Ahem, there are some of us 'Dads and kids ' that attend, that also get behind the team and love the 1882 movement and what it stands for!!!. My boy is 9 and when I say we are off to Spurs his first question is usually is it an 1882 match! He turned to me during the Brighton game ( were on Block 30 of the shelf ) and said the bloke next to him was a ' melt ' as all he was doing was moaning..........

Could be doable if it is 1882, I am only doing 1882 games from now on.
I have noticed another plus from 1882 games, I can sing like Rod Stewart the day after.

I usually take my pal's 11 year old boy to 1882's.
Took him to WHL for a PL game against Stoke and he wondered where all the noise was.
Explained to him about 1882 / home atmosphere's for PL games.
He now only wants to go when it's an 1882 game.
I'll get the can opener... you bring the worms!!
I think our own Club's obsession with 'breaking 'Murrica' and The Premiership's obsession with making us a Global Brand and a stop on the Tourist trail are two contributory factors in what you're talking about...
also, I'd wager that most (if not all) of the fans in attendance at WHL on a matchday haven't walked directly from their home to the ground, and I'm sure a large amount would have travelled more than 5-10 miles away speaks volumes!
and despite the 5 minute montage they occasionally put up on the Jumbotron at half-time about the latest community project that Ledley's been to,there's no real local community spirit about the club any more...
I'm not saying that we insist Lamela gets on the 123 bus to the ground from Walthamstow, sitting alongside the fans, but you know what I mean!

I think you are over analysing it here mate. It was fun, so I will do it again, end of story. I am not trying to save football from the 21st Century.
My Zenith hath been achieved... Block 34, (bang in the middle) Row 18 Seat 82!!
Ah, now they know where to find me to clear up the mess... but believe me, if I was allowed to bring a broom in to sweep up afterwards, I would...!!! But the THFC rules specifically say; Rule 66, Sub-clause 6: "no sticks (broom or flagpoles) allowed" unfortunately... awwwwwwwww, shame!

This could well be the perfect storm...
A (relatively) high profile fixture...
Premier League opposition...
REVENGE DUE!
Let's show them all at the club what fucking support is... then maybe Levy will finally realise that it's not all about Dads and Kids in the Paxton shelling out £100+ on a matchday... it's also about the HARTBEAT(sic.) of the club... the long standing, die-hard fans who just want to sing and support... support and sing in equal measure... not berate a Youth player for a wayward pass, or heckle a £100k+ a week striker just 'cos of a team he used to play for!!
We can actually prove we do have decent, fanatical support... and not having to resort to taking our shirts off in December (hello Newcastle fans) to prove it!

1882's Christmas party, bring the vodka and the charlie.
I'm going to damn well make sure I can come to this one, it's been too long.

ochbye:99% of those with a season ticket on the Park Lane would have had it for a very long time. Most people DON'T give them up. They were probably in their seats for the most atmospheric games you've been too, when we beat Arse 5-1 - it was the best atmosphere I've ever seen at White Hart Lane - they would have been their. They don't get annoyed at people singing. There's an opportunity at the start of every season for them to swop to the Paxton, I doubt they're all choosing for the atmosphere to go completely flat instead of moving over there.
In my opinion the worst part of the South Stand is when away fans don't sell out and we get stragglers in 35. Kids & wifes who sit down as soon as a steward walks by. These are the people who get annoyed if you're on a chair singing...
Lets not put the rose tinters on too much, I have been at more games than i care to remember during the 90's where the crowd was booing and jeering players during the game and arguements used to start constantly during the Gross, Francis and later part of George Graham's tenure, i also remember the lane having a posionous atmosphere during the Venables and Sugar era and i cant forget the racist little fucker at peterborough away in the FA cup who was calling Ardlies all kinds of names.......the 90s, apart from the 91 cup run was a miserable time to be a Spurs fan, only the 99 league cup final stopped it being any worse.....
The spursy thing to do would be to hammer Chelsea and then lose to Sheffield United on penalties in the final

The 1882 do a cracking job for the cup games but wouldn't it be great to get that sort of atmosphere back in the league at home , At Villa on Sunday we was very loud but it seems at home no one wants to sing for some reason, QPR at home was good but apart from that I can't really remember us singing all game ? Around the Redknapp time our fans we're one of the loudest in the league I would love us to get back to that atmosphere
Fucking hell BOS, you're the common denominator. Don't come again.
Only kidding mate, but we got through that. The game Mensa was on about, was 2003 or 04 IIRC, and it had picked up a lot by then.
All that is left is to teach him that Adebayor is a lazy fuck (Don't swear though)...
