White Hart Lane

White Hart Lane is the home of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, who play in the English Premier League and have a long-standing reputation for playing attractive football. Nicknamed 'Spurs', the North London side enjoy a great deal of support and are historically one of the most successful teams in English football history. They enjoy a fierce rivalry with neighbours Arsenal, though they are generally considered to be the weaker of the two teams at present. Tottenham have enjoyed a period of slow progress recently, however, and observers say that the gap between the clubs is narrowing. White Hart Lane is a comparatively small stadium with a capacity of approximately 36,240 but the club currently have plans to build a new, bigger ground very close to the current site. The new stadium is planned to hold around 55,000 supporters and will be considered as a host venue should England be awarded the 2018 World Cup. As a result of the huge fanbase and limited number of seats, tickets for Spurs matches are sometimes difficult to come by. Visit www.tottenhamhotspur.com for more details.
