The boycott of Wembley seemed to fall flat on it's arse last night Jim.
Besides, as I said, lots of stayaway fans are being selective. Still going to the really big games.
Loads of occasional fans and tourists there last night. A few Dortmund in the home areas too.

Point still stands - that the drop in attendances is because of Wembley. No other reason.
Not even he would be able to pull off a contract like thatDon’t believe for one single minute Daniel won’t be offsetting this delay and it’s subsequent costs in the contract.
Would you say that's apathy and frustration rather than a deliberate boycott Jim?
I would bet my bottom dollar that he will try.Not even he would be able to pull off a contract like that

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 ?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.

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.
I can see a lot of 'selective boycotting' once the novelty of the new stadium wears off.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.

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 take it from that, that until you actually open the stadium, even if you paid for a season ticked, its not compulsory to attend wembley ?Season ticket holders are given first option on the seats they had last season at Wembley. If they don't take up the option, the seats are released for sale. Season tickets entitle holders to 19 home PL games so each ticket option not taken up for Wembley sees 1/19 of the season ticket price repaid.
IIRC Jim a few clubs’ games were last minute rearranged, because of the fuck up by Spuds with the City game, which adversely affected fansThe only away fans who were fucked about were City fans.
must admit, your new ground looks fantastic, cant wait to see the blues take 3 points off you there :)Season ticket holders are given first option on the seats they had last season at Wembley.

Not a great deal for season ticket holders, to be honest, since prices at the new stadium are up to 50% higher (my ticket behind the goal at the single tier end, for instance, is £1200 for only 19 games while the most expensive normal tickets are in excess of £2000 - more expensive than Arsenal pro rata because they get quite a few cup games included). Fans are not happy to be paying such prices for the comparatively crap views and the soulless overall experience at Wembley.
The main advantage to our Wembley sojourn is that we shouldn't experience such severe problems as those suffered by other clubs that have moved to a new stadium - greatly aided by the fact that our new stadium will be near enough in the exact same place as the old one. Instead of moving into a vastly bigger, more soulless stadium, we'll be moving into a smaller, far more intimate stadium that feels like home.
