Pathetic performance by the fans and let's not pretend it's the first time.
Best spurs team in three decades and we can't even get 30k... Fucking fair weather fans... laughing stock.
These cunts wouldnt have survived during the gross / Francis / Graham years.
We're this to happen at wham or arse we'd cunt them off left right and centre.
I appreciate what you are trying to say, but it’s worth looking at some historical data to appraise if the attendance is worth being angry about. For example, 12/10/1984 we beat Liverpool @ home and less people were at WHL that night than attended Wembley against Watford.
Same season we had less than 18,000 at home to Coventry and less than 17,000 at home to Sheffield Wednesday. Both of those clubs - especially back then - were bigger than Watford are now and yet that era is considered amougst our finest periods.
Moving a bit further forward, you can in fairness only find rare league games were there are significant attendances under 30,000. For example August 99 v Newcastle was around 28,000. I have not checked the Hoddle era, but I seem to personally recall quite a lot of games with empty seats back then, that could well have been people walking out in utter disgust !
If we head over into the Cups the story is much more mixed. 23000 at home to Besiktas in 2014 is an example of a big game with poor attendance. I suspect the league cup presents some even more damming attendances, so what can be called “fair weather” fans has always been there....
The point behind the stats is that “success” is not the driving factor. Something else is usually behind the attendances. But make no mistake Spurs won’t be suffering, they would work out to the penny what = profit.
That’s why they are not following the Wet Ham model of cheap tickets to fill a stadium (generally) I’d bet that Spurs with 30,000 at Wembley earn as much as 60,000 at Waste Ham do.
Myself, I have been a season ticket holder ( including this year at NWHL ) for a long long time. This season I have decided to pick and choose what I do, partly down to the Wembley factor, partly due to the ENIC factor.
I went to the new stadium last Summer and it was being openly said then that the build could be 6 months behind.
And I feel ENIC should never ever have taken ticket money when the stadium was not going to be done on time. Ironically I suspect I’d have been fine to pay for another full season at Wembley, if that was what was sold to me. But the dishonest way it was all done brings shame on the club and I don’t really like dancing to their tunes.
It is them I see as pathetic not my fellow fans, many of whom, like me probably wonder how on earth we find the 1000’s of £ every year to go to games.
It’s a shame to feel anger towards the club when we are doing well and I suspect there is a lot of supporters who don’t agree with me. However, some will feel like me hence the drop off in some ( not all ) games.
