On a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon, a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans got their first taste of the new White Hart Lane.
After numerous delays and plenty of disappointments, everyone was left utterly blown away with the additional photos and video footage coming out from the first test event at the weekend, whether that be normal press coverage or fans uploading to social media.
The Stadium is certainly a sight to behold.
With a reported 29,000 in attendance for the Under 18 tie with Southampton, there was plenty to celebrate on the pitch as well as we took a 3-1 victory with goals from J’Neil Bennett, Harvey White and Dilan Markanday, but understandably the off pitch celebrations took the headlines.
With everyone taking their opportunity to praise the ground in the media, former players Micky Hazard and Ossie Ardiles sent messages of their own to fans.
Phew, that was some day. Going home was just amazing, seeing our Spurs family back at the home we belong was magic. Handshakes cuddles kisses hugs sing songs it was truly amazing. The Stadium, well there are no words just no words to descibe it, it’s just HOME. COYSSSSS

With the Legends game being the second test event, in front of a greater number of fans as we look towards the Crystal Palace match, there’s bound to be plenty of additional commentary in the coming days and weeks.
