Wasn't it nearly called Gilpin Park?
Rings bells but I'd need to revisit those books. Might have been the old ground on Northumberland Park that would have been closer?
I know someone who ended up going to the Tottenham pub on Tottenham Court Road for a pre match beer on their first visit thinking it would be round the corner.
No it doesn't Creighton road is small section that cuts across white hart lane. WHL is one continuous road from Wood Green to Tottenham

That's a good point actually.Unless someone ties us up to a 50 season deal, I cant see TfL entertaining a name change
As Joe clash pointed out.Our temple was nearly called Gilpen Park.
Wonder if the station would have changed its name at some point

I remember reading you did that before. I thought that's a great idea,so much so , me thinks i'm gonna follow suit.
First time I tried it " This train is being held at a red signal for a few minutes,whilst we regulate the service".....B*st*rds
I was gutted when I saw that pub had renamed :dembelewtf:
Called the St Giles tavern or something isn't it?
Couldn't remember, but just found a site about the change and apparently it's called The Flying Horse now, which was its original name since 1790 or something
I asked a mate about this who works in the area
The flying horse was near the sight ,but not exactly. They are rebranding the pub for when St Giles is trendy and Denmark st is a must place to go for hipsters etc.Shame
Aw shoot sorry Mr. Levy
I suppose just as the our place was once called High Road ground and White Hart Grounds until about 1910 when people were referring to our home as White Hart Lane
However the White Hart pub does have a place in our history as the landlord of the pub had a nursery on the site - at the back of the pub - which was owned by Charringtons Brewery - who had let left the nursery disused. We then rented the ground from Charringtons.
I suppose if our club was formed in the last 30-40 years the ground may have been called The Ruldoph, the Valentino or even the Rudolph Valentino Stadium

Let's just get this stadium built, we can argue about what we call it then!!
Isn't today the big day then. When the club once again submits another set of pictures and drawings to the local council. ?
Yeah but what good pictures and drawings!
It's strange isn't it Mrs P how many people prefer to put the 'cart before the horse'!
