Going down to Enfield this week with the family (14 year old) and wondered if it would be worth either trying to get in to the Centre to have a look or hang around outside to see if we could get an autograph or pic of any of the players?

Anyone know if this is worth doing and if so what time would be best?

Thanks for your help in advance

i took my son to a soccer school there. got out the car and we took a pic of the outside of the building and empty car park. a spurs suited official RAN the length of the car park and made me and my 11 year old son delete any pictures FFS.

when we left i told him to recover the pic from the deleted file.

nearly ruined a great couple of days

Very much doubt they'll let u inside...however as a local there always seem to be groups of kids waiting outside for autographs, the players tend to leave training sometime between 1-3pm, and they all seem happy to stop to sign stuff and have quick pics.
Obviously this is on weekdays only, I'd imagine they'll train every day this week as we're at home again on Saturday.

Often see dads and sons in football kit outside waiting for photos when I'm on one of my bike rides along whitewebbs lane. People usually cross the road so they don't get hassled by security guys.

Not just spurs most buildings security will do it if you are on the land. It's down to the architects rights or something rather than terrorism or any such.

It's not just any old building though. It's got a fanbase. There should be an area at least where people can turn up and take a pic unhassled. To me that spot outside is perfect. It's not like people are storming the gates. When my daughter was up there the team was on the pitch at Old Trafford and most Spurs fans were either there or in front of a screen. Place was deserted.

We went today and the security guards were very helpful. Obviously did not allow any access but did allow pics (in fact they encouraged it). They don't appear to mind autograph or picture requests but the players were in all day and we were not able to be there when they left. BTW you can see the U18's training from Middleton House which we did by chance at lunchtime.
