Stadium | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (opened 2019) Capacity: 62,062 Pitch Size: 105m x 68m White Hart Lane was demolished in 2017 with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium built in part across the footprint of the original ground. Numerous proposals were put forward to redevelop the Lane, but in the end it was decided that a complete rebuild was the way forward. The fact that the new stadium only partly covered the footprint of the old ground meant that building work could take place for a time with Tottenham still playing at White Hart Lane. Demolition work began at the end of the 2017/18 season. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a bowl structure. Despite this shape, 4 distinct stands are visible which are completely enclosed on all sides. The largest stand is the South Stand with a capacity for 17,500 fans. |
Recent History | Spurs fans have to look as far back as the 1960s for the club's most glorious era. The league and FA Cup double was won in 1961 and that was followed by the FA Cup the following season. In the 1962/63 campaign Spurs won the Cup Winner's Cup. They would lift the FA Cup in 1967 & League Cups in 1971 & 1973, as well as the Uefa Cup in 1971/72. Subsequent years saw Spurs lift the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982 & the Uefa Cup in 1984. In 1999 they won the League Cup and repeated the feat in 2008. 2016/17 saw Spurs go close in the Premier League, finishing 2nd & they were also runners up in the Champions League 2018/19. Although they have entertained over recent times and been able to count on the likes of Hoddle, Lineker, Gascgoine, Ginola, Sheringham, Klinsmann & Bale, the underlying feeling amongst Spurs fans is one of underachievement. |
