Wembley Stadium is owned by the governing body of English football, the Football Association (the FA), through its
White Hart Lane centre. Tottenham became firmly established as one of England's biggest clubs that attracted some of the highest attendances in the country on a regular basis. Attendance at White Hart Lane averaged at over 53,000 in 1961, their double winning year. Between the late 1920s and 1972, White Hart Lane was one of very few British football grounds that featured no advertising hoardings at all. 1953 saw the introduction of floodlights with their first use being a friendly against Racing Club de Paris in September of that year. They were upgraded in 1957, and in 1961, floodlight pylons were installed. These
