Emirates Stadium Tour

[Admiral Huddy]

My brother in law thought it would be hilarious and bought my son an Emirates stadium tour for Christmas which he insisted I take him. Coming from a bloodline of spurs supporters, it wasn’t something I would have chosen to do but I was quietly looking forward to it.

I booked the voucher a few months back and we went this Saturday. Football stadiums on non-match days are always very eerie places and it was so quite.



The stadium is pretty impressive to say the least.. Although not as big as I imagined. The glass sides gives the stadium a futuristic look but it’s spoilt slightly by the prefab concrete in between.



We proceeded to the Directors entrance “S” where we were greeted by the clubs historian.

A plaque in the reception area commemorates the opening of the stadium by HRH Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. The queen was supposed to have done this but was too ill to attend (I know how she feels) and the special guest book dating back over a hundred years had been prepared for her. Shame that.



Our first stop, the directors lounge. Lovely big seat and interesting to see the names of the owners and directors under their seats.



Awesome views from here.. You’ll notice too (for anyone who hasn’t been to the Emirates), the honours surrounding the stadium in chronological order, with a big gap for their next. This has been empty for a while now..







On to the players entrance. Plenty of pictures that even I as Spurs supporter remember. A time capsule has been placed here, which rumours have it, contains a pair Vieras socks!



I always thought time capsules were supposed to be a secret..
