    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?

    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.

    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) .

    I merely carried out my annual Boxing Day tradition

    Eating so many wasabi peas that I can see through time

    So tell me, do we win anything? Or do the tachyons cause temporal interference meaning that your vision of what we refer to as time to be blocked?

    He didn't say forward in time, to be fair.
