Vectis Spurs pitchside at the Lane
Vectis Spurs members recently travelled to White Hart Lane to the famous home of the mighty Spurs. We were given an exclusive tour by Gary Belversham (Tours Manager) who was very knowledgeable & entertaining at the same time. He made it a very enjoyable trip.
We got to see all parts of the historical stadium. We started the tour by walking up Bill Nicholson Way and through the very old original cast iron gates of White Hart Lane into the car park. In the car park it was pointed out that all of the parking cones were blue & white (not the normal red & white, as it would be associated with the “Gooners” colours). We entered the stadium through the away teams entrance and walked down the corridors covered in photos of Spurs Legends. We entered the away team’s dressing room, the home dressing rooms which were all kitted out with the 1st team players shirts on the pegs, just like a match day. We went through the tunnel to pitch side. We sat in Harry’s seat & the subs seats, all heated of course.

We visited all of the function rooms, we saw all of the trophies and memorabilia of yesteryear. We visited the press room and sat in Harrys chair where he gives daily press conferences from. We went out into the west stand upper and sat in the executive seats including Daniel Levy’s seat, which are padded luxury seats of course. We visited the Oak room where all of the clubs directors are entertained and the blue dining chairs cost £600 each. Everything was very luxurious as you would expect. It was a very interesting & eye opening insight into the goings on behind the scenes that we would not normally get to see.
We finished off (all 17 of us) with a good Sunday lunch at the Gilpins Bell pub in Edmonton. It was then back into the mini-bus for our trip back to the coast and onto the 5pm ferry. A good time was had by all.
