Stadium New Stadium

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I remember the first game under Nuno after Covid there was incredible atmosphere that day. The atmosphere can be incredible but when the crowd atmosphere is flat we are really flat so I see the stadium as a double edged sword.
The club don’t take it seriously enough. It’s a massive factor in home performances (and every PL place is worth an extra £3M)!

Think back to our last season at the old place, was generally electric - granted the team were class but still a factor
 
One big plus of Sonny going (when he eventually does) is hopefully we have a drop off in that part of the "fanbase". It's a tourist "I love Sonny" thing that in my curmedgeonly view, does fuck all for the atmosphere I enjoy. Oh, and he's well past it.
Sad but true. I don't want to diminish his contribution, he has been a star for us, but time waits for no man, and I don't want him to become someone who outstays his welcome.
So many reasons to win the EL -
1. We win silverware and can celebrate at long last
2. It gets that 'no trophy' monkey off our backs
3. It'll mean that we get rid of Ange with both parties feeling ok about it
4. CL qualification should enable us to hire a decent replacement
5. The likes of Ben and Sonny getting a just reward for their service
6. We can assign our poor league campaign to the dustbin and just forget how bad it actually is.
 
No Exchange last night, just Share for Gold ST holders to transfer their tickets to family or friends.

The £25 membership is only an end of season thing and there is a cutoff date of at least a day before ticket sales begin for a match to prevent away fans from buying tickets, which I assume also applies to the Exchange, so I don't think that's an issue.

As far as limiting tourists and neutrals, as long as they are members then nothing can be done about it. If they are not members and are buying from touts then sure, it should be stopped, but how?

Maybe rolling QR codes will help; at least it will prevent the use of screenshots. At the moment it appears to have only been rolled out to some ST holders (mine included, but not a mate's) and not to members. Some will be in for a shock if it's applied to all ST holders and members next season, which I hope it will be.
It’s not an end of season thing, it’s been that price since around Xmas at least

I’m sure it somehow means tickets go to PL customers and kill the atmosphere
 
Even though I criticise our fans quite a bit for atmosphere, we have the ability to create special atmospheres. We did that the other night, Perhaps us, Liverpool, and Leeds can do that in England. I certainly don't find the "Leeds of the South" as an insult.
 
Stadium itself isn’t the issue it’s the shite that has been served up in it since we moved in. The stadium is amazing and is loud when there is something to be loud about.

We dine at the Ritz paying large money only to be served egg and chips. Make the egg and chips a fine meal and it will rock.
Egg and chips would be a 5 star gourmet meal compared to the shit sandwiches we've largely served up at this stadium since moving in
