I been watching brentford since 90sWell honestly I've watched & supported Brentford for a long time part-time, when I can
Will be a bit awkward if they carry on this rise & gain promotion
I doubt it's an option to travel to germany every other week to watch a team there playGo watch a different league. I watch a lot of Bundesliga, and while I'm a Schalke supporter my following isn't as ardent as it is with Spurs so I enjoy watching other teams as well (especially after he season that Schalke just had). It helps relieve a lot of the tension and it's actually helped me love Spurs even more.
Been thinking this for quite some time. Is it ever acceptable to change the team you go to see?
Ive supported Spurs for 30 years now. But for the last few seasons Im wondering why?
I don't have any affinity for 95% of our current players. Quite a few of them I can't stand.
Who could blame me when we buy and sell so many every year?
I dont agree with our transfer strategy.
I don't particularly like the chairman.
Our kits are a bit hit and miss. Childish maybe, but it would be nice to wear a good one now and then.
We sell our best players continuously.
We are boring to watch.
Our ticket prices are high considering the quality on show.
Its difficult to convince a neutral/friend/family to come to game because of the price puts them off
Tottenham itself is a bit of a shithole
There isn't any nice pubs near by.
But most of all, I hate the journey to and from the game. It takes up about 6 hours of my Saturday all said and done. A rush to get to white hart lane, always late lol. Never time for a beer and some relaxing. Is it really worth it if you don't enjoy it?
There is a club (no name) in a nice area close by that would take 20 minutes to get to. It has street upon street of lovely pubs to sit in pre and post game. Great places to eat (as much as I would miss tottenham jerk centre). The whole match day experience outside the stadium would be great. My friends have expressed they would be interested to come if I could get tickets.
Is it wrong to go to games of a club you don't support, just to have more enjoyment of your Saturday? I feel guilty lol.
I think a lot of the negative atmosphere at Spurs at the moment is because people feel obliged to go, because they always have done, rather than they want to be there. The Paxton for example, is near suicidal.
I can tolerate the train down from leicester
I love the tube over to seven sisters
The 30 mins walk up the high road
The beers in the vic and the elbow room
The kebab in siraz
Seeing whl rise like a beautiful beacon amongst the urban
The nights out in london as part of the wknd
I guess the experience varies from person to person but even though ive been to whl over 100 times i love the build up to a game and all the wknd shenanigans.
What disappoints me most these days is the lack of atmos in the ground. Pay all that money, the travel, the build up, and then silence.......price of success or changing fanbase im not 100% certain
But go elsewhere? Not a chance
I went to a few West Ham games in my youth, but it just felt shamefully dirty........a bit like when you tug one off whilst listening to your sister getting ploughed in the next room.
Well then he's fucked. Sounds like a need for new friends, not a new club.I doubt it's an option to travel to germany every other week to watch a team there play
He's expressed how getting to White Hart Lane is a long journey and part of the reason why he is considering going to watch his local team as a neutral observer with his friends for the sake of match day experience (pre/post drinks with his friends in a nicer area than tottenham etc while still being able to watch the sport he enjoys watching if not the team he holds most dear)
He could only watch the bundasleiga on tele or streams whatever and if he's gonna stay at home on a laptop he might as well just stream spurs games as you're not getting the match day experience either way
Watching on tv and the internet is fine for exposure you wouldn't normally have but it doesn't come close to replicating the enjoyment/experience of watching a game live in the stadium - that is what I suspect the OP wants, plus the pre/post drinks and interaction with his friends
