Dagger Is Back Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 No idea but I'm taking my 12 YO. I see it as almost a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to go to a game like this with the wee fella. An onbroad trip with days off etc. is almost a no go area for us in terms of cost etc. so as soon as we got the thumbs up from her indoors re time off school etc. it was full steam ahead. This is the first time we've drawn an English team in Europe so I didn't want to miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have no trouble getting them into most of the pubs in central london - I'd suggest taking them to Covent Garden - expensive pubs but sonme great outdoor acts to watch, then head off to get to the game 30 minutes before it starts Forget the pubs around WHL - no chance of even adults getting in. Worth having a shish kebab or a wrap on the walk up from seven sisters - they're the best I know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It's possible I may take my 10 year old so it may be worth a separate thread for dads with kids so they could have a sensible drink somewhere in the afternoon then head up together?

robbo1874 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It's years since i was in that neck of the woods but it wasn't too clever back then. I would take the above advice or get to the ground earlier than normal. Reckon there will be trouble or at least they will want to try. If the sheep show up at Tynie in the first leg with the Spurs mob it could have potential. If it does kick off spurs will want a bit back at WHL. I don't want/condone trouble just a reply to the OP. I am not ITK, I had to talk to somebody else to get this info. But that is how I understand it is. I hope It's all crap and it passes over without trouble. It would be a shame for a special night to get spoilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlingshirejambo Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 taking my 13 year old. He's been to over 150 Hearts games so chances of him not going if i am gr nil.

I P Knightley Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hundreds of kids go to Spurs every week. If you don't mind drunk jambos then they'll be fine. Plenty of my Spurs supporting mates take their kids to the Lane without the slightest of bother. Premier League matches and midweek Euro/Cup games. The Covent Garden shout was a good one - a summer's afternoon/evening with a bit of al fresco pop while mimes & illusionists distract the youngsters.
