attracting lately? to the boards.ie or to being a Spurs fan? With 18 posts I dont think you have right to talk about this forum much .. I supported the creation of this forum years ago

If you mean to supporting Spurs then I'll wager I spend a lot more money and get to a lot more games than you every year.

Brilliant documentary. But you put the first video second which messed it up for me!

Dublin Spur

Superb !

Puts into perspective what it means to be a real fan rather than a glory hunter when you listen to the legends talk and feel the history.

Billy Nic, what can I say, a Yorkshireman by birth, but blue and white through his veins till the day he died. Lived on Creighton Road (Stretch of White Hart Lane) for most of his life. Met him on two occasions and to describe him than anything than other than a complete gent would be an insult. Legend in my eyes.

If only we had those sort of people involved in the club today. Of course all of this will be lost if we move to Stratford.

Beautiful! COYS!

Great find Ronan. Man Hoddle scored some classic goals in his time! This video is what TOTTENHAM hotspur is all about. We support them for who they are and the tradition that goes with the name, take us to another modern bowl of a stadium and we lose all this. For me personally the Lane is the best stadium in the world. COYS

How much did any of us know about tottenhams tradition when we first starting following them? Honestly? 23 years ago i knew feic all, i liked the players, i liked the style, the tradition we learn after we fall for the team.
Best stadium in the world? Come on now.

Am i Glory hunter? All will be lost if we move to Stratford?, your right, all footage of our goals will be erased, our memories wiped and all Trophies will be rescinded and awarded to Man Utd. History is history, it doesnt vanish if a club moves a few miles down the road.
Maybe its time to create history, in a new era, in a new stadium. Maybe its time to rebuild a legacy not seen at the club in 30 or 40 years.
Maybe its time to leave the past in the past and look to the future, a future that involves us being more than a soft touch or a wannabe big club.
Maybe we can be winners, champions, with all the style and grace that the club was known for.

This forum seems to developing a split, if you want to stay at WHL you know your club and your history, your a real fan.

If you see the logic behind going to stratford your a jonny come lately or a woolwich wannabe and only starting following the club two years ago.

Its not just a split .. its also the aggressive and dismissive tone of posters with an opinion different to their own. Because they want to stay at WHL over progressing as a club we somehow are now not real fans? Baffling.

Have you seen the design for the new Stadium? Its going to be nothing like a modern bowl and will most definitley be one the best stadiums in the world

Fair enough it will not exactly be a bowl, but it will not be in Tottenham and this i feel is very sad

It is to me. Define what makes a great stadium? WHL is the best for atmosphere.

That's not because of the stadium, it's because of the fans in the stadium

Compare the Dell to St Mary's Stadium then tell me it's because of the fans in the stadium.

That said, compare our early rounds in either domestic cup with a full house for the Derby (the North London one, the one that matters ) and you'll see what difference the right fans in the right stadium can make.

The fans make the atmosphere, not the ground, not the seats, not a big screen.

I am telling you again, we make the atmosphere what it is, doesn't matter where we play, we are spurs fans and you can be sure we let the opposition know that no matter how badly or well we are playing.

WHL can have a great atmosphere, buts thats cos of the fans. I was there against Sevilla a few years ago and it was electric.
Iv also been there against Hull and Fulham and it was pretty dire.

For me a great stadium doesnt have dirty big poles blocking your view of the pitch!

I average about 20 games a season, home and away. Like mushy I've seen our fans pretty damn quiet, so forgive me if I'm not overly impressed by your argument that we make an impact regardless of how we play.

Nevertheless, there is no doubt in my mind that environment means a hell of a lot in terms of generating or maintaining atmosphere in football, and the example I gave of Southampton supports that.

Anyone who watched the Carling semi on Wednesday will attest to the physical presence of the home fans in the left hand corner on the opposite side from the main cameras, all of them standing and almost on top of the pitch. It looked immense.

If the stadium does not matter then why are we so intent on retaining stands as close to the pitch as possible in NPD or the OS? If stadiums are not important then why are Dortmund reknowned for their 24k capacity terrace, The Wall? Why are we proposing a single tier stand behind one goal ourselves? Of course stadium design impacts on the atmosphere.

Great stadiums have an aura about them. WHL has an aura about it.

Playboy

Hasnt the new stadium being designed to maximise athmosphere by being as close to the pitch as possible and having a kop style stand. The have purposely avoided going down the bowl route of the emirates.

Just managed to sit down and watch the 2 clips, fcuking brilliant. Makes me proud to be a Spurs man...
