We were able to secure tickets to the Tottenham Hot Spur friendly versus Inter Milan at White Hart Lane in North London. We got there after the game started because the city decided to shut down the Underground to the stadium for today. We had to walk for at least 30 minutes to get to there and when we did it was pretty amazing. I guess Tottenham are known for their rowdiness and because of this the police presence was amazing. We walked down the south side of the building and it looked like a riot was going to break out with the number of mounted police and ambulatory police wearing riot gear. We tiptoed around this and entered to find that our seats were only 10 or so rows from the pitch. The game was amazing. The crowd, however, was a little disappointing. It seemed that a friendly doesn't bring out the normal home crowd so the atmosphere wasn't as footballish as we'd hoped. The fans did get up and sign a couple of times but it wasn't as hair raising as I've heard it to be. The score at the end was 2-1 Tottenham. Here's a picture of the game from our seats and a picture of Dwarf at White Hart Lane at the end of the game.
