<p>A sensible decision by NFL. We do though need to know who in Haringey Clowncil was responsible for proposing this stupid, reckless, and dangerous scheme. Elected councillors should be stewards of our parks and land and buildings. Not falling over one another to sell or rent them off to rich corporations.</p>

<blockquote><p>UPDATE AND GOOD NEWS - and a big thank you for all your support.</p>
<p>This afternoon it has been announced that Bruce Castle Park will no longer be considered to be the proposed venue for the forthcoming NFL Tailgates in October.</p>
<p>These will now go ahead in the new stadium instead.</p>
<p>Here is their statement:<br/> “The NFL has decided not to pursue the idea of a pregame Tailgate at Bruce Castle Park when it stages its first two games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 6 and 13.</p>
<p>We believe that adding a second location into an event where the majority of fans will be visiting a new venue for the first time could create additional issues relating to way-finding and getting fans to the stadium from the major transport hubs.</p>
<p>Our focus, therefore, will be to create a fantastic stadium experience for our fans at the 2019 games and to re-evaluate Tailgate for future years based on our learnings from this year. We appreciate the time and effort of many people that has gone into helping us explore the option of Tailgate at Bruce Castle Park.”</p>
<p>Thank you all once again. And enjoy the long Bank Holiday weekend and the sun in beautiful historical Bruce Castle Park</p>
