Whereabouts in Norfolk are you? Thetford?

I’m in Bury, spoken about this before, quite a few yids here. So many kids mine included support Spurs, guess it helps having Kane and Alli in our side.

Do you mean Bury St Edmunds?
Is it just known as Bury locally - thought you were talking about the place up north at first.

We have that general area down as a place to possibly move to in a few years time. Have been going up to Norfolk all my life for holidays / weekends etc , driving through it always seems a nice part of the world.

Bury St E is a lovely town
good routes in and out, plenty of ameneties

Biggest disadvantage is the eyesore of a sugarbeet factory - when that fecker starts boiling the beet and you end up down wind, the place sucks the big one.

I lived there as the wife worked in Ipswich and I worked in Huntingdon

changed my wife, changed my life.
 
In the less affluent areas of Surrey where I grew up in the early 80's - Addlestone, Chertsey, Staines, Ashford, etc - it was pretty much all Spurs. My brother was part of the scene and went regularly. As I understand it many from around here swelled the ranks of those that were more interested in the fighting than the football. They often spent the 2nd half in the pub waiting for the final whistle and the opposition fans to exit the ground. WHL wasn't such a nice place to visit in those days.

Soz, yep Bury St Edmunds, the Suffolk/Norfolk types call it Bury. Not to be mixed up with Bury, Lancashire. :dembele:

It is a really nice place, could confidently say it’s probably the nicest town in Suffolk.

Born in Edgware general and lived in Golders Green til 15 and unsurprisingly pretty much surrounded by yids. Travelling down from Birmingham this season ive been pleasantly surprised by the decent number of yids travelling down from the west midlands.

My schools were bell lane in Hendon and Christ college in Finchley so spent plenty of time in both areas, I am well in to my 50's now though and have been in brum close on 20 years so north London looks very different these days!

lol having a stroll down Bell Lane shows how much London has changed - never used to be a car in sight now days its double parking on both sides. We used to play football on the car park on bell view estate because it was deserted and ideal pitch size. Last time I saw it there were security guards keeping excessive cars out!
Most of my mates went to St Marys, was my first choice for senior school but mum wanted her only child at grammar school so off to Christ College it was.

Crouch End, but that is pretty close to the ground (25 minutes on the bus). Same with Wood Green. It would be nice if all the locals embraced Tottenham. I remember as a kid people from the local estates mocking us as we walked past to the ground. Changed somewhat with our rise.

Always surprised me that Enfield was far more Tottenham than Tottenham itself. I would guess that a lot of people who were originally from Tottenham moved out to Enfield at some point (now a lot of them have moved out further into Herts/Essex).

Of the places I have lived, ratio of yids to scum IME:
Palmers Green 45/55
Enfield 70/30
Tottenham 52/48

That's obviously not taking into account the cockney mancs and a smattering of other team's fans into the mix, but Spurs and scum are very dominant in all those areas, unsurprisingly.

Could sort out lift share on match days from Bury area. Normal route to the Lane is drive West A14- south A11- A505 to get train from Whittlesford Parkway which is 40 mins drive, £12 return with network card or occasionally drive 1 hour down to Bishops Stortford where more trains and £8 return.

Cheers, trips down to the Lane have been more infrequent due to having kids. We managed a few matches at Wembley, which was a painful journey from here. Hopefully we’ll get to a few more matches at The new Lane. I’m from Islington and I don’t miss living in London, everything I need is nearby and it’s a great place for my boys to grow up, decent town and some great countryside on our doorstep.

Nicest place in Suffolk is Southwold

Coastal Suffolk running from Cove Hythe just above Southwold, then Walberswick ( home to the famous ) down to Alderburgh is a very special place . Slightly inland is Fram ( castle on hill , Sheeren) , exceptionally friendly Halesworth, Shape Maltings , posh Woodbridge etc .
The zone attracts huge amounts of tourists and is still very rural. Very different from Bury (nice town) which has more every day places around it such as Brandon .
Nature reserves back the beaches , so has left the Sandy coast untouched (not ugly bungalow land ) unlike much of the country .
Southwold has been voted Britain's best seaside town on many occasions and is Britain's second most expensive.
 
Boltonspur, talking of woodford bridge do you know Tottenham Tony used drink in the White Hart, now the posh food place,i used to live down by the Three Jolly Wheelers when Spurs trained down by the dump
