I always liked going to WHL and am pretty sure I never saw us lose there. The game in 94 was good and I even remember us having a laugh with the referee when he gave Spurs a corner and we tried to convince him it was a goalkick but the standout game for me was the 3-1 win the following season when Strachan terrorised Justin EdinburghOne of my favorite grounds, had great results over the years, Spurs were always beatable or could thrash us on the day.
97 apart, I remember Chris Marsden tearing them a new one in 94 and Tommy Hutchison scoring the winning goal in a 3-2 league cup win in 77.
My first Spurs away game was 69 and although the ground has had more makeovers than trigger's broom, it is still a great venue.
We used to say if it was 0-0 after 15 minutes the locals start getting on the backs of their team and we would be on for a result.
I can imagine it will be very emotional at the Lane tomorrow and like upton park last year will bring back memories of Highfield Road and saying farewell to an old friend.
You get a like for this!had more makeovers than trigger's broom
The grand old Lady, you've probably got about 3 or 4 years to do it as they're goingReally want to go to goodson, hope we get them in some cup next season. I'd be happy to go out of all cups in the first round and concentrate on the league though
New years day 94 I think. I know I had a hangover.Loved WHL...it was my first away game as well. Can anyone remember what year it was when Babb scored the opener and Wegerle put us 2.1 up? I was probably about 10 so 94, 95? My dad is a Spurs fan and we were in the away end with the Cov fans, he wasn't happy that day haha.
So you support two teams that are floundering on the edge of the abyss.First ever away game for me.
Nice ground but never liked the team. Maybe something to do with me being a plastic Gunner (probably why they are rubbish as rubbish-mess tends to follow me, clearly)
But they're not really leaving are they ? Aren't they just building on it ? Increasing capacity isn't leaving. The pictures I've seen seem to show a building site next door to White Hart Lane !

Leaving Highfield Road to go to the Ricoh and having our ground turned into houses/flats that's what I see as leaving. Spurs fans talking about memories of White Hart Lane when it's next door is hilarious !across the road I think, certainly not moving to the outskirts of London or anything like that.

From your picture it's not even 80%,more like 30-40
That's like building an extension on your house !Just shifting the footprint of the ground by around 80%.
Turning one stand about face to Complete the new structure.
F**king big house that .That's like building an extension on your house !
This is how the new stadium will look.across the road I think, certainly not moving to the outskirts of London or anything like that.
How long they at Wembley for?Looking at that wouldn't it be possible to finish 3 sides of the ground and move in while they finish the 4th rather than play at Wembley?
Yes it was but there wasn't any support for it from the council and as it would have involved changes to the roads and compulsory purchase of some houses that made it a non starter.Was building around Highfield Road ever considered back in the day?
They should be alright.The finished stadium will be quality, fair play to them. Be good to see them win the PL in the coming years.
You'd imagine it will be similar to the Emirates.That big stand behind the goal looks good. I hope it means there is a better atmosphere than most new builds.
