Does anyone know if the new stadium will be showing the match? Perhaps in the bars if not the main arena?
Can't get information from the club.

Wouldn’t be the worst idea. Used to watch a few away games on the old Jumbotron many moons ago. Weird atmosphere mind.

My guess would be no for a few reasons.

1. It's a school night
2. It's on domestic TV and these days it's much easier to watch the match even if it isn't
3. I used to go occasionally to the jumbotron screenings and they would simply open up only the north stand and have skeleton staff. In the new stadium I think it would require a ton of stewards and security for the whole 360 and considering 1,2 above it wouldn't be profitable.

It might be something they would consider for the CL final (on a Saturday) or another important weekend away game

Further to the above. My best suggestion is to either go to a pub around the lane or one of the many 'Spurs' pubs more central. E.g. Railway at Liverpool St., Shakespeare near Bethnal Green Stn or, a but further North and for super atmosphere, the Yucatan in Stoke Newington

Ironically I live in London but am in Spain so I'll be watching in a bar here

I guess we'd have all heard by now if the club were planning it. They'd have to promote it regularly as it would cost a lot to open up even part of the stadium for it. I imagine (big) if we were to make the final they would do something like that.

Feels a bit of a small club thing to do to open up the stadium to watch a Quarter-Final.

Yucatan is a Gooner pub fyi.

Front room and around bar is Gooner/Liverpool/Irish sports. Back room (which feels much more like a small auditorium) is Spurs.

You're right that it's not a Spurs pub as such but it has a sizeable Spurs following. It's actually great fun if games are concurrent and there are cheers and laughs as the goals go in. Never seen any trouble in there btw. Always good natured banter

Anyone know if the club will do this for semi final second leg or final IF we make it?

I would imagine not for the same reasons @jenko suggested for the QFs - we'd have heard something about it by now.
Maybe they're just waiting because there won't be much demand for the second leg after we put it to bed with a 7-0 victory tonight ;)
