If you genuinely think that you've been misled about what you were buying then contact the club and tell them why and ask what they can do about it.

I am waiting to see what options, if any, are available when membership renewals are sent out by the club. I do think that benefits of the 1882 club have been oversold by the club. The club is also whittling down the benefits with each game. The first cut was to only allow use of the drink voucher at half time. Previously we could use it at any time. Then, this week we were told we would be getting our free program by email and would no longer get the free hard copy program. Now waiting to see what the next cut back will be.

Quick question on ticket exchange...

All hypothetical...

If I couldn't go do a match, say for instance, the Brighton game for one reason or another...and listed my two tickets in the south stand, row 44 just off centre on the official ticket exchange. Am I allowed to the come on here and tell people?

Hypothetically speaking??

Off course you can give a heads up you’re doing it.

Still going to be sold by official rules

Just saw this posted on SSC and thought it was worth posting, from A City fan point of view that was there last week -

Last night the WHOLE of the ground were singing and the noise was incredible. I hope we're able to generate a similar noise next week....

Yeah their fans we're very good yesterday. It helps having one huge, single tiered stand. All the noise started there, in one voice, which made it easier for people in other areas of the ground to join in....

Their fans we're brilliant yesterday and would have been close to impossible to generate that type of atmosphere at Wembley....

It was always going to be tough out-singing them last night - new stadium, conducive to atmosphere, fans bang up for it....

You couldn't hear yourself think last night in their stadium, I've got a banging headache and my ears are still ringing. At times every bugger was singing. The stadium to be fair is fantastic. The Cop end is a must at any ground, and its a long time since I heard a noise like that in any football ground....

They have a stand with 17k people in it. All in there starting songs off... We have 20 of us at the back of block 115. The stadium makes a HUGE difference....

I've never liked Spurs, but fair play, that stand is something else! 17000 in one stand behind the goal is awesome....

when the home fans are as loud as the sours fans where it drowns out away end....

I think someone at Liverpool has seen what we are doing and thought hey yeah why don’t we do concerts without really thinking it through. They need to make all sorts of changes to the stadium and relay the pitch and disrupt their pre season. I’d guess they won’t repeat this next summer.

Was incredibly stupid of them long term to expand Anfield rather than build a new ground. That's what's going to hurt them.

Spoke to a Saracens supporter today asked him if he was going to watch them at the Spurs ground, he is and asked me about it because at the London stadium there wasn't much atmosphere, talk about cue me up.?
I didn't go overboard but said that Stratford white elephant seats go out as they go up whereas our ground seems almost perpendicular and his response was oh more like Wembley then.
It occurs to me that people who haven't been really can't quite grasp how different our home is so I'll leave him to discover it for himself then he will really understand.

Or they're just a rugby fan who has no concept of atmosphere

Not sure it will really hurt them. They will expand Anfield road end at some point and get to about our capacity. Will they take it further and go to 70-75k not sure. It won’t hurt them really financially but I’m sure in 20 years time Anfield will look a patched up bodge job while everyone else has a state of the art stadium. If Chelsea and United do go new build that’s when they will really regret it.

The thing that makes so many people, from ex-pros to commentators to journalists and even many neutral fans say ours is the best stadium they've ever been to isn't its size, though that's now pretty impressive, it's the quality of execution. Not just the details, the facilities, the look of the place, but the fact that it feels like a proper football stadium, and is recognisably Tottenham's home.

The first thing that stuck me about the new ground was how it manages to be radically new and yet simultaneously familiar. Location has a lot to do with that, bur so does the design, both inside and out.

There are so many things you have to get right and miraculously it seems that we have all the important things right. Anyone expanding their existing ground or moving to a new one will have a tough job of matching that achievement. If you stay, you probably compromise on some aspects of design and facilities. If you move, you probably lose the benefit of location and identity. We are incredibly lucky to have the best of both worlds where we are, without having sacrificed very much at all.

The thing is that the capacity's only part of the equation, probably not even the biggest part. It's the huge corporate revenue that's really going to make a big difference for that. And you're not going to get the same interest or quality of facilities without a new ground.

From my observations, it seems this stadium focuses on the pitch perfectly despite all the potential distractions (the bars, the food, the seating, etc). It's how stadiums are supposed to be, right?

Your City fan wouldn't know, but that is the direct result of the money and work expended on the acoustic design. Chants at Wembley would rapidly get out of time with each other and die out. Not so at the THS/NWHL. We can hear each other, because the reverberation times have been shortened.

You couldn't hear yourself think last night in their stadium, I've got a banging headache and my ears are still ringing. At times every bugger was singing. The stadium to be fair is fantastic. The Kop end is a must at any ground, and its a long time since I heard a noise like that in any football ground....

It's very reassuring that fans who are used to a 55k stadium think this. It will be interesting to see the comments after the other clubs with big/noisy grounds visit: Man Utd, Liverpool, Newcastle...
