on match days."


Typical overprivileged nitpicking Spurs fans - don't know they're born.

White Hart Lane station is not far from the Stadium, and there are
another
three or four rail and tube stations within feasible walking distance.

Try going somewhere like Stoke or Coventry or Shrewsbury, where the
ground
is miles away from any kind of railway service, on a regular basis.


But somewhere with rather more parking?


Which is the point.

It isn't the fans who want improved PT to the ground so that
they don't have to drive there.

It's the LA that has to build the roads to deal with all this
extra traffic.
