Broad and HotspurWe are excited to announce the addition of podcasts from Broad and Hotspur to all Tottenham supporters club Websites!

Based in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, and “Offending football purists since 2017”, Broad and Hotspur is hosted by lifelong Spurs supporter Kevin F. Forde, the hilarious and insightful Jesse Steel, and former local radio personality Kevin Brady. Each episode is recorded live at the home of Philly Spurs immediately following the match to provide the freshest possible reactions, inviting the listener to eavesdrop on a conversation that could be taking place at any local watering hole.

Kevin Brady explains “Our goal is to engage our listeners with the same level of discussion they’re having with fellow supporters. We aren’t experts and we don’t pretend to be. We love Spurs and we want to have some fun with that.”

Jesse adds “If you like your podcasts like your romantic encounters: drunk, passionate, and with three dudes in a bar’s basement then Broad and Hotspur is the podcast for you!”

Here is the latest show: CanYouHearMeNow:

Inside Tottenham’s New Stadium

They’re finally going home, more than seven months late; Tottenham Hotspur will play their first game at the new White Hart Lane (or whatever it is named) on April 3rd against Crystal Palace. What a journey, what a stadium! Having played at Wembley for what seems like an eternity, the team will play at arguably the best stadium in Europe.

Tottenham Stadium

While not having the largest capacity (that remains Old Trafford in the EPL) the stadium certainly has a lot to boast about including some weird and wonderful features:

1. A cheese room – According to the Guardian, the exclusive ‘H Club’ will allow fans to “select their own specially sourced half-time cheeses.”

2. The Tunnel Club – Said members of the “H Club” will also be able to watch the players in the tunnel prior to kick-off. The players won’t be able to see the fans (or their cheese) though.

3. A microbrewery- The world’s first stadium micro-brewery has a beer delivery system pouring up to 10,000 pints a minute in large part down to the “five-second pint.”
Be prepared to be amazed (you will watch this more than once):

4. An in-house bakery – The new stadium will “produce artisan bread and pastries for every food outlet in the stadium, ranging from general admission areas to boxes.”

5. A retractable pitch – Spurs will play football and football at the stadium 😉 More on that later.

6. Heated seats – Really?

7. Seats with USB ports – Fans in premium seats will be able to charge their phones during the game.

8. The longest bar in the United Kingdom – At almost 87 meters (285 foot) long just how many ‘5 second pints’ do you think they can serve at halftime?

So back to the retractable pitch. Spurs signed a deal with the NFL which means two games a year will be played at the stadium for the next ten years. The retractable pitch allows the pitch to roll in over the NFL football turf. There are even rumors that the Superbowl will one day be played there.

As these stats show, there is a lot to be excited about if you are a Spurs fan:
