Is anyone actually bothered

My passion for Tottenham has been in strong decline for sometime now. Is anyone else feeling this also? I actually don’t care if they win or lose these days. I don’t care when the owners don’t care about the club. The only thing I miss is sitting with folks week in weeks out in the stands but even now that’s just not the case.

Am I losing it? Or are spurs losing it ?

Both for me, happily switch off when its crap, been twice this season which is an all time low. Dislike alot about us TBH
 
The stands are full of people who are there ok a day out rather than actually trying to get the lads to kick on. Like I’ve said a few time I have been asked to keep my voice down.

On top of that I just don’t buy out snakey owners. Just feel like I’m lining the pockets of others when I could spend my hard earned cash down at peppa pig world with my little ones.

That sucks. Earlier this season a steward had a word with me cause I was shouting quite a lot that the ref was a c-word… a part of me died, since when can you not swear at a football match.

Had hoped I was a one-off misunderstanding, but heard a few people say they’ve been spoken to (or had other fans) say similar.

Still get hyped for matches, excited when we string a few passes together etc but I used to love the rough and ready atmosphere of the South Stand, the camaraderie, all in in together (and even the crush at the concrete hole to get a warm beer), so that soul of the club has gone for me. Fans / the stadium has just changed.
 
I generally just feel a bit more detached from it. It’s not that important to me anymore. Which is quite nice, actually. If we lose I have already moved on within a minute or two.

Fine with me, really, but I do miss the emotions sometimes, makes it more engaging.
 
Yes I am bothered., very bothered. Absolutely bothered. This club is part of the fabric of my life and the thought that we might be relegated now (which actually happened in my first year of going to games) is just beyond my comprehension. I don’t think we will be relegated but I hate that we are in a position where it might even happen. I also hate all the negativity around us right now. It’s just all hugely depressing but yes I am bothered and the day I am not bothered about what happens with our club is the day I throw in the towel.
 
My enthusiasm has dimmed but my love and passion for the club hasn’t. I don’t like the owners, I’m struggling to like the team and manager but it’s our club.

I’ve missed a fair few games this season for personal reasons but took the day off to come today and will be up at 4am tomorrow to get a flight back. Not because I’m some super fan or anything but because I’ve missed games, they’re my club and this is the time fans should be supporting them the most.

Said it to the lad beside me at half time v City, “I’ll be at Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Arsenal, not because I want to be but because I feel I should be.”

Christ, this is some sort of mental illness.
 
Admittedly, I'm having different sensations than say a decade ago under Poch. I'm intrigued more than engerised if that makes sense. It's almost like my mind is having to shift from the pure football topic to all the peripherals that go with the game itself. The manager status, the refereeing including the VAR nonsense, the stupid pundits and commentators. None of that stuff is what I really sign up for. I want to shift back to talking about football again if I'm honest.

I gave you a like for that post but it could equally have been a laugh. We’re all hooked in for the ride.
 
Not disputing the fact of investment emotionally or otherwise but the apathy I have of concerning for me.

I have two little children that have not gone to a match … something I looked forward to when I was younger, but sometimes I think why bother? Why put them through an empty brick pot that just serves the owners

My son is 4 and I'm debating whether to saddle him with the burden of being a Spurs fan

This is pretty much where I am, feeling very disconnected but I’ll always be here and it’s our club that I’ll stick by through the good times and the bad.
