There was a whole piece about a singing section to improve atmosphere in the last FAB minutes in December so not sure why the club are not interested .
It's up to the fans to create an atmosphere same as at other stadiums does the Liverpool board have to instruct the Kop to make a noise.
Not sure why some people blame the stadium , Naples fans make plenty of noise and that looks a terrible stadium, PSG fans are miles from the pitch behind the goals and they seem to manage.

Yeah it smacks of desperation. A bit like when someone (MOTD?, Blue Peter?*) ran a competition for a Woolwich song for the FA Cup Final because the sad fuckers didn't have one.

Ah, here it is - a combination of Jimmy Hill and ITV in 1971: Good Old Woolwich - Wikipedia

I'm not keen on that drummer or the trumpet.

Think it was for a couple of games and wasn't a success.

Quite like the trumpet idea though he’s not personally that good. Ah, wasn’t sure about the section. I’m not convinced it works anyway. 1882 worked in those games as much as anything because it was a bit more organic - don’t think it’s up to the club to explicitly facilitate it though appreciate it’s harder with 50k season ticket holders.

If only we could persuade Ossie to stand in the middle of the pitch before every cup game doing a rendition of Spurs are on there way to Wembley, should get the crown going . The other thing that might get the crowd in a good mood pre match is for the DJ to play some singalong anthems that people recognize instead of the tuneless , thump thump thump, he or she always plays.

Well that's not completely true. Other than shitty midweek cup games with stupid o'clock KO's. League games are all absolute sell outs.

For now maybe but; they're emailing me about tickets for games on the ticket exchange which suggests people who have bought tickets, or have season tickets for these games, are not going to attend.

This season Levy has finally killed the goose that laid his golden egg in my opinion.

ENIC are killing Spurs.

The trumpet guy always sounds like he hasn't got the lung capacity to play the tune and that he could pass out at any minute..... 😄

From what I can tell the Supporters trust are yes men.
Whenever I see them sat in a room with the board they seem unable to ask the questions that need to be asked.

If they asked the questions that needed to be asked they would be kicked out.

I don’t dislike this fan group or that trust group. The board seem to have no intention of good faith interactions with fans so I don’t see what a fan group or trust will do even with the best will in the world.

The only thing the Trust could do now is break completely with the club and organise protests but I am sure that would split the members.

My suggestion would be to erect stocks in the centre circle and place under performing players, from the previous game, in them for angry supporters to pelt.

Levy could sell tickets and rotten food, eggs, tomatoes etc to those wishing to pelt.

The rest of us could watch and enjoy the spectacle.

Perfect pre-match entertainment.

It's a win win.

Do it post match after a vote and you’ll drive beer sales too!

People who have bought tickets can’t resell them on the exchange so it’s either unsold tickets or ST seats.

I had a look around for Leicester a couple of days ago and there were loads of relisted ST seats, including a lot of 2, 3 and even 4 seats together. Surprisingly there were quite a few green seats too, which I believe are unsold seats.

I think these green seats at this stage are generally returned sponsors/official supporters clubs/players tickets seats. There will also be the occasional seat that the club have agreed to refund to a member due to unforseen circumstance meaning that they can no longer attend. This is discretionary from the club.

Admittedly I haven't tried to get tickets since the 1st couple of sales windows this season, because it was a joke, but I believe all league games still sell out pretty quickly.
 
After yet another disappointing defeat, and no outfield signings despite the squad being down to the barest of bones and pleas for support from the manager, it’s painfully clear that the current situation at Spurs is unacceptable and must be urgently addressed.

The Trust is a democratic organisation which listens to the views of its members. At our AGM we will be discussing views on performance of the current ownership; desired changes or improvements; views on ownership types; cooperation with other fan groups; and Trust engagement with the Club. This will help inform our future approach.

THST full members please attend our AGM in person on Monday 3rd Feb and make your voice count.

Levy must be quaking in his boots at the thought of the looming Trust AGM.
 
Post AGM Statement: Expectations of Club ownership set and fan group support outlined

There is no doubt that the Club’s current performance and position have led many fans to question whether its priorities align with their own.

As a democratic organisation committed to representing the views and interests of our thousands of members, we held a discussion at our AGM last night to gather your thoughts and ensure they shape our campaigning efforts. The Trust consistently takes its strategic direction from its members, relying on both the annual Fan Survey and the AGM to guide our approach.

Supported by our members, we believe that fans have the right to expect key principles from the owners of THFC. To uphold these expectations, we have established principles against which all owners—current and future—should be held to account

Commit to winning: Invest to the level needed to secure league and cup success.

Attract & retain talent: Build a transfer policy and competitive wages to secure top players.

Future-proof success: Develop elite youth talent to strengthen the squad and sustain excellence.

Lead with integrity: Champion ethical standards, strong governance, and financial sustainability—reinvesting in the team while keeping tickets affordable.

Fans first: Engage, consult, and collaborate with supporters and their representatives to build loyalty, passion, and success on and off the pitch.

We will use these principles to shape our campaigning efforts and hold the Club to account.

Additionally, we will engage with the wider football community to advocate for and promote these standards. We will collaborate with other fan groups on these principles and other issues to protect supporters rights and we back the Spurs Charter and the Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign.

Members recognised that holding the ownership to account is an important role of the Trust but emphasised the need for the Board to carefully balance this with the other work representing Spurs fans.

We will keep you informed of progress.
