Match The homecoming 3rd April Tottenham versus Palace

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

5.45 am kick off down under, so I decided not to sleep for fear of missing the game.

Had all six speakers buzzing in the lounge ( poor wife ), and fook the neighbours :)

I thought the atmosphere both visually and acoustically was sensational. I can only imagine the feeling of being inside the stadium itself.

Magnifico, well done to all that went... I hate/envy u lot lol.....

:eriksenlol:

COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palace fan here in peace..sort of.

Firstly congratulations on what is a magnificent facility and one you must be truly Proud of. Teething issues in our bit was the beer kept running out and the infrastructure getting away was fucking awful. Your noise level was excellent when you bothered to sing, but to have “ come on you Spurs” displayed on your electronic screen to encourage you to join in is truly gut wrenchingly embarrassing .

I don’t normally register of other fans boards but on this occasion I thought you would Like to hear what I’m about to say.

I’m sorry to tell you this but new stadium but still a segment of muggy fans. We left the stadium only came down the stairs at the back only to be attacked by some of your big hard lads. I am aware (and can provide photos) of a lady (I believe to be a spurs fan) to be knocked out of her wheelchair when your lot charged the Palace fans. The fighting broke out between both sets of supporters and a 15 school girl I know was taken to an ambulance with a shoulder injury (spoke to her this morning not serious) this injury was caused by the police on horseback trying to separate the two groups. Really Spurs? You have a great new stadium that will last you through to the next century, but some of your fans dragging your name back to the 1970’s.

That all said, on the flip side, I did meet a couple of older Spurs lads who we had a great chat/banter with. Someone will pick up on the “flair” in the Palace end, and before you say anything not acceptable I agree,

Come on Spurs this is 2019.

I hate violence, but I'm also slightly glad that our support retains an 'edge'.

When I go to scum away I have absolutely no nervousness about their fans doing or saying anything to us, you can breeze through signing Spurs songs at the top of your voice and no one even dares to look at you.
 
The more of the complaints about the stadium I see, the more it reminds me of a kid who opens up a present at Christmas and feels disappointed afterwards.

The build-up and anticipation becomes so much that you go into an event like this expecting nothing but perfection, when the reality is that there will always be teething problems. Even if the event is brilliant (which it absolutely was), you still come out of it feeling a little bit let down.

A bit of perspective. This was history. This is our home.

Not sure anyone can have any complaints beyond 'people' - fans need to find their place and their voices, staff need to get to know their jobs, and the caterers need to get to know the levels of demand.
 
The best thing about yesterday was that for the first time in ages I wasn't obsessing over Brexit!

It's home, it's OUR home. Over time it will generate the best atmosphere in England, of that I have no doubt.

We do need to find a suitable new song for Spurs, it's a new era after all. Sorry but Barry Manilow doesn't cut it.

We need a song about hope and strength and togetherness or something like that anyway. Oh and crucially one we can sing along to, that's pretty important.

in the late 80s a lot of firms chose to sit, to get away from their bonehead fan bases. Huge MYTH that fans have never chosen to sit.

I was just about to give him a X and I thought hang on, he’s right

And it was about Blakey so sorted

I only saw brief highlights of the game so have read through the thread and it seems Sissoko played well in most people’s eyes but that doesn’t cut any ice with Blakey

I’m not keen on Trippier but if he plays well I’m delighted because he’s wearing our shirt

I have no problem with people sitting at spurs but not in the park Lane. If people want to sit they could have got there season tickets in any of the other stands. Paxton would have been perfect. The whole point of the wall is to generate atmosphere. Do you think people sit in the Kop or the yellow wall. If we don't have a bouncing park lane our ground will end up just an upgraded sterile Emirates mark 2.

The difference is though that you was standing at the ground, not sitting at home saying how shit our support was ! :levyeyes:
I was in the west upper on the corner off the south stand and was a decent atmosphere around me which I’m pleasently suprised about as was a little worried getting my ST there :sonhmm:

So you have numerous people who attended the game who have basically said the same thing I have but because someone wasn’t at the game but could quite clearly hear there was a poor atmosphere from certain sections they aren’t allowed to make an observation?

But if someone was at the game and made the same observation that’s suddenly allowed and is ok?

That must mean we should surely shut the forum down then because the same thing must stand for commenting on the players performances? If people aren’t attending the game then people have no right to comment on how the players performed either right?

You’re a fucking imbecile.

I am willing to bet everything I own on the fact I have attended more games over the last 30 years than you have and I can tell you right now I have been to plenty of games where the atmosphere was dogshit and have said the same thing.

Makes no difference if I was there or not, I have a pair of ears and if it wasn’t for me being incredibly unwell I would have gone and sung from minute 1.

The comments about people in the wall asking others to sit down is utterly pathetic as well, the wall was purposefully built for noise, these are the sort of “fans” you should be moaning at, not me.
