Nonsense.The first thing they used to ask me is which one is Harry Kane!
Bollocks, all I see are families. Happy to see them too!They don't have kids and are loaded!
They don’t support Spurs, they support Sonny.Nonsense.

Not true.They don’t support Spurs, they support Sonny.
Man United are the second most popular team in Korea. Park Ji-Sung hasn’t played for them in 12 years.It’s all about the player for them. When Ronaldo left Real for Juve. Real lost a million Twitter followers and Juve gained the same.

Bloody hell, haven’t been on that site since the stadium opened.It is possible to book at technical tour now to see all parts of the stadium. Photos in the link below. A bit too nerdy for me but might interest some.
Manu are the most supported club in Asia, Park Ji-Sung or no Park Ji-Sung.Man United are the second most popular team in Korea. Park Ji-Sung hasn’t played for them in 12 years.
That's a really good link - spent quite some time last evening, enjoying reading through that thread. Thanks.It is possible to book at technical tour now to see all parts of the stadium. Photos in the link below. A bit too nerdy for me but might interest some.
How many South Koreans attended games before we signed Sonny? How many posters are long term season ticket holders and can shed some light on it?Not true.
Sorry to disagree with you, J, but I must admit that it's not my experience of the S Korean fans. The vast majority of the ones I see are either young couples or pairs of young girls and more often than not it's clearly their first time at the stadium (possibly their last too), by the way they're forever taking selfies. They're definitely football tourists. Not sure I've ever seen a family - maybe it's just where you're sat?Bollocks, all I see are families. Happy to see them too!
The big question will be how many attend after Sonny is finished at Spurs.How many South Koreans attended games before we signed Sonny? How many posters are long term season ticket holders and can shed some light on it?

If Sonny being at Spurs is creating loads and loads of lifetime Spurs supporters, that's great - but I'm not convinced that they'll stay here when Son leaves. I think he'll take most of them with him.
Edit: Is there a S Korean fan on the forum who can provide an 'expert' view on the subject?
Perhaps it is where I sit, I see loads of families. There were 2 sets of Korean families in front.of me on Sat.Sorry to disagree with you, J, but I must admit that it's not my experience of the S Korean fans.

How easy is it for tourists to get tickets?Its clearly on the 'must-do' list for South Korean tourists in London. They're not necessarily football fans, let alone Tottenham fans, but they come to see Son - who is one of if not the biggest sports stars in the whole of Korea.
Each tourist spends £££ in the club shop - minimum of a SON 7 shirt, plus scarves, program, whatever else they fancy. When you're on holiday money flows differently. A £100+ ticket ain't much when its a once in a lifetime trip and you're already paying for your flights and hotels etc. Agreed with above it's almost always young (20s/30s) couples. Rarely kids.
Personally I don't see them as taking tickets from other fans but would be interested to know exactly how they all get allocated. They never cause any aggro. The South Korean flags are as much a part of the stadium on matchday as Rainham Steel and Enfield Co-Op advertising boards were in the 90s. Incidently when I first started going you got loads of groups of Norweigen tourists, mostly due to Erik Thortsvedt I believe.
Yep, many hours watching the build. Thanks Daniel for all the cameras.Bloody hell, haven’t been on that site since the stadium opened.
The hours I wasted on there whilst it was being built!!!!
