History
|
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. moved to
White Hart Lane in 1899, and the first game was played on the
September of that year resulting in a 4-1 home win against Notts
County. 5000 were there to witness the victory.
By 1923 the ground could host 50,000 covered spectators
overlooked by a copper cockerel (the club mascot) that still
keeps an eye on proceedings from the roof of the East Stand.
1953 saw the introduction of floodlights (which were then
renovated again in the 1970's) and by the end of the 1980's both
West and East Stands were in their present state.
The 1990's saw the completion of the South Stand and the
introduction of the first Jumbotron video screen.
The renovation of the Members' Stand was completed in 1996
leaving the ground in its present state. |
