Born in Kingsbury in the early 70s but grew up in Wembley and lived there till around 8 years ago. ( Thelonious Thelonious we might have been neighbours).

Was quite a few spurs fans at junior school, although mostly Liverpool I seem to remember. Went to secondary school in Burnt Oak/Graham Park and there were a hell of a lot of spurs in those areas.

Now live outside Stevenage and there is quite a few Spurs around here.

Small world! I don’t remember there being many Spurs fans growing up in wembley either.
 
Live in the Epping forest area of Essex and it’s very evenly split between us, Woolwich and West Ham. I’d say the other 2 probably slightly outnumber us but we’re very well represented

So you’ve moved to my neck of the woods.

Loads in Stevenage. Even split with Woolwich I would guess.
 
I grew up in Edmonton and moved to Coventry about 18 years ago. Tottenham fans are like rocking horse shit up here.

I'm always surprised when I see one.

I would agree with that, although I'd say it's more a 70/30 split in our favour as far as the younger supporter is concerned. My kids primary school has a huge Spurs following.

That’s good.
Most of the kids I have coached usually have a decent split. They are mainly secondary school now or older now.

Imagine that with Woolwich doing so badly recently plenty of new little yiddo’s and less United and Woolwich fans in that primary school and younger age group.

Sure with the new stadium be even more kids who want to come and see Spurs play as well.
 
I see a lot of Spurs shirts in Norwich maybe more than any other team besides the canarys
In coastal Suffolk there is a large fan base , certainly equal to Arse if not more and double the Chavs .
 
Spurs have a decent following in the coastal north of Sweden. Particularly in factory towns and amongst the generations born in the late 60s-mid 70s.

You're not gonna get a bunch of people walking around in Spurs tops but if you start asking around about what English team they watch/used to watch it is either us, United or the Dippers. Chavs and such are more common among my generation and below

I used to live in Bury, we never went out Ixworth way, if they found out you weren't a local they'd lock you in one of their barns and start a breeding programme from you.
It was always having the right number of fingers and thumbs that gave it away.

Haha, local pubs for local people. I'm in Bury quite often. Did you ever visit The Nutshell? Would have been the smallest pub in England at the time.
 
Big shout out to Talksport, Twitter, the FA, Sky Sports and the BBC...

All wonderful places overspilling with pro Spurs sentiment.

Love ya! :dierpochhug:
 
Great thread topic. I’ve entertained the idea of writing a book on London football for some time now (pipe dream perhaps...). However Steve Tongue ‘Turf Wars’ beat me to it.

If I can find it I’ll post a link to a colour coded map highlighting areas of support in London. Quite interesting..(if a little bit anorak-y).

Anyway. I’m south London born and bred - Dulwich, Forest Hill, Norwood, Croydon and Wimbledon - and us Yids are a rare breed. I suppose it’s having a common interest that brings people together and I’ve got a fair few south of the border Spurs mates - including the ‘London Bridge Spurs’.

Where I grew up it was mostly Palace/Millwall/Chelsea/Woolwich..(the latter obvs as it was south London).

An ex of mine lived in Enfield and that was great for watching in the pub and spotting shirts in the street etc. Staunch

My missus lives in SW London and there’s a fair few dotted about down there. Her family are from Hackney and mostly all Spurs.

Until recently I’ve played vets football in the Middlesex league (Kew/Chiswick). Plenty of Spurs in my team and amongst the opposition.
