Really surprised this didn't sell out day 2, I expect a significant drop off this season but I thought first game of the season and it being spurs with the Kane saga would make it very popular. Perhaps it is and the next few aways after it will drop even lower.
The pandemic has hit so many people hard,there's a lot of people sick, lots of people with fears and apprehension, lots of people with financial constraints, lots of people with new higher priorities and lots of people that have just broken the habit and see no reason to go back, at least not right now.
I think there's going to be a lot of head scratching in a few months when the Premier league and club suits expecting demand to return to pre-covid levels so they can milk us for all we've got doesn't happen. They really should have used this 18 month break to make significant changes that look after the loyal match going fanbase instead of waiting for the whales to return for milking and to be treated like shit.
I was an every single game possible fan pre-covid, I'd make sacrifices everywhere in my life so that I could go to city, I don't feel like that anymore. I'm doing spurs but I'm doing mainly to get my fix of a proper capacity crowd away day before the inevitable bullshit rules and/or bans come into play again, once I've got that ticked off I think I'll be dropping it for the majority of the season too.
