    Does anyone know anywhere decent to grab food either in Whitechapel/bethnnal green, Liverpool st or around Tottenham itself? 
     I always eat in La Barca on the High Road. Decent enough. Close to the ground. Get there early though, very popular. 
    Are you Albanian mafia?

    Gonna head to the fountain which is about 5 minutes walk from Seven Sisters. A rare £5 pint in London. Closer to kick off will probably move on to the beehive as it’s halfway to the stadium

    Going to Beehive, 20 min walk from stadium 
    It's next to Bruce Grove station but I'll be amazed if you got in there.
    They'll ask to see your tickets for the game if you're NOT in colours.
    They don't usually allow in away fans.
    Same with the Bluecoats on the High Road, just after Bruce Grove.

    FWIW, I've checked with our whatsapp group of ST holders and igeneral consensus appears the Beehive DO allow away fans, depending on fixture and whether it is full of Spurs or not.  I know I've had my ticket checked every time I've been in there mind you.

    I would say dont rely on entry, security can be funny as we all know but by all means give it a go.

    EDIT:  another message came through now - dont blatantly wear colours and you should be fine.  So there you go!

    Something to bare in mind, the pint prices in the stadium match the pubs outside, as they want to attact the punters in early.

    I’m I right in thinking you could just show ya Charlton ticket , it only says a block on there , meeting a few spud mates  in No 8 boozer  . Would bouncers be clued up on which block is which 🤷‍♂️

    Tbh I've not had a single pint in there since it was rebranded from the Bell & Hare.  Wouldn't like to say but if you're walking in together, I reckon you'll be ok.

    At the end of the day, its a low risk game and not a sell out.  Pubs need to make their money at the end of the day!

    No8 is a bit stricter than others (and pricier). Worth a try though. P.S brush up on your Norwegian and you will fit right in.

    Definitely pricier, its why we stick to the Bluecoats now, normal prices.  No doubt they are using their influence as being the closest pub to the stadium.

    Used to love the Bell and Hare. As you say, No8 relies on its proximity to the ground.

    I stick to The Olive Branch (closest to NP), Coach and Horses (mates) or the Elbow Room (en route from 7 Sisters to the ground).

    Occasionally the Two Brewers for my Green Street fix.

    Turkish 5m walk from the ground, food and beer.

    5 miles is a bit far
    Got to wear off those calories.

    This stadium must have the most configurations of what people believe to be the best public transport route of any ground in the world!
    And still it's up there with Wembley as the hardest to escape from post-match and get on a train.   
    I've looked at all the options, and with the buses likely to be on strike it looks like Liverpool St to WHL. Not looking forward to getting home though. My health isn't the best atm so I wont be able to walk to any other stations. Will just have tough it out at WHL - good the the trains are about every 15 mins. 
     Despite the bus strike the 149 from London Bridge to Edmonton via Tottenham appears to operating a near normal service today, it may be worth checking the links below tomorrow nearer the time you intend to travel.

    The 41 bus is also run by Arriva & may be affected by strike action, although it appears to be running a fairly frequent service today.

    Annoyingly half of the piccadilly line is closed this week by the looks of it, so getting to Wood Green is a mission for this. 

    I'm going to attempt to get to White Hart Lane station and just hope for the best and that it doesn't go to pens at full time, going to be a mission to get back to Waterloo after the game

    15 minute walk to Northumberland Park
    Train to Tottenham Hale
    Victoria Line to Oxford Circus
    Bakerloo to Waterloo
    An hour all in.

    Leave the ground at 21.45pm be at Waterloo at 22.50pm.

    I'm going back to Hove via Victoria, is Tottenham Hale the best way back?

    Yes. 20-25 minute walk then Victoria line direct. Or Northumberland Park and 5 minutes on the overground to TH.

    I used to get up 4.30am for work so I feel your pain.

    Will grab something at a takeaway outside the ground by White lane station plenty of choices. I dont drink alcohol so just look fwd to get into ground early and enjoying the pre match build up. I went to a concert last summer, left during last song of the encore and it was fine to get back on Liverpool st bound train from WHL station. 
    I’m hoping we will be staying after the match celebrating, so spurs crowds may have thinned out but  fully expecting the return journey to be tricky and a long wait via WHL station & a late return home.

    I think the police should divert the home fans to make the Charlton support get home easier.

    Been told by a few friends who’ve been there before that it takes ages to get out of the ground from the away end apparently, I just hope it’s not a game where I might regret leaving before full time!

    Obviously I cant confirm or deny that. Not sure why it should be different to other parts of the ground but wouldn't want to give you duff info.
