This is a report of the meeting held between the Boards of THFC and THST on Tuesday 20 February. In line with normal practice, both sides have agreed this is an accurate representation of discussions.  
​
This is a long read, with an accompanying document setting out in detail the proposals THST made on concessionary pricing. Please take the time to read both documents carefully before raising any questions. We will be holding a members meeting on 12 March, please keep an eye on your inboxes and our website for details, at which issues arising from this report can be discussed. In the meantime, we’ll do our best to answer any questions you have within the constraints of our available time as volunteers.

With ticketing at Spurs such a hot topic, we were delighted to secure the most senior ticketing executive at THFC – Ian Murphy (IM) - as a guest speaker for our latest Members’ Meeting. This took place on Tuesday evening, 15 November, in the function room of the William Blake pub on Old Street. Around 50 Trust members took the opportunity to question Ian on ticketing specifics in person with several others sending questions in advance on email. 
 
THFC’s Head of Supporter Services, Jonathan Waite (JW), was also on hand to respond to any broader, customer service questions.
 
The meeting was chaired by Trust co-chair Martin Cloake (MC) with fellow co-chair Kat Law (KL) explaining the Trust position on several issues during the discussions.
 
It was a lively event and we’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in this report.

THST was among the fan groups who met senior representatives of the Premier League in late July. The meeting was the first to be held following the call by the Government's Expert Working Group on Fan Engagement and Supporter Ownership for improved dialogue between the PL and supporters' organisations. 

We reported back on the meeting in our July newsletter, and had hoped to give a fuller report back soon after. It's taken the PL the best part of seven weeks to produce a somewhat cursory account of the day's discussions, and we have made our view clear that meetings should be reported back on much sooner in future if they are to retain validity in the eyes of supporters. We are grateful to the Football Supporters' Federation for publishing a more informative account of the meeting. 

Topics discussed were away ticket prices, kick-off times, Safe Standing, the Independent Football Ombudsman, the Living Wage and B teams in the EFL Trophy. There was also some discussion on the process of future meetings. 

THST was encouraged by the progress made on Safe Standing, and this is something we've followed up at Club level.

This meeting was a first step in what could be a mutually beneficial process, and we'll be looking for improvements in future.

THST: Spurs fans back Safe Standing

Spurs supporters have voted overwhelmingly in favour of Safe Standing in a survey carried out by the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST).
Safe standing refers to specific models of modern standing accommodation such as those permitted in Germany, Sweden, and Austria as well as standing technologies deemed to be safe for matches in League One and below by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published Green Guide.

It’s been a busy month at THST - we have updates on the following: Safe Standing, The ‘Y’ Word, Ticket Pricing, Stop StubHub, Arsenal FA Cup Ticket Allocation, Loyalty Points, AGM, Surfing Flag, Antwerp Arms, World Book Day, Roll of Honour Event, No To Hull Tigers

Summary:
A busy start to the New Year for THST. We have updates on the following: Stop StubHub’ campaign, Safe Standing Survey, THST Board and Annual General Meeting, The ‘Y’ Word, The Antwerp Arms, Fan Behaviour, Ticketing – Arsenal FA Cup Allocation, Atmosphere at White Hart Lane, World Book Day, Roll of Honour Event
  

Campaign objectives 

To persuade the government, football authorities and football clubs to accept the case for introducing, on a trial basis, limited sections of standing areas at selected grounds in the stadiums of Premier League and Championship football clubs.
