Don't know about being lucky, but red is indeed very popular in Asia, with deep cultural significance. The commie bastards...I've read that in Asia, the EPL eams that play in red are more popular because they colour red is seen as lucky
Probably the largest support that actually go to games. We're 20 on my flight out to Rome last weekin my country there is a pretty big Spurs fanbase tbh

Skepta loves Tottenham as in the area. Not just the football club. Loads of 'Grime Artists' are from Tottenham love the area, but support Woolwich.
Beijing Hotspurs F.C.!why don't we go the whole hog and relocate to beijing?
I frequent the pub with about 4 other Spurs fans, two of us got into it because of :brad: and got hooked. The other two primarily because they hate bandwagoners and chose the team most likely to enter into an era of dominance....basically you gotta target the non-cunts.
Where you from man? Keep spreading the good word!
There are about 15-20 hardcore Spurs fans in Saint Louis that I know of based on watching games in a little pub on the South Side. One of 'em is over for the Liverpool game today, hope he gets another good result as he was at the Spammers match on Sunday as well. Lucky bastard.
We're better than the other American fans of Premier League teams and I speak based on years of personal experience. You should have SEEN the sad gooner bastards in Baltimore and the ones I've met occasionally in Saint Louis. I'm positive they were all born next to a nuclear reactor. To be fair there are some decent fans of other teams over here but the majority are bandwagon jumpers. All the Tottenham supporters I've met around the US fell in love with Spurs for the right reasons and are genuinely decent people. Literally to a woman/man, good people.
Would we rather have a billion bandwagon fans or a million good ones? Is it just about replica shirt sales? I'm sure ENIC are happy I've bought some products of theirs down the years, but we are not Manchester United or Chelsea. Despite the lack of trophies I'm rather proud of this and it definitely had a part to play in me starting to follow Spurs back in 2004.
hi man , where are you from ?Probably the largest support that actually go to games. We're 20 on my flight out to Rome last week
Tell me more.
I'm in Ottawa myself and I know that here there are a few Spurs fans around. I've been meaning to get around to one of the Ottawa Spurs events, just haven't been too sure of where they are, thanks for the link! Hopefully get a couple supporters out to the bar this afternoon for LiverpoolTo be honest, I only signed up for Spurs Canada this year, since I just discovered it. But from what there website can tell (still waiting for membership card and stuff) there are six official chapters in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver and Aurora. Basically there are chapters in major cities from Quebec out west. Nothing where I am though. I'm just finally happy that I stumbled across this supporters club and hopefully it lets me get in touch with people in my region of the country. Instead of lonely, early mornings in front of my computer or tv.
This is the link to their website: http://spurscanada.ca/coys/

But yea, NBC buying the EPL broadcasting rights was a massive surprise. I still think NBC are cunts, but they'll bring greater visibility to the sport in the US. European football will always be a niche following though I think. It's going to be difficult to convince droves of Americans to get up on their days off over the weekend, at 7 in the morning or so, god forbid you live on the West Coast.
