Tottenham Hotspur have made plans for a trophy parade in North London later this week if they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao, Alasdair Gold has now confirmed.
All eyes firmly shift to Bilbao as the Lilywhites look to break their 17-year trophy drought and secure a European trophy for just the fourth time in their 143-year history.
According to reports, 15,000 Spurs fans are expected to travel to Bilbao without tickets compared to just 2000 Man United fans, which shows just how big the occasion is for the North London club.
However, that is not to say that the game is not crucial for the Red Devils too, with Champions League qualification on the line, and Bruno Fernandes has already fired a warning shot at Tottenham ahead of the final.
Trophy parade planned by Tottenham on Friday
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now revealed that an open-top bus trophy parade has been planned in North London on Friday if Ange Postecoglou’s men are able to get their hands on the trophy.
He explains that local residents, schools and businesses have been made aware that the plans would kick into place should Spurs win on Wednesday evening in Bilbao.
The open-top bus victory parade would begin at Edmonton Green and head down the High Road before ending at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

While some Spurs fans may feel that the club are tempting fate by making these sorts of plans, Gold points out that the parade has to be planned in advance, with the relevant authorities needing to be informed for it to go ahead.
Will Spurs fans dare to dream of Europa League success?
Spurs fans have been burned time and again over the last couple of decades, with their side falling at the final hurdle one too many times.
That is why not too many of them are daring to dream at the moment, as it has almost become second nature for Tottenham fans to prepare for the worst when the side is on the cusp of achieving something special.
However, those moments of heartbreak and pain in the club’s recent history will make it even sweeter should Postecoglou’s men get the job done against Man United.
