Spurs Team bus

by rotherwick_royal » 14 Nov 2006 15:41

I've just remembered something. Did anyone else see the Spurs Team bus about an hour and a half before the game travelling up the A33 and over the M4 to the stadium. That's the A33 from Basingstoke - what the oxf*rd was it doing there? Was definitely their coach as we followed it to the ground and checked out the plate once we parked.

Last time I looked Tottenham was in London :?

Might explain their lethargic display - praps they'd been sitting on a bus for 3 hours :lol:

I think you may find they stay at a hotel the night prior to a game. :wink:

Not exactly a long way though is it? And judging by the usual queues on the A33 it might have been quicker coming from London :?

With the early kick off they would have stayed at a hotel. Probably the Travelodge Basingstoke. Stopping at the Little Chef for a pre match breakfast. Oh to be a Premiership footballer........... :cry:

The Little Chef on the a33 towards Basingstoke burnt down a couple of years back and has now been demolished

I thought the away teams stay at Curtan's Farm, off J12. Perhaps there's a back way from there through Burghfield to avoid the M4?

Nice Hotel that donnington valley one near Newbury. The sister hotel up the road called the Vineyard at Stockcross is even better. I enjoyed dinner on a table next to the lovely Phillipa Forrester of Tomorrow's WOrld fame recently. :P

Are you sure of that? I was told that all away teams would be at Curtan's Farm (sp?), as JM owns that one too? It's certainly been vetted and passed by the Premier League people.

I can assure you that after their Marriott/West Ham experience last year, they certainly would be very careful where they stopped and ate anything.
