Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I don't care about anyone's wages, I was applauding how well Spurs fans were doing on it. When I looked earlier the next highest total was around £24k I think which was the Man City fans donations.
I haven't got Sky and have no intention of paying for any PPV games, even if I can afford it. I vehemently disagree with the principle of having to pay in addition to the exorbitant monthly charge for individual events. When I was married and had Sky sports, I remember the first time they put forward a PPV event, think it was a boxing match. I thought at the time that if people just refused to pay, then they wouldn't do it again, just common sense. But obviously, enough people took it up, because they continued to put stuff on PPV. I agree that Premier League prices are ridiculously high for younger people, when I first started going, standing for juniors was the equivalent of about 17.5p. We're never going to go back to that, even if they introduce safe standing.It’s slightly laughable that this is what has taken people to wake up. I would have thought £60+ tickets with very little atmosphere and controlled fandom would have hit home first?
ive said it before in another thread, but there are far too many comments with the content being ‘ I can afford it’. This is why our average age is about 55 for our matches.
Seriously, to those who have been watching 30/40 years, and I’m talking about theMrs Perryman etc, you talk about how much you loved going when younger; could you possibly have afforded to go if comparable prices were charged then compared to now?
we have lost what football is about. We have some time honoured tradition at spurs that it’s OK to pay the prices, as others ‘can afford it too’ Have a look at TBWAH etc, many lads over the age, of what, 25? Nah.
There are some golden oldies that hark back to the days, but do little to assist the younger gen getting involved now.
we’ve sold our soul to the global market (thanks to English passionate fans/hoolie presence), and yet we still pay obscene prices even just to watch a game on the box , even before the PPV.
One way to stop this ludicrous money was for fans to stop going to games, as that is what makes a game exciting And therefore interesting to see what happens without the fans.
Covid now gives us a chance of setting parameters of what we really want. And just because you can pay for it , does not mean you should.
have a think before you press that affirmative button
What’s Harry’s wages got to do with it?
Now I've read the whole thread, I'll definitely support the donation to charity, and I urge everyone to do the same. We can make a real statement of intent here. Even if you can only afford a pound, the number of donors will be just as important as the amount raised.
Yeah sorry crass comment a great gesture by our fans
This is excellent work. Loads of donations referencing

Up in the north Boris would have you executed.
Don't give money to charities: charities are corrupt and incompetent.
Instead, buy good quality food (not tinned food that you wouldn't give to your dog) and give it direct to the homeless.

You just know if it goes well, then the games that come with your sky package will become the less desirable games and the PPV will become the big game & derbys to almost force your hand.
Last time I offered to buy a homeless guy some lunch they said "no thanks.... can I have the cash for the booze instead?"
just over £73,000 now, well done everybody, spread the word, would be fantastic if we can get to the target of £100,000 by the end of the week.
Like those shit nike shirts for 70 quid that have the feel of a bin bag so you buy the 100 one instead. Cunts.
Wheres the link for the charity? im all for it.
