I know there have been a few posts from the other members thanking Andy for his ticket donation on sunday but i thought it was worth it's own thread.

For those who missed it. Andy had 3 spare tickets to the game on sunday and kindly donated them to three random SC'ers. It was a great day and i'm now appreciating his generousity.

I will admit that i start this tale by highlighting that before i left the house on sunday, i did turn to my housemate and proclaim "just off to meet three strange men from the internet - if i'm not back by 10pm please ring the police".

The first thing that strikes me is that these tickets could have been touted for financial gain, I'm sure there were some people somehere on his phone book that would have wanted to go along. Not only did Andy have said prized tickets but being the swanky cool cat he is, they were executive seats with access to the lilywhite lounge. I was revelling in my free nosh and teamsheet annoucements. So i thank you for the kindness in giving these seats away when for most of us this wouldn't have been the first option on our minds.

Secondly it was fantastic to meet three genuinely nice chaps with a strong interest in supporting our team. Great to have some spurs discussion and learn a little more about you guys. Mike, Chris (Andy), it was a pleasure and would gladly watch a game (bar or WHL) with you guys again.

Happy monday to all,

Well I am blushing now!!

Not going to lie, there were times when i wondered if i was doing the right thing(!!!)............who knows who could have ended up coming. Considering the three people that came were selected at random from those interested, the fact that each was genuinely nice, i think it shows was a good bunch of people are here on SC.

Really good to meet new poeple and talk Spurs! I won't hesitate in doing this again if a similar situation arises

Glad you guys enjoyed meeting eachother and had a good time too, even if it was a bit of an anti climax in the end because of not making fourth.

I once met a bird from the internet at Wembley Arena for a Doors show and she turned up with her wheelchair bound husband. Awkward. I'm glad it worked out for you guys and you got to see Bales latest wonder goal!

I'm just pissed I forgot to bring my axe :(

Jokes aside I would also like to say thanks to Andy and if anyone else fancies giving away free tickets in future I would be more than happy to accept them too :whistle:

You say that but just consider yourself lucky you didn't end up going with Bromavinci!

Especially cool not to have taken the amusing (well, to a sicko like me) option of choosing folks who've been disagreeing hammer and tongs over some issues or other on here.

Then filmed it.

And posted it here...
