I've Been To Todays ENIC Out Demo

So as I promised myself, earlier today I made the trip down to White Hart Lane (sorry, The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as yet still no sponsor) to attend the ENIC Out protest demonstration. I got there shortly after the advertised starting time due to the traffic on the A10, no surprise there.

Zack Steffen ,Man City's keeper on the day, almost had to put his novel down to deal with it. As a supporter, those are the moments you can real
