How was the atmosphere...? Seemed slightly dull after the initial songs if I'm honest....

Honestly I was disappointed with it. Was surprised it was as flat as it was. Palace fans were louder for long enough sections. I was in West stand and it was full of people not bothered with joining in with chants. Still a great experience but just not as good as expected.

Fine enough on East. Noise from the Park Lane was loud. After 30 mins of the usual dominance but fluffed lines it's normal for spurs fans to get grumbly.

I was in the south stand, I don't understand why there are people in that particular stand that have no interest in singing at all standing at all I thought that was what the stand was all about. The lady in front of me was on her phone for around 75 minutes of the game at one point when I glanced down at her there were pictures of her naked on her phone which believe me was not a pretty sight!!! Surely there should be some sort of ticket amnesty where people like this can be moved into other more suitable areas of the ground to make it more of a wall of noise they wanted. I know this stand is a novelty for some fans as its new but this is our ground for the rest of our lives

I was sat a block along from the Palace fans in the East Stand. They were loud and rolled out the usual ‘Emirates’ chants etc but for most of the game I thought our own fans were drowning them out. When the South Stand got going it really reverberated along the East Stand and got a lot of us joining in. Think the atmosphere for the rest of the season will be good, albeit a little nervy at times.

I was in the East level 2 and the atmosphere was pretty good where I was, but the South stand were crushing it as you would expect. That said, I had no doubt that I was sat in the Prawn Sandwich Brigade section when the gent to my left - who told me he used to have a season ticket at the old Lane, and who seemed a pleasant chap, to be fair to him - had to ask me what everyone around us [including me] was chanting when We're The Park Lane/We're The Shelf Side got going in the first half.

Glad we got that game out the way. Things will settle down a bit more as we all get more used to the new place. Think everyone was a bit overwhelmed by the whole place and occasion
Was a bit disappointed with the atmosphere in the Park Lane (I’m row 38 pretty much slap bang in the middle of it) but as said I think with time we'll grow into it
As I thought the park lane upper row 30 and up pretty much sat down the entire time. Luckily the few around us were happy to stand all game so we did.
Was impressed with the size of the Cockerel on top of the South Stand, can see it from miles away. Much bigger in real life!

Was sat in the south stand, when in sync and full voice it was unreal. I was in the 4th row, felt like I had a fucking army behind me when we got going.
Whoever did the ticket exchange thing thank you very much and I am so jealous of your seat. But being able to go to this game has made my year, probably decade TBF. Been smiling all day!

I'm in East Upper Level 5 block 523 so very high up but a panoramic view. Tbh the ceremony doesn't do it for me I come to watch the football but I get why it happens. The atmosphere reflected the way we all felt before KO, it was about getting a win somehow, nothing else and when Sonny scored I felt relief more than anything else.
Its an amazing stadium, when we've all got used to it the atmosphere will improve. It was really strange having the away fans to my right rather than over in the far left corner where they used to be.

I was in 530 thought it was going to be too far away but great view point and lots of singing coming and originating from our area. Went quiet for a while but think we were all nervous as hell. Especially the guy next to me who dropped wind all game and smelt like a Thai sewer. Bottom filling beer taps were a nightmare and journey home will take some planning where we walked to Bruce as crowds were huge elsewhere. Teething problems will happen but Stadium is stunning and we can and will create one of the best atmospheres just need the crowd to get behind the team. Loved being at the first game at the lane and well worth flights and ticket price. Now back to the desert.

Sounds like a lot of you lot had trouble getting home. Walk down to Tottenham Hale I thought was ok and got train out to Stansted without a problem. Didn't seem to be big crowds at the underground station although I was down there quick enough after end of game. Assume lessons will be learned and club / council will have next 5 games (at least) to learn from and then have couple of summer months to put changes into place

Mixed night. Was right next to the Palace fans, some of whom were disgusting ("kill all the Jews"). Some of our fans weren't much better. Lots of goading and spitting (both sets of fans) and a couple thrown out before halftime. Grown men, not kids. Pathetic individuals.
Train away was a nightmare again, even with Northumberland Park open. Getting in and out of Wembley was a dream compared to this.
Football was a mixed bag. We looked very nervous, but three points is what mattered.
