St Totteringham Day

Well we don't have a 165k on a waiting list like your shower of ****. Mind we don't punch horses either, Plus we like Sir Bobby Robson.

 

Yeah ok, you boring twat.

 

Wembley attracts a lot of tourists, probably why your attendances have been down during the winter months.

 

So I take it the answer is no then. I am surprised you don't get a lot of Middle East and Asian tourists there though. Particularly Syrians, Iraqs and Afghanis who want to have a look at somewhere that reminds them of home.

 

It’s a big jump but we had/ have the demand for it. Whilst at WHL we had around a 40k-50k waiting list for a season ticket. The club sold an extra 18k STs this season to take the total up to 40k. That ain’t bad for a club who hasn’t won much in ages. In general we’re a pretty well supported club, most of the London sides are, the London factor obviously helps with that. This season at Wembley is a write off as so many are fed up of going there but I’m confident that once we’re back home, selling out that 62k shouldn’t be too much of an issue, at least in terms of league games anyway, cup games will be a different story.

 

You see more Man Utd games than the Toon.

But in credit, that's a lot more than most.

 

And so will the new ground. I don't think the tourists are going to look at the stadium. You would be amazed for how many Asian tourists coming to watch some PL games and shopping are probably the two main reasons for being there.

 

Do you know how Geordie this sounds?

Massive waiting lists

 

People just haven’t gone this season because they’re sick of Wembley. It’s not “home” for Spurs fans. We done pretty well last season averaging 65k-70k but a second season there was just a killer. Especially for real local fans like me, I live a 15 minute walk from WHL yet getting to Wembley on the trains is about an hour and twenty one way, worse when leaving the ground as it’s more congested.

 

So what was your average last season, across the board?

 

This season I think I have seen none of either live. Hoping to rectify that at the end of next month.

 

Nah, Wembley is Iconic like the Tower of London or Houses of Parliament, it's a must do for tourists. The Nike Stadium is nothing more than another ugly building.

 

According to Transfermarkt, 67,496 was our average attendance last season in the Prem.

 

You go to support the team not the stadium.

 

You go to support your local team. Wembley is essentially an away day for us.

 

They are football stadiums mate - built for the sole purpose of watching footie. Sure plenty of people go on Stadium tours at the club grounds but its to get a sense of the history and because they can't be there for a game. Can't think of anybody I know who says the highlight of their trip was the the Wembley Stadium tour!

 

I'm dudbous about that.

And what is the average for this season?

 

Well if you believe popular opinion most of our supporters are from off this island and Liverpool have a massive Danish support yet we both fill our grounds every match, maybe it's easier to travel the world than across London

 

Don’t get what’s to be dubious about?

This season much less, 52,584. Basically 15k less on average.

 

That’s because Utd and Pool are two of the biggest teams in world football, let alone England. It’s not exactly rocket science that you fill out, is it?
