Gardens Arms - Spurs bar ? on 06:43 - May 22 with 1443 views | WeWereZombies | The article says the Suffolk Spurs Supporters meet at the Gardeners Arms but that doesn't mean it is a Spurs pub. Still, good to see a photo of Steptoe and Son, very much my idea of the typical Spurs fan... [Post edited 22 May 7:01]

I well remember the Gardeners Arms from the late 1970s with discos that people from my 6th form attended. [Post edited 22 May 7:23]

I've never seen a bit of Tottenham memorabilia etc. It is a pure ITFC pub, always will be. And if you don't have links to North London but chose Tottenham. Shame on you, grow some b0llocks and support your local team. |  |

Having worked in the midst of them for thirty years, the typical Spurs fan, rather than seeming entitled, as some has said, is more like old man Steptoe than Harold in that they are always expecting life to let them down. The many of them, whose families long ago moved outside the city boundaries to places like Cheshunt and Hoddesdon, much like Town fans have been fed tales of past glory, but have got used to traveling in hope rather than expectation.

But do they travel in hope on a cart pulled by Hercules ? Edit: On a less sarcastic note, The Gardeners Arms had an upstairs room that hosted the Ipswich Folk Club in the early seventies, the place to be if you wanted to hear Cyril Poacher singing unaccompanied. Unpromising as it sounds it was actually a great evening. [Post edited 23 May 0:22]

Yes, I remember now that the discos were upstairs. As it is, it always struck me that the pub was in a rather isolated location, not that near to much in the way of housing. |  | |  |
