Red Star fans at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium

23/10/2019

Following the Champions League home game against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday evening, we’ve had lots of questions asking about the presence of away fans in the ground. Representatives of the Trust were in touch with Club officials during the match and have followed up subsequently. We think it’s helpful to set the information we’ve been given out clearly to both Trust members and the wider Spurs fan base.

Along with many other match attenders, we noticed a paragraph in the email sent out by Spurs to ticket holders ahead of the Watford game referring to "reports of unauthorised match day car parks operating in the stadium area".

It’s clear that some lessons have been learned from last season.

THFC debt restructuring analysis by THST

4/10/2019

On 20 September, the Club announced that it had completed the refinancing of the bridging loans provided by three banks in 2017 to finance the new stadium build. The announcement was accompanied by an interview with Daniel Levy in the Financial Times (paywall). The existing debt of £637m was repayable in 2022. As the Club would be unable to repay this amount from current cash flows it was facing a financial cliff edge with the clock ticking (to coin a phrase). The refinancing is, therefore, good news and the publicised terms are better than we anticipated in our earlier analysis of the Club’s financials.
