Spurs’ new stadium

[JimB]

The boycott of Wembley seemed to fall flat on it's arse last night Jim.

Loads of occasional fans and tourists there last night. A few Dortmund in the home areas too.

Besides, as I said, lots of stayaway fans are being selective. Still going to the really big games.

Point still stands - that the drop in attendances is because of Wembley. No other reason.

Pretty much like the rags who boycott Big Nited (and go to Little Nited's games) .... but only pick and choose the games to be boycotted then? Right on.

Would you say that's apathy and frustration rather than a deliberate boycott Jim?

Don’t believe for one single minute Daniel won’t be offsetting this delay and it’s subsequent costs in the contract.

Not even he would be able to pull off a contract like that

Frustration, yes, but certainly not apathy. There are a lot of fans I know (or know of) who haven't gone / aren't going to any home games at Wembley this season. There are others who are only sufficiently pissed off that they are avoiding all but the biggest games. Whatever name anyone wants to put to it is immaterial, though. What matters is why it is happening and whether it is, as claimed by some on here, evidence of insufficient demand for Spurs tickets in any circumstance.

I would bet my bottom dollar that he will try.

How does that work with a long term season ticket holder, have they bought and just decided not to go and basically given money to the club for nothing ? or are they selling them on until the new stadium is available ? Can the club track those not going, and if so how will it affect them in the new stadium ? Will some just say bollocks to it all, and not go back ?

Genuine question by the way, we've lost lots of match going fans since we moved, and for all sorts of reasons, like the increasing expense (though mine is now cheaper than before we moved, as I relocated when we expanded), not liking the "new" stadium, its "atmosphere", or the "new" fans etc.

Can't wait to listen to their shiny new religious/anti religious fans abuse us in their new stadium. Should be fun on away days as usual. Tbh looks like it's gonna be ace.

Trying really hard to give a shit but the way they have fucked away fans about this season if the lose home support should any of us give a shit? You can be too clever in the end for your own good.

I can’t see Spurs struggling to fill the new stadium to begin with but it might be a different story if they continue with the policy of minimal player investment combined with winning fuck all.
