I don’t live near Doncaster so the coach would t be an option.  But as I’m working anyway……

Anyone wanting to use Train, last train back to Donny is 23:33, so an 8pm kick off makes unlikely you’ll make it back to Kings Cross in time

A mate of mine from Donny is a Spurs Season ticket holder and he says any fans travelling by train will easily make the 23:33 train. He also said to use Northumberland Park tube station which is a 10/15 minute walk as it’s a lot quieter.

It gives over 90 minutes to get there

Tube is a 30 minute walk apparently

Theres a station at WHL, 5 minutes walk. No point giving out duff info.

But the Overground trains in and out of White Hart Lane are much less frequent (and have less capacity) than the Tube, so whilst it saves you the walk, it's unlikely to get you back to central London quicker, unless you leave the game before full-time.

Do they not put on extra trains on match day?

Not sure extra transport will be needed. Back in DEC 1975 26 thousand ish watched quarter final at WHL, of which i was 1. Not sure crowd will exceed that.

51k Spurs lowest attendance at the new stadium (i think). You'd imagine our attendance there will start with a 4.

Not in my past experience and I don't think the Overground network has the option to add extra trains beyond their scheduled service. Might have changed for Tottenham matchdays, but I doubt it.

The other thing is if you get a train from White Hart Lane you're going to have to change at Seven Sisters anyway, or at Liverpool Street... so you may as well walk to the Tube if you can. Or to Northumberland Park station as someone suggested up thread.

Northumberland Park is a rail rather than a tube (Underground) station. It’s about a 15 minute walk once you are out of the stadium. Maybe massive crowds might add 5 minutes on to the walk on a bad day.
