Evening all,
As i dragged my mortal soul through my 30th year recently, I was bouyed in my hung over state the next day by the news that my brother was getting me and him hospitality tickets for a home game.
As I moved oop north 5 years ago my trips to the lane have been few and far between and having never had this experience before I was wondering if any of you guys had and if you could tell me what the crack is?
Is it any good, are the people in there kents (i dont know how to do the alternative smiley suggestion) and as my brother gets vocal if things arent going or way do I need to remind him to watch his p's q's!

If you're in the Bill Nich suite it's brilliant, esp. for the 'legends' parade where you meet Chivers, Jennings, Mullery (who was a noob), Cliff Jones etc. You also meet the MOTM (we met Sandro last time; he can't speak a ruddy word of english).
Also if you're in Bill Nich etc. you go to corporate before the game, have a ticket in the stadium (West Upper) for the game, then back to the free corporate bar afterwards. It's a great day out.

Ginge - that sounds like what he has organised. If i get to meet Cliff alone I will be more than happy.

I can recommend it as a great day out. The food is good, the service is good and as others have said, you do get to meet some Spurs legends.
But don't get me started on the prices for this day out.....

Spurcat - cost is silly! I have a friend who is a 'pool fan but is a closet spur to the extent that whilst drunk one night a few months ago he insisted that we went to WHL for him to take it all in! Anyway he was initially interested until I told him it was almost half a grand... each (they dont mention the VAT on enquiry)!!
Needless to say when its my brothers 30th Ill invest that money in cheap lap dancers and a bucket of durex.

Spurcat - I am aware from this site and previous 606 you have a long standing with spurs especially with the youth. My great uncle who was my grandads brother used to watch the reserves week in week out back in the 90's and used to give me all the updates on the latest players coming through the best of which in his eyes was Iverson! This may be long shot but I wonder if you ever conversed with him. His name was Ritchie.

Im lucky i didnt have to pay, i had a rep turn up at my job wanting our buisness, i said i was happy with supplier i was already using
He gave me load of freebies and as he said goodbye he asked if i liked football as they had a box at Tottenham and they used it for clients
I told him he could start delivering the next week
Never did tell my boss why i suddenly changed supplier

wearethefamousthfc.... what a deal! Perks of a buyer. Looks like I need to go from poacher to gamekeeper if these are the sorts of treats on offer!

tottenhamjames - No, I don't recall meeting anyone called Ritchie.Always nice to hear of someone else who takes an interest beyond the first team

Spurcat - I thought it was a long shot. He used to love watching the youth and reserves - just a shame we have mismanaged them so much. Thanks for your input.
