How to keep up the spirit as a Spurs fan this year
There are many upcoming matches to get excited about, but as a dedicated fan, chances are that you’re all too familiar with the swing of things. So, how do you mix it up this year?
For many of us, heading to the pub with a group of friends before a match is the ideal day out. There is anticipation in the air, a feeling of excitement and the sense of being part of a community, but when the game ends it often leaves a vacuum. Here’s a few ideas for how you overcome it.
Get yourself a new Spurs kit
Maybe you already have fan t-shirts and gear in abundance, but there are always new kits being launched. Besides, there is also the option to collect memorabilia online and in the shops. This way you could create your very own Spurs room in your house with a historic collection that is bound to impress. Adorn your walls with T-shirts and banners and place framed photos, signed books and special boots on your shelves. No one will ever doubt your commitment to Tottenham Hotspurs again.
Bet on the team you love (it sends a message)
A less direct way of being a Spurs fan is to bet on your teams and players. Sports betting is a fun way of having more skin in the game and if you do it right, you might even make money. The challenge, however, arises when winning means betting against your club. Therefore, some choose to only bet when their team is likely to come out strongest, others immerse themselves completely in the betting world by gambling on various teams and leagues – it’s a fun way to enjoy football.

Join a group for supporters
If you are not already part of a supporter group, or if you are looking to mix things up by joining a new one, then this year is the time to do it. While you find official Spurs Supporter Clubs, there are also plenty of local and online networks to join where you can interact with likeminded people. And if you struggle to find anything in your local area, you can also reach out to your fellow Spurs fans on forums like this one. Here you can discuss the latest matches, arrange social meetups and much more.
Help maintain the club’s green lead
Did you know that Tottenham Hotspurs is one of the most sustainable clubs in the Premier League? Yes, that’s right. And as a fan you can help them maintain the lead by taking public transport to matches, bringing your own glass for pre-match and halftime drinks at the stadium to avoid using plastic and limiting food waste. A nice way to help the football community.
