Season Ticket Renewal Thread (Read first post)

[RickyVilla]

I had something like that when we were at Wembley. Unless it was a really big match, the two blokes behind me would spend virtually the entire match chatting to each other about their wives, kids, work and various stuff past and present that they had done/were going to do. Quite loudly as well. Was infuriating and I had to really bite my tongue from asking them if they wouldn’t mind fucking off to the pub instead.

I wouldn't mind if they didn't look at me like I am an alien when I try and get a song going. Tourists just don't understand.

The odd thing is the blokes I’ve described in my previous post weren’t “tourists”. In between rambling about their wives, kids and what they did last night they also arrange going to the away games .

It’s like the actual football part is just background noise and totally incidental to the rest of the experience. No wonder ENIC get away with serving up such shite with such exorbitant ticket prices.

That might be a reflection of society actually. Moaning used to be mostly reserved for the over 40’s like myself, but in the last few years everyone seems pissed off and angry about something.

To be fair, it's been a fairly shitty couple of years!

I've been going to WHL for years so I wasn't expecting zero moaning!!!

What did surprise me somewhat was the negativity in the South Lower. I picked that part of the stadium as I expected a slightly younger, more positive bunch but certainly in the last season in the new ground that wasn't the case!

Tried South Lower a couple of times but got wound up both times by separate groups of ‘lads’ f-ing and c-ing through the whole game for no reason; getting into arguments with everyone around them and wanting to scrap with anyone asking them to tone down the language a bit.

I just want to have a few beers, enjoy the game, sing till my throat hurts and have a laugh but found I spent more time/effort trying to shut them out than taking in the game.

Yep that's it - I think a little bit too much of the Bolivian Marching Powder had been used.

Haha yeah. Goes back a bit further than that though. Ever since the Brexit talk began actually imo.

Anyone know when season tickets that have not been renewed, will be allocated to ones on the waiting list?

think they will do moves first, I have friends hoping to move seats.

Bolivian?? Pablo Escobar will be turning in his grave...

So, where does one go to stand for 90 minutes?

Preferably also somewhere I don't have nosy neighbours like @RickyVilla eavesdropping on my half time plans.

Back of the stand watching it on the telly or in the pub!

Can confirm this. I've renewed and and my group have a window for moving seats from tomorrow until Wednesday so I'd imagine after that they'll be offering to people on the list.

My guess is that everyone on the wait list will be offered a ticket.

Really? I’m sure there won’t be that many who haven’t renewed ?

I've heard about a lot of people renewing regardless of the last few weeks. Much more renewing than giving up

I hope you are right. That will be good, Spurs forever whoever runs us and owns us.

In my seat I have some bloke in front of me who thinks he should get his season ticket free because he went to Middlesborough away in the 90's when we were in the bottom half of the table. Next to me and behind me I am surrounded by Norwegians who spend more time talking about what they are going to eat at half time than the match. Most don't even come out for the 2nd half. I miss block 32 and 36 at the old ground when my membership would get every home game and some away.

I have just had an email through saying I can move my seat tomorrow. I think I will if there is a decent alternative I like.

Considering we have over 40k ST holders now I’d certainly hope that a lot more renewed than didn’t but I’d also imagine that less renewed than ever before and by quite a margin!

Well quite.
