For the Tottenham Hotspur players involved in last Friday's 2-1 Premier League 2 defeat to Manchester City, the occasion was one of the last of its kind. Those involved will be among the final youth-team players to get a showcase at this version of White Hart Lane.
This generation of prospects and those to come over the next few years will probably not mind too much. Their allotted under-23 and FA Youth Cup games may take place at temporary venue Wembley Stadium from next season (though that part of the arrangement has not been confirmed), and beyond that at the brand-spanking-new ground being developed in N17 right now.
