Anji When: 12 December 2013 - 20:05pm Where: White Hart Lane - Block 35
1882 update + Anji and West Ham
Thanks again for the fantastic effort put in against Hull last week. It was a brilliant atmosphere and an experience that will long be remembered by those who were there. It was especially pleasing that the press seemed to pick up on that and at long last there was positive news stories written about the supporters of Tottenham Hotspur.
Anji
For The Europa League game against Anji 1882 movement will be in block 35. The game takes place on 12 December and kick off is 20:05. Tickets go on sale today (6th November) to members and are priced at £20.
Block 35
In fact all games that 1882 plan to attend will now be in block 35. This is in part due to the fact that Block J, East Upper has essentially become unusable given the speed in which the ‘movement’ has grown. Although Block 35, in terms of ticket availability due to the popularity of the block, makes things a little more tricky, the fact that it’s a lower tier means that it’s altogether safer. Given that the lower tier of the Park Lane and the closest blocks in the Shelf are traditionally the source of atmosphere at The Lane, it’s apt that 1882 becomes a part of that permanently. In fact the more normal 1882 becomes as a part of the atmosphere at the ground the less relevant 1882 will become. That’s the ultimate aim.

There’s a few things we’ve been asked to pass on:
• Persistent standing isn’t allowed. 1882 isn’t given an allowance to stand no more than any other area of the stadium, or any other ground in England. As ever you risk ejection from the stadium.
• Please keep the gangways clear, stewards are tasked to ensure supporters stay in their respective seats.
• Please do not be abusive to stewards. They’re doing what is asked of them.
• Ticker tape is seen as a prohibited item because of increased fire risk.
• Pyrotechnics are prohibited, and if found on a supporter, even around the stadium, it could lead to arrest, banning, and possibly a prison sentence.
• Finally please remain in the seats you’ve bought during the game. Ticket migration can lead to overcrowding and is seen as a safety risk.
West Ham
Unfortunately the quarter final of the League Cup game will not be a game that 1882 will officially attend. Block 35 is given to their fans due to increase ticket allocation obligation for cup matches. As Block J is no longer an option this leaves no suitable blocks left to us. There’s lots of reasons why this is the case, too many to go into detail here.

Do the Spurs Hierachy want an atmosphere or do they just want another Paxton road end?

No thanks. I prefer taller blokes.

So in other words the club wants us to stay seated yet create a atmosphere. Any wonder why time served fans are sick of modern football if we as fans are not even allowed to express ourselves…..

Whilst the “ultimate aim” is to integrate 1882 into the wider support on match-days, I think it’d be a shame to lose it’s initial purpose – to go and support the Spurs youth, a way of supporting our club on a minimal budget.
Not only do I think it’s great to have support at youth games, I actually think the atmosphere helps in the development in our young players massively. That should never stop.
I’m not sure if I’m right, but it does seem that since 1882 has been attending 1stXI games, the youth games are getting a little neglected

Come on lads, were all going to be at the Hammers game anyway… Let’s just try and make as much noise as possible in both the Park Lane and Shelf side and with any luck we’ll convert a few others to the movement. Perhaps we should have a trigger song or an 1882 minute, when we all stand up and can see where we all are…. spread the word is the only way. I’m sure there are a lot of fans who want to support the team vocally, who don’t, as those around them just sit quietly. Stand up and be counted.. Finally with the new stadium starting to make progress, and my season ticket waiting list number in hand, we should be talking to the club about allocating an area of the new ground so that like minded (singing) fans can congregate. How great would it be to have a 1882 section for EVERY game, we’d be the envy of fans around the country. We need to make the new Lane a fortress and intimidating for away teams. It seems to have taken Woolwich 10 years for some of their various librarians to get together and congregate.. Let’s not make the same mistake !!

Hi, i’m an Italian Spurs supporter and wanna ask if 1882 will cover all the remaining Cup matches.
Last year i had the luck, yes the luck, to be there in April to watch THFC-MCFC, and the following day the U21 NLD in Barnet, and i’m hoping to relive that experience.. (:
