I love it that we have loyal, passionate overseas fans. I helped run the South Africa Spurs when I lived there. Obviously know loads of the Belgian Spurs, who attend as many games as most of my English mates (which is a lot) and have met loads of USA Spurs. Was really surprised how well informed the US lads were and how much they were into Spurs. I have joined the NY Spurs and Chicago Spurs for games and enjoyed every minute. Also know quite a few of the Austin Spurs. Loads of these lads travel regularly to see us, my mate in SA flew out just for our match in Benfica a few years back. Also met up with the Singapore Spurs at some ridiculous hour in the morning, a lot of these groups show amazing dedication.
 
I'm all for it. Shows they have very good taste for them to choose Spurs over all the Sky favorites, considering our global profile while growing isn't yet on a par with those clubs.
I think that shows some kind of care has gone into their reasoning to support us as most will be drawn to the massive transfers, and trophies of the scummy clubs.
 
As long as you love and respect the club and it's history, it needn't matter where one is from.

I've got a little extra respect for those who were born Spurs (via family or postcode) but that's not at the expense of those that aren't.

To be fair, your lot were over here shagging the women and taking all the money on a constant basis a few years back. It's only right some of you do the opposite.

That's true. There was raping. There was molesting. There was robbery. And we still got out as heroes. They are makings series and movies about us now. Adam Johnson tried the rape-thing, Not so fortunate. And in the end, we gave you Erik The Viking and Steffen Iversen. So we are even steven.
 
No problem at all... the more the merrier!, we don't have as big a profile (globally) as say Liverpool or Man Utd... then again, neither did Chelsea or ArseAnal up until a few years ago...
We need to be grabbing THAT support...

Nothing worse than landing in a foreign Country, and the first thing you see is a fucking Gooner shirt, therefore RUINING THE HOLIDAY ENTIRELY!! ...am I right?

Love seeing YIDS abroad. If only to acknowledge their long distance love affair with a friendly/knowing nod, and a "Come on you Spurs!"

...just steer clear of the half-and-half scarf Chaps & Chapesses!

Not sure, but it was worse when we were in the EL. Football is fucked. We need a relegation to weed this fanbase out. We’ve got people all around the world getting up at all hours. God forbid what it’s doing to world productivity.
 
Over here we make time dudes so we we can see all games . Our work is seasonal logging , tourism , farming and anything a jack ass can earn to make some bread.
Our commitment is total but distance , time zones and here extreme weather makes it very different .

On the whole, I couldn't care less, those of you who are on here talking all things Spurs prove your obsession and support just by being on here, you are no different than any other supporter. I've got a load of mates who are born and bred in Tottenham or within a couple of miles of the Stadium and have never been to a game (unless I've given them my ticket in the event that I can't go).

I do get a bit precious however about some of our supporters not born locally (so this could be those that live in England not just those outside of the country) trying to tell me that our rivalry with Woolwich is nothing and that they hate Liverpool (or whoever) more. In my eyes this means you haven't taken the time to understand our history, it means that you have no idea what it's like to have grown up side by side with kids at school, work colleagues etc that support them. I do get it that if you aren't exposed to the rivalry every day then it's almost impossible to feel the hate close up and it might be seen as manufactured or fake or whatever, there's not a lot you can do. But you will get a lot of respect if you take the time to acknowledge this rivalry and its history. The more you learn about it the more you can hate. You can't love if you can't hate. It's good to hate.

I also think that those of you that have become supporters haven't chosen us because we won the league or a cup, you are not glory hunters, big tick.

You should post this to Poch after Sunday’s abortion mate. He needs to know how hurt we are every time we put in a shitshow against that bunch of cunts.
As for foreign fans? Supporting a football club makes you part of a bigger thing that transcends where you come from. I’m a northern monkey (& proud of it), but absolutely love being part of the fan base of this fantastic club. No different than if I came from Romania or Romford
