Spurs Tickets (78 Viewers)

[pusbccfc]

Never went home as a kid thinking "those nasty fans said our ground is too big" and lost sleep over it.

Probably wouldn't have got excited that a random bloke put cov in the top 5 fans either.

I remember the football though.

It's football fan culture. You might not care but it's clearly an important part for many people.

If it wasn't a part of football, there wouldn't really be songs, regular debates about club sizes, flags and banners. Ultras wouldn't exist in Europe.

It's on sky and they are asking non ST holders for basically 40 quid , kids over 20

But non season ticket holders are a minority, it doesn't sound like the season ticket holders fancy paying and they represent 80% of potential sales

Part of culture to worry about what other fans think?

Selfies with limbs too?

One-upmanship, clearly. It will always be a part of football and it was something that was missed during COVID.

'Limbs' comes under the same umbrella.

Football without it would be rugby or other boring sports being watched on telly.

I've never seen this on my Facebook personally , but il take your word for it

I've seen them on facebook advertising before.

Have you got a decibel ometer for wladitt too?

Who really cares if spurs sing a nasty song, I care more about the football.

Don't talk bollocks

I’m still pissed off I had to pay non-ST prices cause I missed the deadline.

My fault for missing it, but as a STH I don’t expect to be punished for it. Plus the shity add ons.

~£40 to watch us get battered with no leadership/experience/dinosaur hard man in midfield, and a half empty stadium.

Bollocks

Only barely rememberable time anyone sang "your grounds to big for you" was Northampton who were told swiftly that their ground was too shit for us.

Apart for that who cares what a bunch of badly dressed success starved london cunts think?

And that's absolutely fine. Some people do only go for the football and nothing else.

Some go and wave flags, sing the songs, wind up opposition fans. It's part of it whether you enjoy that or not.

Do you really think people sing songs just to support the players?

I'm not talking about Spurs. I'm talking generally. Winding up fans is a part of football. Same bracket as Norwich fans singing about playing football in a library last week.

Substitute any club in there then, who cares what the inbred farmers of North Anglia think?

The are the experts in playing in quiet stadiums anyway.

If away fans upset you then maybe you need to get into Rugby or something?

It should have been until next Tuesday.

I'm not overly fussed. My point is, people talking about empty seats and quiet stadiums is clearly part of fan culture.

Your final point is pretty much my point. It's part of football but no other sport.

People like who talking about it?

I don't get the mindset. Probably people worrying about what a 17 year old kid thinks in his vlog.

 

[pusbccfc]

I doubt anyone is losing sleep but there wouldn't be multiple songs in football about 'Shit support', 'empty seats' etc.

All I'm saying is it's clearly a part of football, especially for younger fans .

Multiple football songs sung at many away games. Any debate about club size. Twitter and forum threads like this talking about attendances.

You wouldn't hear 'Rugby in a library' at Twickenham.

it's not though as the vast majority don't give a rats

it's the behaviour of a few bell ends who are bell ends at the match and are likely bell ends away from the game as those bell ends are simply bell ends

If said bell ends got into another sport they would be bell ends there because bell ends are gonna bell end

in fact up north were rugby league is popular and bell ends are plentiful I bet you get the same bell end behaviour at those games as bell ends are gonna bell end

I'm sure they don't. People don't lose sleep over it.

However, it's still a part of football. Otherwise, as I've said, you wouldn't hear the same songs sung at most matches.
I don't think I've been to a Coventry away match in the past 5 years where we haven't sung multiple songs about the opposition.

I'm done talking about it now, we've all got better things to do

Strangely I don't really notice these songs at away games

Maybe I'm not stood close enough to you or the handful of folk in Marshall Artist who will be likely to sing such songs.

FFS you've made me just check, I bought mine this afternoon at £37 +£1 booking fee and they wanted £1.20 postage. I went and picked it up instead. I never realised it was only £30 up until yesterday. Why the price increase,there is still a week to go, now that has pissed me off

This is what I'm referring to, people getting wound up by twitter spats.
Bizarre behaviour.

 

[GIMOC]

Yes and I actually want it to unlike you and the fellow Doug haters.

I personally want a sell out but soon as prices came out I knew it we wouldnt

either he was badly advised or got greedy

made me laugh you and mr o day saying loads wanted tickets

 

[GIMOC]

Because the anti-Doug mob are desperate for this not to sell out to get one over him.

we actually want a full house but thanks to another masterclass by Doug we won’t be getting one

 

[theferret]

Still not sure why people are confused by this. Cup games are bonus fixtures for the club, no need to be greedy.

They start from a base of 0 rather than 22K. To sell out you need one of two things, either massive anticipation or attractive pricing. There is neither here, so it won't sell.

Nobody thinks we'd have sold 27K against Maidstone at £38? Of course not. No surprises at all at the take-up.

I wwould think a fixture against one of the big 6 would generate massive anticipation.

Of course we wouldn't have sold out against Maidstone (lol) but Spurs are a much more attractive opponent.

Which is exactly my point, the crowd against Maidstone was far higher than this one will be, despite the fact anticipation was lower given the opposition. Higher anticipation? Probably, but it isn't high enough to negate the prices they have applied.

'Big 6' though, it's Spurs in the early rounds of the league cup tbf, not getting giddy at that prospect. I'm looking forward to it, but no more than the Swansea league game.

Big 6 what have Spurs won in the last 20 years ?

 

[Tommo1993]

There are people going to Watford and Leeds who aren’t going to this game. Like most of us, they disagree with the apparent significance and stupid pricing.

Anyone who's spending £70+ on going to Watford but won't pay £30 for this game is stupid

Well, nothing, that's why I put it in inverted commas.
