Well put.
I wonder how long we’d survive if our mums and dads were simply fans of ours, instead of supporters.

Probably spend around £200-£300 per year.
Saw one of my nephews today who's 4 or 5. A few years back I got him a soft Spurs ball even though his Dad (my brother) is a Middlesbrough fan.
He turned up with this ball at our Dads earlier telling me I got him it when he was a baby.
When I asked who's the team, he said "Tottenham". When I asked are they good, he said "the best!"
He could live to see Spurs play in the year 2100. I sincerely hope he gets to see more than the 2 League Cups & 1 FA Cup I have seen.
"My god, What have I done ?"

A song from Admin.....
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Bit harsh considering some of the shit we have seen on here over the years.

Regardless of if anyone here will agree or disagree with the sentiment,
"Fan" and "Supporter" is completely the wrong way around in the whole of this post.

That’s quite a sweet post! Reminds me of the guilt I feel as my more recent extended family turn up in Spurs clothing.Probably spend around £200-£300 per year.

Sold all but four of my replica shirts (mostly unworn) to a local fella. Let him have them for a steal really.
Kept the 81 home, 78 away, the 125 and one the kids got me for my 60th.
Gave away all the biographies except the Stevie P one but kept the more general books like, the Spurs Shirt, Destination Tottenham, Glory Glory nights etc etc.
Got about 40 DVDs that I will probably give away/sell dirt cheap at some time.
Got a few signed programmes from the Div 2 season which I wouldn't sell but quite a few that will I get rid of when I get around to it.
Just found the receipt by chance for my last shirt: 2014 (well, I have a CL away shirt from 2017-18). No wonder it’s no longer white and smells a bit sweaty: can’t afford a new one, tho (or fit into it due to their insistence on making them ‘athletic’ fit).
Stopped buying the crap years ago.
I want a levy dartboard.
Depends on how good the kit and training kit is in any given year. I'd say I had my head turned more by Under Armour than the recent Nike stuff.
Last season was probably my 'lowest' amount. Got an elite home shirt with Bale on the back because... well. None of the training gear was very good, and zero trips to the ground made getting anything else that much less likely.

That's the sort of thing that happens to me
. That's why I won't have a name on the back of my shirt (except Mr P of course).
Usually around a £100 or so on shirts. Its sporadic, generally linked to how much alcohol I consume when we're playing well and I'm excited about Spurs. To that end, I've spent precisely £0.00 in 2021. I spent some on masks and a couple shirts in 2020, but since Jose was hired my desire to drop coin on the badge significantly decreased.
I don't get the impetus to stop buying merch really. I don't know that it does much to help get rid of Levy. Surely ENIC won't sell an artificially devalued asset, nor does failing profitability help market us to potential buyers?
Maybe next time we set a club record fee buying a quality player we should all rush out and buy a shirt with their name/number. Motivate Levy by profit to buy good fucking players.
