I don't think they work that well in England, it's not part of our fan culture and will just look like a poor imitation. IMO of course.

Collection jars in pubs? That'll last three seconds in N17.I like tifos,
ours are all completely fan funded, no help from the club whatsoever.
online donations and collection jars at pubs..
If Dortmund handed out plastic flags, modern football haters wouldn't bat an eyelid.
People take being classed as a "proper" fan far too seriously.
Things like looking down on someone for wearing a replica shirt... who gives a shit what someone else wants to do.... but to look down on someone and then give it "yeah, just wear a pin badge me" is laughable.

I like the way they've designed it so that the redness of the empty Club Wembley seats makes the cross - they know they wouldn't have been able to rely on there being anyone in those seats pre-kick off to hold up anything coloured!isnt that just paper cards on seats?
And the chavs fucking rank when the club do it .

Tifo only works with supporters groups and with the Spurs fan base it doesn't really work. I do agree with

Hi everyone,
Just a question. Has 1882 considered using tifos (Borussia Dortmund style art banners) at games? I probably missed this on another thread. Seen it at a few clubs and I quite like it.
Thanks!

No, people aren't willing to chip in for it, we had enough arse ache getting together £300 for the Against Modern Football Banner.
Card displays aren't allowed due to H&S. Apparently if even one piece of card gets on the pitch there's a fine (was told this by a steward - take with pinch of salt)

Someone gets 40 quid in a jar it's going straight to a dealers pocket let's be honest
Spot on.
Never have been part of the UK football culture. Big flags have always been present at Anfield and various Cup Finals but never ever ever tifo or the ilk.
It just looks shamelessly copied from abroad in a desperate attempt to be hip.
You end up looking like the Holmesdale Warriors (or whatever they're calling themselves this week) wearing slick black puffa jackets and moody aviators from Croydon Market

And at no point did it need professionally made flags......
A tin foil fa cup and a bedsheet with "SPURS ARE THE BEST" daubed on it maybe.
Oi... I heard that! That stuff doesn't just 'throw itself' you know!!
Aw, whass the point? I give up sometimes!
We invented it, yet they are better at it than us.
Edit: Actually no, they should introduce all seater stadiums, ban alcohol and charge ridiculous amounts of money, so people can sit in silence and stream the other games on their iPads, while doing a bit of knitting at various different times on Saturdays, Sundays or Monday evenings.
this one cause quite the stir in belgium :
