Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace Sunday 11th May 2.15pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

too big of a risk, all it takes is one stupid tackle. plus you can bet steak dinners none of them are breaking out into more than a jog as they wouldnt want to miss the final, so what's the point playing them . play some hungry kids , get form into the bench options and work on that number 10 role for me

They have to get minutes somewhere in the next 10 days.

Even just 45 minutes here and there. Otherwise they will lose their rhythm and touch at game speed. Especially with a PL team in the Final.

Question is: 45-60min vs Palace at home or away at Villa 5 days before the final. Villa much more likely to put in side tackles in that game because they have more to play for.

Matty Cash, the thug he is, will probably try and knock 2 or 3 of ours out the final.

100 percent do not risk any starters at villa park, they'll be out for blood
 
Looks like trying to spot and refuse entry to adults using kid's tickets starting this Sunday , email from the club.


We’re writing to let you know about a change to how Junior tickets will be scanned when entering the stadium, starting from this Sunday’s fixture against Crystal Palace.
Going forward, there will be two designated turnstiles per entrance where all Junior tickets will need to be scanned. These turnstiles will continue to accept all other types of tickets, ensuring families can still enter the stadium together – but Junior tickets will only work when scanned at these points.
Signage will be in place at each entrance to indicate what turnstiles to use and we don’t anticipate this will cause any delays to the entry process. Stewards will also be positioned at each location to provide assistance if required.
We thank you for your co-operation and look forward to seeing you at the stadium on Sunday.

That's kinda against the rules though so I understand why :D

But then people will say 'well if you're an adult you can buy a happy meal' which always make me laugh as an arguement.

Stadium been open since 2019 and people still don't read the signs or know how to scan anything on the way in.
Not to mention the security check literally says not to empty anything from your pockets other than camera's, laptops and large items. And every fucking time, some silly pillock subsequently asks me to empty my pockets anyway.

3 check points. First one tends to cause trouble because the infrared scanner doesn't work on phone screens in direct sunlight. Second tells people not to empty their pockets and then tells them to empty their pockets. Third seems to magically turn normal people into dribbling idiots when confronted with a futuristic "ticket scanner"

And now they complicate it further.

Yeah, but a happy meal is just less food than a bigmac meal. Pay less, get less.
Bit different to trying to get concession access to a match. It would be more like parking in a disabled space when you're not disabled.

Get them to attend a meeting.

They can take minutes there.

I solved any problem with phones by saying I didn't have a compatible device and got a lovely photo stadium pass with my ugly mug on it, it's only a bit of plastic but it's a momento I can keep of my Spurs ST, got the set , old WHL north stand pass, the Wembley one and now new WHL. .
