"FFT spent last Saturday afternoon completing a football double header, which finished with Joao Palhinha's stoppage time equaliser to salvage a point for Spurs against Wolves. The day began in one of Hertfordshire's more rough-and-ready watering holes, the designated away pub for Hull City's trip to Watford. Plastic cups, black-and-amber, broad, local accents - everything a three o'clock kick-off should be about in the Football League."
"Spurs' new home ground has arguably the most modern feel in the Premier League but it is not until you have visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that it can be truly appreciated. At some grounds in English football, the so-called 'fan experience' takes a back seat. When these grand, old stadiums were constructed years ago, that wasn't necessarily a thing. At Spurs, for better or worse, that is no longer the case."
"FFT didn't use a turnstile on Saturday evening, instead we were greeted by Rich, who made the airport security experience now synonymous with attending a match in the 21st Century decidedly more amiable and convivial than is often the case at one of the United Kingdom's major flight terminals. The atrium, as it is known, beneath the West Stand is more nu-age five-star hotel lobby than football stadium and FFT was promptly directed to the lift where they even had somebody to press the buttons."
A Saturday double header concluded with Joao Palhinha's stoppage-time equaliser for Spurs. The day began in a rough-and-ready Hertfordshire away pub for Hull City's trip to Watford with plastic cups, black-and-amber and broad local accents. The evening contrasted with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's polished hospitality, including a Seat Unique Club Suite offering generous food and drink and courteous staff pouring a crisp Czech lager at full-time. The stadium features a modern, hotel-like atrium, friendly airport-style security greeting and personal touches such as lift attendants, prioritising fan comfort over traditional stadium grit.
