Another day, another poll. Sorry.
In all my years as a Spurs fan this is the closest and at the same time the farthest that I have felt from the club that I love. It's the closest in that I'm feeling the collective pain and disillusionment of my fellow fans, not with the players but in what the club is becoming. Farthest in that I just don't have a clue anymore where we are going and how we're going to get there.
There's a fair bit of talk about what needs to change, what we'd like to see happen and loads of finger pointing. I've said elsewhere that in the current climate it would take a significant action to actually make the powers that be sit up and take notice (no I'm not planning on streaking on Sundays game, so don't get excited). As we know those powers couldn't give two-hoots about any grumbling on the internet or even in the stands.
Even worse is us supporters and the general apathy in this day and age to want to make a difference (I'm guilty). Whilst TFC (1882), the Supporters Trust and other amicable groups are doing their damnest most fans will generally be hoping that someone else will take the reins and sort it out. However when we want to be we can be the most vocal and passionate on the internet shouting at people we don't even know.
So thinking about it…(clearly the Tube strikes have got me going) if a hypothetical call was made to not show up to you seat for a game in protest…would you?
Ok there's going to be a lot of commentary on this. I appreciate that.
For example, would the club or the media even care? It would never work unless it was a whole block? If we protested outside would we be allowed to bring a drum? Would there be bacon sandwiches?
What I'm more interested in is whether us as supporters feel that we have reached a tipping point when it's actually time to stop typing and to be heard or are we blowing this all out of proportion and actually it's just us being Spursy and getting carried away.
