Spurs Stadium Day

The Stadium

The home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and the largest club stadium in London with a capacity of 62,850.

Opened in April, 2019, the stadium is designed to maximise the supporter experience and brings fans closer to the pitch than at any comparable size stadium in the UK - distances from the front row to the touchline range from just 4.9 metres to 7.9 metres.

Our 17,500-seat, single-tier South Stand is the largest in the UK and stands at more than 34 metres in height - on top of which sits the Club's famous golden cockerel.

Over 60 food and drink outlets across the stadium are inspired by London's vibrant street food scene, offering supporters a wide range of choice, including plant-based options throughout. Highlights include The Market Place in the South Stand, featuring Europe's longest bar - The Goal Line.

The stadium is multi-use with a unique, dividing retractable grass surface enabling the staging of a variety of major events in addition to Spurs matches, including NFL, boxing, rugby and concerts - creating recurring sources of revenue for the Club to reinvest in its football activities.

With the addition of Visitor Attractions, including Stadium Tours and The Dare Skywalk, and world-class Conference & Events facilities, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium brings nearly two million visitors to N17 every year and a £344m annual boost to the local economy in one of London's most deprived areas.

Tottenham Hotspur is Premier League's greenest club and the stadium is powered by 100% renewable energy, with a zero waste-to-landfill policy, a reusable beer cup scheme and a wide range of public transport options.

Visiting Day

Our visit was undoubtedly memorable, not because we are Spurs fans as I was first introduced by my farther in 1958 my first match at the age of 12 years old. All I remember is I stood on a box leaning against the support rails at the old White Hart Lane just below the shelf on the half way line, I was memorised by the shear noise it was infectious I was hooked now. My dad took me to every home game through that season and beyond, I'm privileged to say I watched Jimmy Greaves last game for Chelsea at WHL and his first game for us, he became my hero. As games went by I was at every home game for our double season and was at every European Cup game, attended two cup finals but getting tickets meant we queued all night from 10pm until 8am in the morning when the ticket office opened.

To say Ive been a life time supporter unfortunately I'm not able to attend now as I'm living abroad, since living away I can say Ive never missed a live game via TV watching the good the bad and the ugly, us Spurs supporters don't never waver once a Spurs supporter always a Spurs supporter.

So our latest endeavor was our successful Europa League Cup win in Bilboa, Ange and the boys have now got the monkey off our back after 17 years of being on that roller coaster of a ride of disappointment, they say "every cloud has a silver lining" so to every Spurs fan out there "keep the faith" Ive witnessed so many great players over the 66 years as a supporter. At one stage I was scouted as a 21 year old by the great Les Allan when he managed QPR, I never made it due to a serious injury playing for his brothers team and never played again for another two years. I did play on until I was 34 years old in small miner leagues and then managed a Sunday league team to promotion and two cup finals. My next adventure away from football was golf, so that's another story for my BLOG.
