Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

Not any more unfortunately. Now that I live in Canada I can only go to second rate MLS games, and I get to Watch spurs only when I go home. I went to Wembley for 2 games over Xmas. I was a Season ticket holder for over 10 years before I moved country and I used to go up and down the country watching spurs.

I saw the decline in the general singing after standing got taken away. So I do go to games but not as many as I did. But I also go to games in whatever country I go to. I have been to the Nou Camp, Bernabau, Estadio da Luz, Estadio Dragao, Brugge Stadium etc etc so got about a bit as well. As well as tons of stadiums in North America.

I was saying that maybe it is my limited feeling of what is coming through on TV. But it was pretty obvious in the Brighton and Spammers games from what I could hear.
as prices rose so did the average age of the fans, added to that a change from your men to more families and the fact you are not free to move around the stadium so singers could group together this would be my guess for a lower energy crowd.

I went to Nou Camp in a semi against Milan that they won (were down in the first leg) and other than a few songs that they all sang that had no relation to the game being played it was crap. Other than a few games a year most of S American games (incuding the ones I went to) were shocking, one man and their dog. The fallacy of Brazilian fans, they only turn up for big games, MLS has a higher average attendance.

The atmosphere will settle down. There are lots of new fans who have recently got a season ticket. Almost all are up for a sing song, and want a fantastic atmosphere. It is harder in a big stadium to get chants going.

One thing: the club put the Shelf and Paxon songs up in the bars. And they have been sung at every game. There has to be a way to get songs into fans consciousness, and then in time, each area of the stadium will have loud fukers who start songs. But at the moment we are limited to the classic COS, Oh when the Spurs, Yids and Dele songs. It's not a bad lot of songs, but there are more songs, and we should sticky any good new ones on here. Was sad that Eriksen didn't hear his song in the new stadium, while Alli had his sung multiple times a game.

Re first bolded part : not sure what you mean by this?

Re Eriksen- his song was definitely sung when he scored against Everton, and I'm sure it has been before then although maybe not so whole-heartedly.

In addition to the ones you mention there have regularly been Super Tottenham from the Lane; We are the Tottenham; Tottenham Boys; the Rsol songs (unfortunately); Glory Glory, occasionally;
Toby/Jan song; and I'm sure one or two others.
Maybe it's just pockets singing so it's not resonating. I think it needs the South Stand to get anything going around the whole ground.

In some of the bars I think I saw "We're paxon...we're paxton Tottenham" (or shelf side) on the walls. I didn't hear Eriksen's song sadly, good that it was sung. I think that's it, outside the south stand most fans only know the main songs.
 
Not really had to consider this before, but given the recent news on us being given the away dressing room for the CL final, the home and away ends look very similar - how would it work if new WHL was used for a European Cup final - Which team would be given the single tier, if tickets are distributed on a 50/50 (25/25;)) basis?
 
Anyone else had a problem with people near and around them vaping in the stadium? Other than the fact that it stinks I’m sure there will be research that comes out later to show it’s not good for you despite what experts say now. Definitely gonna grass people up next season if they keep doing it. I hate vaping in general but it’s even more annoying when people blow it in your face.
If you reach under your seat you should find the club has provided (for emergencies only) a dose of manning the fudge up.

It's right next to the bandage labelled #snitchesgetstiches

Really wish we would sing
1. more songs for the players
2. Glory Glory song, more like an anthem

Oh, and they stop concentrating on Sol song, so over him in 2001

Premier League clubs 'fail to cash in on stadium rights'

Premier League football clubs are missing out on millions of pounds in stadium naming rights, a report says.

Financial advisors Duff & Phelps say "clubs are not utilising naming rights revenue to their full potential".

Only 30% of top flight teams have a stadium sponsor, compared with more than 80% in American football's NFL.

The six 2018-19 season teams with a stadium sponsor were Bournemouth, Arsenal, Brighton, Huddersfield Town, Leicester City and Emirates Marketing Project.

Of these, the report says that only Bournemouth and Huddersfield have stadium deals that are independent of their shirt sponsor and owner.

Saudi Sportswashing Machine have also previously had a naming rights deal, which lasted just one year.

'Courageous'
The potential value of Premier League stadium sponsorship deals increased by 5% from £135.5m in 2018 to £142.0m in 2019, according to the report.

It estimates the most valuable stadium asset to be Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, worth a potential £26.75m a season to the club.

The current so-called Big Six clubs dominate in terms of value, which is based on things like shirt sponsor and technical partner values, social media followers, TV rights, transfer spending and team performance.

  • Manchester United - £26.75m
  • Emirates Marketing Project - £21.90m
  • Tottenham Hotspur - £17.50m
  • Liverpool - £16.90m
  • Chelsea - £16.75m
  • Arsenal - £16.65m
  • West Ham - £5.55m
  • Saudi Sportswashing Machine - £3.90m
  • Everton - £3.30m
  • Leicester City - £3.20m

The report also suggests that Liverpool have added significant value to the value of Anfield ground in the past year, thanks to their Champions League and Premier League exploits.

"Multimillion-pound Premier League shirt sponsorships have been signed, multimillion-pound sleeve sponsorships are being signed, and it is only a matter of time until multimillion-pound stadium sponsorship follows," says Michael Weaver, managing director at Duff & Phelps.

"Brands just have to be courageous enough to take the first step which will bring the market alive."

'Ticket prices'
But long-term Liverpool fan Joe Blott said any benefits that might come from a rights deal must also be used to benefit fans and not just boost club coffers.

"The Premier League is already awash with sponsorship," he says.

"I understand that clubs might have to look at other sponsor options, but if they did go down that route they should look at the whole club family - not just using money to buy players, but also to drive down ticket prices. "

He added: "I, and many others fans I think, would always continue to refer to grounds as Anfield, Goodison, Old Trafford, even if deals were done."

Dallas deal
In the US, 26 of the 32 teams in the NFL are capitalising on the branding potential of their sporting arenas.

The finance industry is the largest industry sponsor, sponsoring a quarter of named stadiums.

The NFL's most valuable contract is between the Dallas Cowboys and AT&T, which is worth £14.3m per season. The average stadium naming rights agreement is £6m per season.

Meanwhile, European football's most mature naming rights market is in Germany, where 80% of stadiums are sponsored.

By way of contrast, only 17%, or three teams, from Italy's top flight have a stadium naming sponsor.
 
Has the fashion for sponsoring stadia eased back lately? Wham didn't get a sponsor. I guess the NFL games means we are still a more valuable proposition. Not to mention the other thigns like Rugby games.

Hah! What corporation would want their public image attached to that smouldering tire fire of a club? Playing in one of the world's worst stadiums in front of football's most despicable fans.

great way to pitch for business. don't they know that levy knew and thats one of the key reasons why we built a new stadium?
 
Stadium tours will start 15 July. Season ticket holders will have a priority booking window. I think some dates are already available, but more will be added once the fixtures are published next week.
