Spurs fan Dave describes the feeling of returning to Tottenham when his club's new stadium opens next season.

I know one thing I will miss about Wembley and that's the designer outlet.

Can't remember if there is a nandos near WHL?

 

[Tottenham_God]

I've never been to the old White heart lane, spewin!. Looking forward to one day getting to the new stadium!

 

[JonnySpurs]

Can't lie, I thought this video would go down a bit better than it has

Personally thought a lot of us would relate and it got me excited for the new stadium.

Seems I may have been in the minority.

*cringes*

Thing is, it wasn't really about the new stadium. It seemed like a cheap advertisement for the pub (no surprise seeing as it was Carling who made the video).
Did he also say his name was Cave???

Whenever I go to a game it's either on my own or with my wife & kids, so the sense of tribalism/ritual before a game etc. doesn't ring true with me on the same level.

Not until you’ve done your homework.

That's fair enough, I don't do the same thing as this chap either but I kinda wish I did have that as an option. I also liked the bit at the end where he talks about doing the same walk to the stadium as before but now it'll be very different - that got me thinking about walking down Seven Sisters road and seeing the new stadium emerge in a similar but ultimately different way than WHL did and that made my hairs stand on end a bit.

For the record I also though he referred to himself as Cave and I'm sure there's a lad who sometimes appears on the Fighting Cock pod called Cave. I could be wrong though.

There was no need. Whether it gives you goosebumps or not it certainly gets you thinking about that day when we do return. And those thoughts should give you goosebumps.

Watched Dele’s Goal against Watford last season and I could just feel the Lane around me as the video went on. Really miss the place. Only briefly passed through Tottenham once in the past year. A long time to be away from a place you frequented for so long and so often. Especially a place that hold so many memories.

Some good bits, mainly the walk to the ground which was about ten seconds long, but way too much about the pub. And virtually nothing about our relationship with football or Tottenham or the anticipation of being in a new stadium.

Nothing wrong with the personal view but it strangely impersonal in the way it failed to relate itself to other people, and I though it was lacking in atmosphere: the slowmo, the dreary music track, the use of stills of his mates...overall the video was a nice idea but not very well executed.

That may sound like a sniffy review, but I expect it's for those sort of reasons that it hasn't had a better reception.

All fair comments although you've maybe gone a bit deeper than I expected

I also liked the music underneath, anyone that has watched the film Friday Night Lights or is a lover of NFL will appreciate that music. A band called Explosions in the Sky specialise in that style and I feel it fits really well as a music track for short films such as this.

Each to their own though of course.

You never forget your first time. I framed my memory and it hangs at home.

So many hilarious possibilities and you go for that?!

Next time I break in to Dougal's I'm taking something obscene to stick over the top of the final line.

And a fan turned round to me and shouted something I have repeated so many times since: Yellow card for Lamela

 

[southlondonyiddo]

First memories of the NWHL

Guy sitting behind me at the top of his voice

F*** Off Sissoko you F****** Useless ****

Cannot wait to have that framed up in the living room

It is as it was.

Stop breaking into my house.

You don't own me.
