Tottenham Hotspur , a mess

[GUBRATS]

Anybody already been to it by coach ? , As in ' soccer ' or NFL ? 

What's the situation with parking/dropping off , picking up ?

[Eddie]

Are you getting ready for the 1895 cup final?

I haven’t been yet, looking forward to seeing Saints there in May.

Map of the official coaches parking places, which are a ten minute walk at most according to THFC.

The normal away fan coach parking is about 10 minutes walk from the stadium, although presumably there will be way more coaches coming down than for a prem game, so worth checking with your trip operator where they think they're going to park.

When I looked it said they were ' drop off points ' , not actual parking

I think someone had posed a similar question on the Sheffield and Whitehaven boards. Keep an eye out

The point exactly , everybody is an away fan , few from the local area , probably 5/6 times more places needed than a PL game , expecting similar problems ( on a smaller scale ) for the Bash at Headingley

Situation we have is 2/3 days after we play Sheffield or Haven the people who run the coach travel are away on holiday for a week , it can't be left until after the game to make arrangements , we just dont have the time , not being presumptuous , just trying to find the facts

This map suggests they’re car parks.

This has some details of how coaches can book a permit to park in the coach zones, so worth getting in touch if you're planning a trip. Although I'd hope the RFL would be on top of this too...

Seems they want your shoe size to book a coach permit , must arrive 2/3 hours before event , early start from Leyth to get there for 10am

They might waive the 2 hour cutoff for the 1895 final, as the vast bulk of the coaches won't be arriving until after kickoff. I wouldnt cut it too fine though, the North Circular can get pretty busy even on a Saturday.

Parking is not the best around the stadium, but I definitely would advocate train, station is a couple of hundred yards walk to a very impressive stadium. I've been to one Spurs game there and everything in the stadium was first class.

That sounds great tbf, on the coach at 6, pass the ales around, quick stop at Stafford Services for more beers and nobody remembers getting to the stadium let alone anything about the match.

The 2-3 hours seems to be for if the roads are closed as they would be for a football event. They may not be as the Met Police may feel they don't need to either segregate fans or maintain a presence that would require road closures.

Which is why I was asking for personal experience , rather than the ' party line ' of " Tottenham Hotspur are a massive club , I'm sure they can deal with it " , bottom line is they won't have anywhere near enough capacity to cope IMO , funnily enough same applies to Headingley for the Bash

As I said , not being presumptuous , just a time issue with holidays that were booked 18 months ago

Hopefully there will be more information shortly , 2/3 weeks isn't really enough

To get from Leigh ( that doesn't have a train station , just in case you didn't know ) to WHL for 11 am on a Saturday , what time do you think I'd have to leave ? , bearing in mind I've travelled on the London tube twice in my life , and one of those was in 1978

Well that was an interesting couple of hours trying to find a decent price , best I came up with was about a hundred quid return , that's just Wigan to Euston , add on the extra for a London travel pass ( so I've been told ) at about £ 20 , or I could just get on a coach at thirtyish quid , sit down crack open a can and get off outside WHL

That explains a lot
