It's a fantastic stadium!

How did you get on up there?

I presume that was you who won the Fantasy football though, James? That's a bit of consolation!

As there appears to be at least a couple of Spurs fans amongst us, can anyone advise what is the best way to get to their new stadium from ED? I'm going to see the egg chasers on Saturday. I haven't been to Tottenham in about 30 years! Then it was quite a long walk from the tube if I remember correctly. I'd like to avoid that if possible.

I'm in but I need to do a bit of research I think........

Ha yes that was me in the Fantasy! 

Enjoy the Spurs experience tomorrow - I am a season ticket holder there but a fairly large chap so have tried to fine tune my trips there of late to involve less walking!

I usually get the 185 to Vauxhall and then jump on the tube to seven sisters, then there are four diff buses (all ending in 9) that you can get from there straight to the ground, straight up the high road - although if you leave it too near kick off, they shut the road off (about two hours before) so you may have a bit of a walk (a lot do do the walk, but it is a good mile and a bit!). Would advise getting to seven sisters about three hours before ko if want to avoid the walk.

Another option is get train to London Bridge and tube to Liverpool Street (or bus to liverpool street) then train straight to white hart lane. these will run right up to kick off but involve a bit more walking.

Gutted to miss out on the title in the end and fall down to fourth at the last! Thanks for running it - took me a while to get to grips with the format but came on strong in final few months. Look forward to next season!

There was one at snappy snaps I used about a year ago - very helpful and quick too

Isn't there one in Peckham, in that road that goes towards the Oval? 

You probably mean Jono's Pool Hall, in Camberwell? Got knocked down about 10 years ago and turned into a gym/flats

Was told by a workman there that they are opening on 18 March

pound shop opens in two weeks (18 March), I was told yesterday..

erm.. that Sun article was from 11 months ago.

Not that I am not also hardly receiving post now.. we seem to get letters once a fortnight at present (SE22)

check message at 10.02pm on 2nd October.. :)-D

Yep, saw it too... filming near the sometime bus diversion stop as well.. funny how they kept it all local

Those ones that were filmed back in April... anyone know? (?)

I keep asking the police guys guarding the sealed off zone when I walk home from the station.. last Tuesday they reckoned it would be 'four days' ... last night he said two, three days, no more than a couple..

from twitter..

Avoid East Dulwich station. Just saw a mad staff maul a child + about 7 ambulances/ police vans turned up :(

try looking at recent posts :p...

QUE?

I saw Shirley from Eastenders in the Forest Hill Road post office on Wednesday morning.. B)

What a stadium! lovely warm weather as well, if a few Spurs fans had a bit too much to drink... Poor result but memorable day out... was in fourth row of away end, we could see small pockets of Spurs fans all over the Bernabeu - magic!

Got taxi in the end, ?58 but fairly quick (was fearing worst given the accident there the day before).. Came back to Stansted at 3am, not wanting to shell out for a taxi again I got a coach to Victoria (4am to 5.10) then bussed to Elephant and ED, got through front door at 6.15 - yikes long day... lucky was off work wednesday...

taxi for ?58 went for in the end... not too bad a price from what I've been hearing

not a big fan of bedding down... fairly large gentlemen like meself tend to struggle sitting on airport seats, let alone sleeping in them.. and taking clothes with me would mean having to drag them all round madrid

*Anna27 - yes, madrid v spurs here I come!

is stratford worth going to rather than the centre?

terrorzilla has also been mentioned... i fear cab would be a lot more moolah...

Need to get to Stansted airport for 5.20am next Tuesday and look like I will be relying on public transport.. getting to Victoria/Baker Street for a Megabus seems one option, or maybe a cab? Has anyone else done a similar journey of late?

Cheers for any advice - much appreciated!

Here here! The 63 is a great route (and not just because I've grown up with it..!).. I got it to Essex Road (near Islington) only yesterday, getting off at mount pleasant before cutting through... took me just over an hour and that was leaving at 8am, peckham roadworks et al...

ses - just some jewellery and a camera... more worried that they know where everything is now and that they may come back.. We've had new bolts put on the windows now...

Sorry to hear you got done as well, ad2000, some nasty people around..

Jimmyay - we have single sash windows, old style... and ultrauk - it was early evening we think, about six-ish, just after it got dark...

So there's me idlelly reading this forum over the last year or so, lamenting the seeming increase in break-ins/burglaries/thefts in the area when I come home yesterday to find our house had been broken into (we back onto Camberwell Old Cemetery, just off Forest Hill Road). They forced open the windows downstairs and went through a couple of the upstairs rooms but only seem to have taken a camera and some jewellery... Some kind witness saw a person jump from the upstairs bedroom windown and flee into the night, reporting it to the police...

Feels horrid that someone was in our house, going through our stuff, and now they know where everything is (computers, tv, etc) theres the fear they will come back...

Just want to let you all know to keep on your guard...
