winks will be their support act!
Now on the main web site - I'm sure we can all sing along to help them out.
Nice that Chas can appear

I forgot that the guy that the guy that designed the stadium Archibald Leitch worked on so many grounds in the UK, crazy the amount of stadiums he designed.

When I first read the Tweet, it said Chas and Dave were appearing with Harry Winks, I assumed Winksy would be taking over the vocals!

Guess each person has the first refusal of their seat?
Woohoooo I got an email saying that I am successful in getting one of those seats, it really felt like I won something
Then I realised
No doubt I'm getting some shitty seat that some old man with his smelly balls sat on for so long with smear marks but paying £50 for the fucking privilege

I agree I would take a point now to secure that milestone, and second of course. A draw might even help Utd finish above ARSEnal, and keep them out of top 4. What a sweet season that would then be!
Just need harry to score a few more goals to get golden boot to cap it off

Didn't make it up there as often as I would have liked, but at least I made it a few times (about ten games).
It's a nice opportunity to reflect on what it means to be a Spurs fan. I started supporting Spurs in 1990 when I was 10 and just fell in love with the club. My room was covered in newspaper clippings of Spurs wins, flags, scarves, pendants, the lot! I had the purple 'famous five' era top and virtually had to be peeled out of it as I wore it so much.
No idea where it came from, but I had a video of famous Spurs goals. My mum got me an anthology of Spurs for Christmas when I was about 12 and I read that Thing from cover to cover over and over. With that and the video of historic goals I may not have witnessed pre-90s Spurs, but it felt like part of my identity. Greaves, Mackay, Hoddle, Villa's wonder goal in the final...watching footage and reading about them made me feel proud and emotionally connected to them and those moments, even if they were in the past. Hard to explain, but they were part of my present; a present of falling in love with the club and its history. A sense of heritage, of an almost mythological romanticism that reeled me in.
The ever present in all of this was the Lane. The stands may have changed, the players, hair styles, and kits may have changed, but that rectangular patch WAS Tottenham Hotspur. It was my time tunnel to our history, and my stage for the highs and lows of my youth (which, let's be honest, were mostly lows in the 90s).
I was too young to really appreciate my first visit. My dad (before he became a gooner) worked in London and managed to get tickets last minute. I was promptly thrown on a train and the rest was all a bit of a blur (we won though).
When I finally went there as an adult I remember being stood outside the stadium in awe. I've had a picture of the ground for years, and when Google Earth and Street View arrived it was the first place I'd search for, but here I was, in daylight, soaking it all in with my own eyes. It was just a ore-season friendly, but I felt like all my birthdays had been rolled into one.
I appreciated every single one of the games I got to see, and sung my heart out knowing how lucky I was to be there. Even when we lost (which thankfully wasn't often at all in the few games I got to see) it was still great to be a part of it, surrounded by thousands of people who, whatever differences we might have, were all United by the rollercoaster of a journey we had gone on, and continue to go through. It sounds so corny as I type it out, but I'd look around the stands thinking I was with my brothers and sisters.
It will be an emotional, sad, and proud day to see the last game at the current version of the Lane (albeit from a TV in Bristol), and whatever happens this team has given the old lady an emphatic finale. We can kid ourselves and say it's simply going through an extreme revamp, but it says everything about this great club that even shifting the pitch a few yards is worthy of such a send off. But as sad as it is, it's also incredibly exciting.
We're staying in the same area, and will even have an area of the pitch on the same site as the original, yet will be getting something incredible. Unlike the gooners or (tries desperately to stifle laughter) West Ham, we're building an incredible new stadium that retains the physical location and all its magic of its predecessor. I can't wait to see it in person.
The Lane is (soon to be) dead. Long live the Lane.
(Apologies for the long post. Got a bit emotional!)

I'm not sure I'll contain my emotions if I see Ledley, Ginola, VDV and BMJ on the same pitch. Golf ball in throat.
