GROUND HISTORY
adapted from "The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds"
Originally known as the High Road Ground, the site of an old nursery, Tottenham Hotspur moved here in 1899. The only facility was a stand brought from their previous ground and re-erected to provide cover for some 2,500 spectators. By 1901 a new 500 seat main stand had been constructed and the terraces expanded to give a nominal capacity of 30,000 and within eight years a 5,300 seat structure had been opened on the west side.
Following the end of WWI the name of the ground was changed to White Hart Lane and in the early 1920s covers were installed at both ends. In 1934 a new 5,100 seat two tier stand was constructed over the terracing on the east side (requiring the demolition of a row of houses at the rear) and the record attendance of 75,038 was subsequently set at the FA Cup 6th Round tie v. Sunderland (0-1) on March 5th, 1938.
The ground did not see any further alterations until the 1960s when seats were installed at the rear of the terraces at the north and south ends and stands constructed in the northwest and south west corners. A new all-seat stand opened on the west side in 1982 and the stand on the east side was re-roofed and refurbished in 1989. The stadium was made an all-seater in the 1990s with the provision of refurbished and new stands at the ends giving a capacity of 36,257 at the start of the 2007/8 season. The pitch size was 110 x 73 yards.
