But they did do that and this is the league we are in. Sowe need to put up or shut up.

The excuses about other clubs having more money to spend doesn’t wash when you charge the highest ticket prices in Europe and your owners invest less of their own money than any other club in the league.
Yeah I get you, Spurs is like dining at a Michelin star restaurant and getting served a Big Mac!

My question is on the failure of the FA to protect the fans from this. Spurs and the Scum have had to put ticket prices up because the likes of Chelsea and Man City have spent 20 years inflating football costs.
 
It would take h
There's an enormous golden cockerel on top the the south stand. There's a golden cockerel just above the tunnel. I don't need to see the words "Tottenham Hotspur" everywhere to know where it is. But even if I did, the concourses are plastered with THFC stuff. Photos of old teams, players, matches, the old stadium, old maps of Tottenham. It's plastered everywhere. From outside It's an instantly recognisable stadium with a unique design. The one thing it is not is generic.

I'm as miffed at Levy as most at the moment but I think this is just scraping the barrel for complaints when the real problem is what's happening on the pitch, and again it's a diversion from what really matters.
It wouldn't take much to take down 2 Cockerells and cover some pictures.
And tbh, I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen at non football events.

Now you're just getting angry about something which doesn't even happen.

Again, it's all a diversion from the fact our on field performances are mediocre, our recruitment is mediocre and the chairman seems to think it's all fine. That's the problem, not that there's not enough trinkets splashed around a stadium.
 
And I also wonder if we are using the same recovery “protocols” as the likes of Liverpool and City etc

And that was without breaking every FFP going, don't get me wrong I would rather have had the success that Cheslea have than be able to say "we are doing it the right way" but you can't deny the fact that Chelsea cheated their way to success , we are not the same as them!
I am only guessing here but I suspect our lack of investment in the team had nothing to do with not wanting to cheat and everything to do with not wanting to spend . Does anyone think an owner with insider trading history and living on a yacht to admittedly legally avoid tax is averse to cheating . IMHO he likes to cheat to save money , Abramovich spent money to cheat allegedly , there is the difference. Both morally bankrupt positions in my view , so I would sooner the cheat with a winning trophy agenda .
 
Stadium is great but it has done nothing for us
That's a different question. It should have done something for us because our revenue is now off the charts. So again, the blame for this lies with the people running the club not the stadium itself.

It is an incredible asset which is doing its part, the fruits of that are being squandered. I am pretty certain though that as mediocre as things are now if we'd remained constrained by 36,000 punters without concerts, NFL and go karts Levy wouldn't have even stretched to the £60odd million for Solanke or the £50odd million for Romero.

Arguing over the stadium is just letting Baldy off the hook.

Good post and spot on

ENIC are the new benchmark in respect of supporter exploitation.

Taking away the senior discount was a dispicable act. This is the demographic that ENIC have overcharged for mediocrity since the greedy cunts arrived.

These seniors have served their purpose to ENIC and are now viwed as dispensible so they can exploit a different demographic for longer, or sell the club to similar cunts who will do likewise or worse.

Levy and ENIC have only cared about the supporters if it helps them to extract more.

Spurs fans my arse.
 
Of Course they are. This is to protect the stadium from rival fans sticking stickers and grafting the walls as much to advertise the event. On top of that the Artist/Event will have to pay extra to dress the stadium.
It's also to be as appealing to as wide an audience as possible.
Daniel Greedy must know that football is tribal, and that certain fans won't come to non football events at a rival teams ground.
Make it as neutral as possible and you widen the audience.
One day they'll drop "Hotspur" from the name and nobody will notice..

ENIC have been cheating the fans for years with promises that the stadium and training ground would be the catalysts for our progress.
And yet here we are, fully functional, and still buying players on the lowest wages as possible, and barely enough of them to make up a half decent 11, let alone a squad.

We have been lied to for a quarter of a century. Now they have what they want, they're going to fuck us, the fans, over.
