COME ON YOUR SPURS!!!

Ok, my loyalties out of the way, I have been going to White Hart Lane for about 16 years. I'm not a season ticket holder, but I try and get to matches when I can afford them.

I've been to other football grounds and I have to say that the Lane has always been one of the best. I appreciate that I am biased, but I think the only older stadiums that top it are Stamford Bridge (because of the facilities) and Old Trafford. Obviously it cannot compete with newer venues like the Reebok Stadium and Emirates Stadium, but then neither do any of the others. Of course, the new stadium will begin construction soon and will rival the Emirates.

Unfortunately while the stadium itself has not problems the same cannot be said for the area. Tottenham is a horrid, crime ridden hole of a place lived in by degenerates. Unfortunately this means that the local places consist of cesspit pubs, horrid fast food shops and the odd feeble attempt at a night club (Rudolph's I'm looking at you....). Also, the transport links are awful. The Tube is miles away, White Hart Lane is on the slow route and even Northumberland Park takes ages to travel to. Its an absoloute nightmare on match days, especially if you want to get home.

Therefore I say if you're going there for a match you'll have a good time. Otherwise stay away.

Summary: Worth going to for the footie, but otherwise stay away
