I have a hard time deciding whether drums or vuvuzelas are the greater crime. Hate them both.

What about the brass section of the England band? There is no greater annoyance in sport than them *****

I couldn't give a shit about quality of food or the queue for beers really - get a kebab or a chick king and head to one of the locals.
It's just sanitised and dull at PL football now.
Tried so hard to make it this perfect utopia in order to not jeopardise image so commercial values can be recognised that you're judged negatively if you've had a few beers, sing, shout or show some tribalism... and with that we become 'legacy fans' and then legacy fades...
I 've never liked manufactured or organised atmosphere - it should be spontaneous - but we need to consider introducing an (in want of a better word because it's stupid in this context) ultras section where everyone is up for creating an atmosphere.
A friend of mine is a season ticket holder at Palace in the Holmesdale lower and loves most the games they go to because of the atmosphere created.

We've sat all around the ground this season and safe standing in the South Stand is a completely different (and better) experience. I would say that the people immediately around you are what make the biggest difference (shout out to the loud/angry/sweary woman just behind the goal in north stand!).

Just bumping this after today.
The stadium was flat. Before, during and after. It was horrible.
I then had a Gooner threaten to stab me on the tube, and we now have a table of them behind us on the Thameslink home singing Arsenal songs.
At this point it is going to take a lot to renew again.
Just thoroughly unenjoyable - would rather spend the money on a holiday with the little ones, and watch on TV

Spurs fans asked to pay highest prices in world, get fleeced at the stadium for food and drink & then get served up probably the worst football in the league when you consider some of the players we have (Kane etc)
Stadium will be heavily reliant on tourists once this season is done.
ENIC built a world class stadium that spurs fans no longer want to go to, in ultimate failure

Its definitely the least I've enjoyed going to Spurs in a while. The club really need to put some work in with fan groups and the supporters trust to improve the atmosphere. However, the problem is that a rot has set in amongst the fanbase. People just aren't happy. You've seen with Newcastle just how much a mood change can improve the atmosphere. The same is probably required at Spurs.

Legacy fans are the issue
Just be happy to go and watch a game of soccer in a world class stadium with world class facilities and separate changing facilities for the American Football players
There are few better stadiums to watch the Soccer than at the Tottenham Hotspurs

The Stadium sounded dead today.
At least those tourists are positive though. I am frustrated going but there are people who go over there and moan from the first kick. give me the positive tourists instead.
In terms of stadium, I noticed today on boardings and advertsiement that its entertainment (music, boxing etc) first and then Tottenham Hotspur 2nd. not great.
