Would there be any reason for it that doesn't come across as being fucking greedy and short sighted?
No reason at all. It is greedy and short sighted.
Good questions.
Cheers for that. I’d imagine no club would want to have too many beige wearing old folk or too many kids at the ground, so would just have a percentage of tickets for each.
On the same episode of TFC (well worth a listen) reps from the supporters trust said the fanbase (not just at Spurs but in the whole PL?) is aging. Young people prefer to sit at home and stream, it seems. This was in the context of rising prices and attracting the next generation of supporters.
True of the whole sports industry globally.
Yes, I did.
Was it well attended?
There were a lot of people there, however, I think most were just looking at the protest rather than being part of it.
Jassim's not going to do that Carl because he's putting most of his funds into bringing back Unigate.
It’s a good start, and could generate short term spending on the first team and will likely result in a full purchase at some point. I’ve thought for a while that a minority sale is the right and most likely next step, let’s hope they don’t trouser the full 15% and instead use it to create a better side and in turn grow the value of the club (and 85% becomes 85% of a bigger amount)
