As far as I can find out there are no trains to either White Hart Lane or Northumberland Park. The Victoria Line is running but that will be rammed. Does anyone know if parking restrictions are lifted?
 
This was the last official update, I think:
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2019/november/boxing-day-travel-update/

"Normal matchday car parking restrictions will be in place."
Thanks....i didn't spot that on the site for some reason. There us actually a train service on my line from Oxford Parkway to Marylebone so I think I will use that and the Victoria Line and wait a while after the match. Hopefully the absence of other train services into London will mean the Victoria line isn't too bad.

You theoretically have far less sales shopping commuters on the tube lines
that day, as the suburban train lines are shut (limiting the herd to those who
can easily get to a suburban tube station) .

Using me for example, to get into town that day from Enfield I would have
to get to either Oakwood or Seven Sisters by car (or even worse) buses.
 
"Our Boxing Day clash with Brighton has sold out - however, there are still a limited number of tickets available via our Ticket Exchange platform."

Given the suburban train shut-down, I hope there is not a significant
number of "tourists" in the crowd that day.
 
Match day and hardly a train on Boxing Day. Seems that game day should have been rearranged if fans have a problem.
 
It turned out fine in the end. I went straight out on the final whistle and there was no queue at Tottenham Hale. Train cam straight away and I managed to catch the 3.15 train at Marylebone....never got there in under an hour before!

Allegedly a 56K attendance today, so you must have got ahead of the herd
(or menfolk remained to drink themselves into a stupor to avoid hearing tales
from their spouses about high st sales shopping escapades :) ) .

It did seem a bit touristy, honestly. Son should've shown his face just for the Koreans in attendance.

Thought it would be (in general, not the Koreans) given the shut-down of
overground train lines into London today. The WHL crowd were trying to lift
the boys though (so not as muted a crowd as I feared) .
