Just had a quick look, Liverpool got 5800 there last year, so probably that. Can't imagine it's a big tie for spurs fans given they have European games so they'd probably give us a lot.

Great draw. For anyone who’s not been it’s a wonderful stadium. Fingers crossed I’ll be there probably with a few of the Tottenham lads in their end.

Its a fanastic stadium. Saw spurs v inter in champions league a couple of years back. Its worth a trip. The concourses are amazing and wasnt too expensive for London. Not a rip off like the Emirates.

And very few at the 1987 second leg at Highbury.

Not surprising as we’d lost the home leg 0-3.

I went, but only because I was in London at the time..

I went, we called at Baldock on the way there and went in The George and Dragon pub, someone I was with and still goes now asked the woman/girl behind the bar if George was about, she didn’t get it .

I just cant get my head around the fact that so many more people want to go to a game to see us play a Prem team in a new stadium than want to go to Boro for example. Whats the thought process? Do they want to see the Prem players? Just to see a nice ground? Ive had messages today "i wouldnt mind going to that one", from people that would come to one game a season and never go to an away game. In my head no one game is hugely different to another. There are the big jeopardy games, like playoffs etc, that have something different, but this is no different to Boro away for me, a team we dont play very often in a cup competition.

I was working when we played Spurs away last time. Never been to Chelsea and couldn’t make Bromley. At 76 I’m running out of time to get the full 92.

They play on the Saturday before which means it could be either really. If they played on the Sunday before it would have definitely been Wednesday. TV will decide, feels like it could be a TV game though.

Yes ditto Idler

This game is carrying many different "draws"

For some the chance to go on the Ground of one of the "current 92" if they are happy with collecting that way

For some it will be chance to go on the current Ground of all the 92 Clubs having "collected" a Teams previous Ground . ( 1 and 2 are similar but not the same )

Finally some people like to collect Rovers playing at every Stadium they can

Like you I'm running out of years to hit the current 92 Grounds , still 6 clubs short Exeter Plymouth Cardiff Swansea Bournemouth Brighton and Brentford Spurs and West Ham  oh and bloody Everton in the new Ground category

So lots of reasons for lots of different people but my main reason for going is to see this :

Rovers have played at Boro in recent years . Many rovers supporters will have never seen rovers play a spurs side at their place, let alone in a new stadium. And may never get the chance again. It’s a once in a lifetime draw pretty much. Had United made the draw, a game at there place would have been the first since 1935 for instance. The Spurs draw is a rare fixture. Prior to 2009 it’s been 50 years. Boro just isn’t as attractive .we’ve played Boro in all comps 25 times compared to spurs 9.mansfield took 6thousand to Everton . They wouldn’t have taken half that if it was Boro. For the same reasons .

The prices were heavily discounted at Emirates. £ 10 adult and £5 kids, that level will not be repeated at Spurs.

If Rovers get 40% of gate receipts, then Tottenham can charge what they like.
Haven’t they also got beer stations that fill the glass from the bottom? That’s got to be worth seeing just on its own.

Why not go and watch a team in London every week?
If you’re not a full blown supporter then I think it’s obvious why you’d rather go on a day out to a big club/stadium like spurs rather than a trip to mk dons. If you’re a proper fan then you’re right it makes no difference.
But the extra numbers will be made up of people who are just wanting a day out at a prem club

For me, I'd love to go to all of them.  But it means a bit of time off work so I have to pick and choose.  Clearly I would do it for spurs having never been but for Accrington and Middlesbrough on TV it doesn't make as much sense. I've never seen us play spurs (was working in America last time we did) so a ticking off one really.
