Spurs fan Dave describes the feeling of returning to Tottenham when his club's new stadium opens next season.
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*
I've never been to the old White heart lane, spewin!. Looking forward to one day getting to the new stadium!
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.
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.Edited the thread title for posterity
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.
Next time I break in to Dougal's I'm taking something obscene to stick over the top of the final line.So many hilarious possibilities and you go for that?!
It is as it was.So many hilarious possibilities and you go for that?!
Stop breaking into my house.Next time I break in to Dougal's I'm taking something obscene to stick over the top of the final line.
‘Have you tried the cheese?’And a fan turned round to me and shouted something I have repeated so many times since:
You don't own me.Stop breaking into my house.
