    I would like to think the noise we make will be reminiscent of Old Trafford away whatever the score.
    Please don’t get a ticket if you’re not going to sing.
    Previously we had the song:

    ’We’ll be running round Tottenham with our willies hanging out
    Singing I’ve got a bigger one than you’

    …that song is sexist and screams male insecurity, yet it’s funny
    Those weren't the lyrics were they? I thought was circumcision related.

    Oh. I didn't realise that.
    Not nice then.

    In the space of 29 days I have 3 new ticks, which is ridiculous when I’ve done 84 of the 92 grounds.
    Same here, including Cardiff, brings me up to 85.
    Same West Ham (had a season ticket for 1 and a half seasons there) Cardiff ( been to the old ground 2) and Tottenham (been to the old ground 7 times. 
    Are you really counting this as a new ground ?  They haven't moved anywhere just expanded the footprint. They are still in White Hart Lane.

    If we built a new ground by expanding into the car park and made it a 60,000 seat stadium would you call it a new ground ? Of course not. 

    You absolutely would call it a new stadium tho right?

    So surely it’s still visiting a new thing?
    Of course its a new ground 
    New stadium. Same ground.
    How far does a team need to move for you to consider it a new ground? Half a mile? A mile?
    Are they half a mile or a mile away? It's a new stadium built on the same ground! Few yards either side. The ground is the floor on which the stadium is built. Very simple. 
    Millwall moved away from The Den. Hence it was called The New Den.
    The pitch moved.

    If the pitch moves, IMO, it's a new ground, the footprint of the stadium has changed almost entirely too, with only a small overlap.

    Yes, the fact that they needed a compulsory purchase order makes it clear that this isn't the same ground.

    Anyone go there (WHL) for the 2-1 defeat 77-78 season. We here a lot about the 4-1 win at the Valley but not a lot about the reverse fixture that season. I stood just below the Shelf that day....no designated area for away fans from what I could see and not to many Charlton there that day. I was only 12-13 and went with some 'lads' who supported Spurs from Ingress Gardens (Greenhithe).
    Neil B etc?  :)  
    Yes along with his brother, Tel S, Ivan D.....and a couple of others who I didn't know....Neil looked after me that day....see him last year up the legion (Tels 60th) had a good chat about the old days.....football etc.
    TS 60th in the Legion. Cant get more Greenhithe than that mate. :smiley:

    It was sung at most grounds back in the day. This is the first I've heard that.

    I suppose if you move to the house next door you have moved house in the same way you have moved if it was miles away.

    Yes agree, but what if you bought the house next door and converted both into a single dwelling? Have you moved then?

    Especially if the postcode was the same.

    What about.......

    "The famous Tottenham Hotspur went to Rome to see the Pope......."

    Or is that now anti-semitic ?
    Is that the one that ends “If the Pope drinks that, no wonder they carry him round in a chair”?

    I would think the club will announce the loyalty / phases today for the Spurs game, with them going on Sale on Monday.

    Does it matter? Let people just enjoy it.
    You wait until he starts moaning it will cost him more to drive there and back through the tunnel than it would for a Spurs fan if the game was at our place!

    Anybody seen anything around hospitality packages / boxes for the game? Cant see anything showing on their website for Carabao Cup.
    There's a third party called Eventshospitality who are advertising packages.

    https://eventshospitality.co.uk/tickets/tottenham-v-charlton-carabao-cup/

    Got excellent reviews on Trustpilot.
    We’ve gone this route as my Spurs supporting brother in law is coming over from Belfast for it. He’s in his mid 70s and undergoing cancer treatment. He’s never been to the new stadium and we’d been saying we’d arrange to take him so this draw was a great incentive all round! 

    The Stratus package is great value - £95+VAT including food and drink and a halfway line upper tier seat. They charge three to five times as much for PL matches by the look of it. And away fans welcome as long as no colours and on good behaviour.

    Seems odd with just over a week to go (and a week since the draw). CAFC do seem to enjoy making us sweat on it. I know, I know, we have to wait for the tickets from the home team (in this case almost certainly digital ticketing as per all games).

    Definitely leaving it late, thought they would be on sale by now, even if the tickets are e-tickets.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if we are delaying it long enough in case the 5.7k sells out so quick that they can say it’s too late to get more tickets. Not selling more STs means they have to sell more matchday tickets (ie 7k+ against Derby on top of the 3k away fans allocation is taken into account) and similarl numbers, or potentially more for the games coming up….and that’s without anyone wanting to go the other forthcoming away matches as well.

    catering for so many on Saturday was obviously a problem so selling tickets for two games a week may well be a nightmare atm.

    Pain in the arse... I'm flying back for the west ham game and will stay until Thursday if I can get tickets for spurs, but don't want to book flights until I definitely have tickets

    @Weegie Addick, sorry I missed your message.  Have replied now but can see you've been in touch with the club! :)
