    Something to bear in mind, from Seven Sisters, any bus ending in 9 will take you up the High Road to the Stadium and back to the tube if you can face the 20-25 min walk.
     Buses operated by Arriva will be severely affected by strike action on matchday, this will affect many bus routes in North London.

    John boy how many sold tickets?.
    Can i wear my cafc shirt? Lol.
    Well, there's still LOADS available, nowhere near a sell out.
    I managed to get my daughters Charlton boyfriend a single ticket directly in front of me in 252 last night as one of my mates didn't take up his ST.

    All the lower tiers have sold out barring a handful of odd seats here and there.
    But there's loads available for the upper tiers.

    There's one block above you lot which is virtually empty barring the first 3 or 4 rows which are taken.
    Really disappointing that they wouldn’t give us a bigger allocation in that case.

    That brought back memories of the old WHL and being in my late 20s/early 30s when the pre-match meal was always a kebab in Siraz, just outside Bruce Grove station on the High Road.  It looks tatty as hell from the outside...and inside but the food was cheap as chips and bloody great.  Been years since I've been in there and only realised it was still there when I was in the car coming back from the Hoffenheim game weekend before last.  My wife looked horrified when I told her I used to eat in there haha.

    See, its really not a looker!

    There are mountains of take away options on tottenham high street.
    Particularly once you hit Bruce Grove station towards the ground.

    If you like chicken there are literally dozens of fried chicken shops on and off the high street .

    Chicken King is the legendary place. Owner was client of mine opposing a compulsory purchase order (in alliance with Spurs). Lovely guy and the chicken is excellent.

    Survive the walk from Seven Sisters Rd to the stadium , then embarrass another team who thinks we are football fodder . Survive the walk back to Seven Sisters tube. 
    You may well do the middle part of this but survive?
    Survive as in potential trouble?  or survive as in just casually avoiding getting stabbed as its N17?

    I don't expect any trouble Wednesday night.  We'll I'd be very surprised if there is.  We have got a very different fan base now compared to what it was 20-30 years ago.  The fan demographic has changed massively in recent times since the new stadium.

    Can't legislate for N17 inhabitants doing N17 things mind you.

    So no active firm and no potential flashpoints? 30 years ago we passed a bus stop on the walk to seven sisters and it transpired that those appearing to be waiting for a bus was a mob of spurs.  Didn't stop running til Finsbury Park i think it was. Can't stand being ambushed. Very sneaky. 
    Unless one of the South Korean's pull out a ninja star or one of the luvvies pulls out a vol au vent and a glass of Verve Clicquot from there pre-match hamper... or one of the LGBTQblahblahblahs knock you over the head with one of their 21st century pronouns, I don't think they'll be any trouble at all.

    (Might be a bit different if it was Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham etc...)

    There's a LOT of facial recognition cameras in operation outside Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove, WHL, Tottenham Hale & Northumberland Park for PL games.  I would expect similar Weds night.
    Gonna have to use that line at some point..

    I used to have the pleasure of working behind Bruce Grove station for a number of years, the kebabs were very nice as well.
    Off topic, for all the time I worked there I never saw a punch thrown, very edgy though.

    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. 
  • Journey back is looking horrendous for me. Any recommendations for reasonable areas to stay overnight nearby and probably work in London the next day?

    It's not a reasonable area but I am certain there is a Premier Inn/Ibis/Travelodge in Edmonton.
  • Unfortunately my son works over that occasionally..He said the best place for pubs is Wood Green

    After the 2011 FA Cup game,  I remember everyone walking down the High Road together,  with no Police intervention.

    Hi. Spurs fan.

    Away friendly pubs are the Antwerp Arms and the Beehive. I believe the Elmhurst also allows away fans but i never go in there so can't confirm.

    I always use Northumberland Park Station post match. You can get off at Tottenham Hale for the Victoria line. Get a Stratford train for the Jubilee line to London Bridge. Or go all the way to Liverpool Street. Queues move quickly and there are plenty of trains.

    Most Cafes allow away fans and serve beer. I use La Barca mostly. Full of Albanian mafia on non match days but fine for games (my imagination might be running away with me).

     I always eat in La Barca on the High Road. Decent enough. Close to the ground. Get there early though, very popular.

    Northumberland Park is at least twice the distance of WHL but is much more civilised and easier to get on a train in my experience.
