Hi All

I was lucky enough to get some info on here about where to wait for the players when they arrive at WHL on matchdays, me and my lad met all of the players apart from VDV it was fantastic and he was in his element. I've got quite into football memorabilia collecting (not to sell on Ebay i want to add) and I need a few more signatures for my Champions League shirt. I've got tickets to the Birmingham away game next week has anyone got any info on where I could possibly hang around like a stalker for a bit?? :grin:

Cheers and up the Spurs!

Get to White Hart Lane 4 hours before kick off, this ensures you will be there before anyone arrives. Wait outside the executive entrance on Paxton Road, they park up in the car park oposite and then walk over. I went to the Everton game in October which was a 12.45 kick off, me and my son arrived at 9am and Harry and Kevin Bond had already gone in, none of the players had arrived yet though, all 16 walked past us and he met them all, apart from Bentley who just walked past!

Yeah I did the same at this match. We saw Bond and Harry go in after all the players had and they, like Huddlestone and VDV went in the other entrance. Everyone was very friendly and my girlfriend was very happy she got to meet Niko. I think a few of the players had a look at her too!Haha. Crouchie and the Croatians were the most friendly and I would do it again!

My wife was at Anfield last week in a corprate box. She met Gerrard and exact words to me were "Met Stevie G, what a complete cock, he was really really rude". She asked him to sign a program while waiting on a lift. When she handed the program over asking can yo write it to Barry, he replied "Look i'll write whatever I want on it"

For Birmingham best to hang around the home players car park, it's behind the stand where the dugouts are, I;ve had no trouble getting pictures and autographs there in the past.

David Bentley as a person is an absolute cock, met him in the Hyatt hotel in birmingham! Too much swagger for a guy who dont provide the goods to back it up!

Absolutely bang on. My signed shirt is worth more to me without his signature on it! It was the way he purposely left the car park from the opposite end and just walked tight to the wall and straight in, claiming he was late, about half a dozen players then arrived after.

If you just want to see the Spurs players then make it two hours before kick off. Away teams always arrive between 75 and 90 minutes before kick off but you want to get a good spot.

And sorry but I'm not sure which stand it is, it's the side stand to the left of the away end.

Haha mate! Were you to the right of us? Thought everyone except Bentley was very friendly and willing to pose for photos. It was me behind the camera most of the time though!
