If I was going, I’d go by car and park at the end of the tube or one of the commuter rail lines away from the ground..

I’m working FFS.

Stanmore is now in the low emission zone, check if your car is ULEZ compliant if you’re thinking about this option.

I think Watford is the next best for those not wanting to pay the charge.

Supporters coach.  No parking worries and get to have a snooze on the way back.

A1, M11 then struggle for parking. Train not ideal on a night game. Supporters coach?

Hope the dates confirmed in next few days. Need to get it off work before I start getting giddy.

You'd be better off at Cockfosters than Stanmore, especially if going A1.

Or go another mile down the road and park in the Asda at Southgate which is about 7 quid for the day and a couple of minutes walk to the tube station.

Drive to Cheshunt Station (or similar location) park up and train in to Tottenham Hale.  Supporters Coach feels like a good option though.

Car to the airport - flight to Gatwick or City and then train.

A1 all the way, no speed restrictions,  or mega traffic as you would get on m1.

Doncaster to kings cross,

Underground to severn sisters. Short walk up.

Last train back from kings cross is 23.33.
Probably get cancelled though

It's about a 35 minute walk from Seven Sisters, 30 from Tottenham Hale (next stop) - worth bearing in mind for any fans with mobility issues. No time at all on the tube, though - no more than 15 mins.

Drive to Cheshunt. Then Cheshunt to Tottenham Hale on train is an option I’m looking at. Alternatively thameslink From Peterborough to KX then tube.

Yea depends on peoples mobility before classing it as a short walk.
1.5 miles for me seems short but suppose not for all

Cheshunt or theobolds grove station just off m25 then 3 or 4 stops direct to white hart lane but there will be a queueing system when games finished

I’d imagine there will be a fairly large fleet of coaches on their way down the A1 that afternoon

White Hart Lane Station is absolutely bonkers after a match. If you can its worth walking up to Seven Sisters which is bonkers busy but slightly better depending how quickly you can walk.

  The ticket pricing will be interesting, they dictated the price when we played them at the Keepmoat some years back and turned down our offer for cheap admission at the time, and now they have a big new stadium to pay for.
 Just seen some middle tier access to lounge from £65 not direct from club though but a ticket agency.
  We are the cheapest on show other games are from £90 for the same seats no concessions.

I'm glad this thread was brought up, as I'm completely conflicted. I went to the 1975 quarter-final at the old White Hart Lane. No problems; down on the train, great day in London, tube to Seven Sisters, train into White Hart Lane station.

Coming back was easy, with no worries about getting the last train from King's X, as we had enough time for a curry restaurant. However, things were much different then, with 7.30 KOs, 10 minutes for HT, no injury time played, and no extra time or penalty shoot-outs. Extra time was only used in replays.

I took my grandson to the Arsenal game 8 years ago on the train, and I can't remember how much time we had to spare to catch the last train, but we might have struggled if there'd have been extra time or penalties.

Which brings me to coaches. Very convenient, and very easy. However, it's usually about 4 hours with a stop, and you don't get to see much of London. A bit boring really.

I'm conflicted.

Cheers .... My car is compliant but my heart is with Paul Coaches ( I'll pick a Baby Shark free one )
