Stadium Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

There's a matchday car park at the Powerleague ground on the corner of Leeside Road and Willoughby Lane. I think they charge about £20 or so. That's about 2/3 of a mile away from the ground.
 
No idea. Looks a fair old walk towing a moaning 9 year old at about 22:00 though. Especially if it's cold and raining and dad's in a bad mood because we lost. I reckon it's about 1.5 miles.
I'd have to do that one way or another I reckon. I often use that station to get home when I'm commuting alone. I either have to walk to Tottenham Hale, Seven Sisters or between Liverpool St and London Bridge. They're all half hour+ walks.

I'm usually power walking, even jogging, to catch a connecting train, which she won't keep up with. If we just walk back to the car, she'd be fine.
It's just a case of not wanting to show up and find parking is heavily restricted on match days.

Thinking Think GIF
 
So I've bought my 9 year old a ticket for Wolves match in just over a week.
Given it's 8pm I'm tempted to drive somewhere and walk or get a short train rather than commute on various trains/walks to save her struggling home. She's a bit wet.


Is there anywhere either within 20-30 minutes walk of the station where parking is easy, or a station with a car park a few stops away people can recommend?
I live south of the river, so I'm thinking maybe to drive north of Tottenham and work my way down?
Never tried it myself , Edmonton Green shopping centre has parking which looks like it open 24rs , be easy to get to the stadium by bus 149,259, 279 , 349 down to the stop before Northumberland Park as that's where buses divert. Coming back a bit more difficult you would have to walk up to the first stop past the Angel then bus back up to the Green.


PS Think after the game you can get a 279 from the turn round at Langhedge Lane , not sure you can get on there but you can at the Nutfield Close stop, saves a walk but takes ages to get past the Angel in the traffic.

That's a good shout. About an hours drive, right next to a train and bus station. It's not even a terrible walk.

There's a car park at Turnpike Lane tube station.
Can park free after 6.30 pm.
About a 25 minute walk to the ground, or get the 123 bus to Bruce Castle park and cut through.
 
Was reading the spam forum last week .... they were calling our new stadium ..iconic
They're in a bad way at the moment because the team is doing absolutely shit. That's making everything feel 10 x worse.
Their stadium is shit but it's probably feeling like the worst place in the world at the moment.

There were times last season when I couldn't be arsed to go to games. 2 hours to get to our "iconic" stadium to watch Angeball get exploited by relegation teams was soul destroying.
 

I wasn't entirely against moving there on the sole proviso we knocked it down and built a proper football stadium that we own.
The fact they don't own it and it's not a purpose built stadium is baffling to me. Especially if they ever intend to sell the club, what are they selling? They don't own the stadium but they did own Upton Park. It's like me buying selling someone's house and putting them in rented accommodation, then selling their furniture and fucking off with the money.
 
personally (though I have no idea) i think DL played them. I'd guess that he knew what he wanted and I don't remember the detail but from what I read at the time he ended up with planning concessions and other incentives from govt to redevelop WHL... most West Ham fans wouldn't have wanted the move but some went with the narrative of the promised land but ultimately someone else is lining their pockets

They must have got a decent payout for the Upton Park land. Probably didn't ring fence it though.

They have a 99 year lease with the stadium being temporary the terms boris signed off put all renovations on the piblic. Another 200-300m will ne needed sooner rather than later

At some point, not only will be be a crappy "temporary" mess, but it'll be in need of major works as well.
It sort of reminds me of the old Wembley in a way, which was never meant to be a long term stadium. By the 90's it was literally falling apart and nobody wanted to spend money on it.
8 years and £1bn later they built a replacement that was outdated within the same period of time.
