Cutting the attendance from 60,000 to (?) 35,000 was responsible for your long wait,I suppose. I admire your perseverance,Power!

I wonder how much that cost Spurs over the years?

They had no choice but to reduce capacity.... it didn't cost them much as they had nearly 50 000 bronze members paying £35 a year to be on the waiting list. Of course if Levy had really wanted to screw the fans he could have doubled the season ticket prices and cut the waiting list that way, making 15m extra a season while he was at it.

I was on our Season ticket waiting list for more than ten years and was just below 9000 when we moved to Wembley. I don't buy the argument that those who have waited for years are somehow more plastic than those who have been selling their season tickets on at a profit.

In terms of Man Utd plastics is exactly what the Glazers banked on - and succeeded

My definitions...

1. Tourists people who come for a day out but are not really invested in the team....I have no issue with these people...I have gone to an America Football match at Wembley in the same way.

2. Corporates...those gifted tickets as business deals...have no issue with those people as they are in expensive seats and raise money for the club.

3. Plastics...
a. season ticket holders who always sell tickets for "lesser" games.
b. fans who only bother when we are doing well.

I find those in 3a out of order and those in 3b a bit tragic.

You do not have to go to matches to be a proper fan and being lucky enough to be able to afford the expensive seats does not mean you are a plastic.

The club needs to attract tourists, corporates and actual fans and my feeling is that the current pricing policy is pushing some fans away.

The Emirates is a real warning of what could happen if they do not take heed.

Hope this makes sense

This looks interesting. Seems like they are airing the documentary at the same time as the match though, silly. <doh>

Not enough to sign anyone! <laugh> I've no idea, honestly. I'm sure there'll be plenty of speculation in the next day or two, though.

Rumoured that we make £800'000 on food and drink from every home game , so a mob of boxing fans on the lash would be a lot more
 
Saracens v Harlequins will be shown live on Channel 5 on Saturday 28th March at 3pm.
I wonder if the stadium will look as different as it did for the NFL?

Will they use the football or NFL dressing rooms? I've got tickets for the Tunnel Club hospitality suite.
