Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

For those that advocate converting the lower north to standing that would mean no pitch side tickets at junior prices and your average 5/6 year probably wouldn't be able to see unless they were in the very front row of a standing area . Pitchside junior tickets are only available in blocks 113, 112, 111, 110 ,109 and 108 , yes they could go in lower east or west but would have to pay full adult price. As shown last night nothing wrong with the atmosphere if you have a winning team.

Exactly and its not even always about winning (although that will help) but effort.
When we got hammered under Ange with 9 players, people were fine with it and i was there)

Fans are annoyed because they can play like they have just been introduced to the sport. It's an expensive day to not see your team try and score a goal.
I was tinkled off at the weekend and I was at home. (Although when I have been at the ground have never booed)

- Look into inserting an all-standing singing section next to the away fans section, possibly with concessions for under 35s.




- I'd also look at making the seats less spacious! How much extra capacity would be added with an extra seat per row? Obviously not one for now, but when seats need replacing. Having a more tight knit fanbase is preferable, would help with the atmosphere imo, and increase capacity.

On the first point ever since the stadium opened block 113 next to the away fans although not a standing area has only been available to members in the members sale , there are no ST's in that block and junior adult tickets are available.

On the second point reducing standing/seats space would be impossible without Government legislation , I doubt very much that trying to increase atmosphere would be a convincing argument to make them change anything. Also seems the Government can't get the official stadium name right , shown as WHL on these pages , match was 15th May 2022.

The announcement was made by Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston at Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane stadium, after he joined fans in the club’s 10,000-strong safe standing area to watch the North London club win 1-0 against Burnley on 15 May.

Tell you what would help, dampen the sound coming from the away section.
They appear make more noise than us.

I don't know, sometimes that's good as it gees us up to respond etc.

I must say, i enjoyed the banter with the Copenhagen fans yesterday (apart from the odd plastic bottle thrown) they were very loud, possibly the loudest i've heard an away section

For the club, I'd do this shorter-term:

- Work with fan groups to get a singing section in the South Stand. There is a bank of expensive seats in the middle isn't there, but that shouldn't stop the rest of the stand being a wall of sound - that was the vision!!!

- See if they can lower the lighting in the stands during the two halfs. Would make it more intimate and improve the atmosphere possibly. What do you think?

- Look into inserting an all-standing singing section next to the away fans section, possibly with concessions for under 35s.

- As part of the Spurs App and Auto-Emails, ticketing process, publish the new approved songs as fans are setting off for a game - a few hours before. Hype people up in-app, online pre-game with videos, and a togetherness to shove it to...team of the day. Light the touch paper.


Longer term:

- Review the more expensive seats in the South, and try to get higher paying hardcore fans in them. Market them as singing intense seats, and people will pay and sing!

- I'd also look at making the seats less spacious! How much extra capacity would be added with an extra seat per row? Obviously not one for now, but when seats need replacing. Having a more tight knit fanbase is preferable, would help with the atmosphere imo, and increase capacity.


Just a starter to raise some debate. The Club CAN lead and shold work with fans groups to improve the experience, and make going to a Spurs game a pilgrimage. A right of passage, and leave fans feeling part of something sensational that they and the club have created.

I would 100% have a pre sale of the South which gives people a week before general release to move their ST to a section of the stand for singing.

The rest is up to the fans and the team, in any order
 
I think the more appropriate question might be have we got the worst attack in the country. Football fans are so hyperbolic. Do we have the worst fans, do we have the best chairman. And yes I see the irony in my first statement.
