Following our appeal for Spurs fans to lobby the Chairman of the FA, Greg Dyke, to allow Tottenham Hotspur to play Season 2017/18 at Wembley, we've been asked to provide a template of a letter for fans to use. We've drafted one in case you're short of inspiration but want to lend your support. Emails go to Chairman@thefa.com, please. Many thanks indeed and keep writing!
Dear Greg,
I'm writing as a fan of Tottenham Hotspur FC to ask you to make every effort to help my club play at Wembley for the year we have to spend away from White Hart Lane.
For many fans like me, securing a London home for a London club during the year away is very important. Having to travel outside London for regular home games raises lots of transport issues for many of us. Playing at Wembley would also help preserve THFC's London identity, and maintain the integrity of the North London derby - one of the biggest global attractions in the Premier League calendar.
There would also be financial benefit to Wembley from taking THFC on board for a season, and a partnership with a club that is run sustainably would also surely send out a positive signal in the era of Financial Fair Play.
Finally, Spurs are among the clubs successfully developing and promoting home grown players - just look at the success of Harry Kane last season - and this is a factor I would like to think the FA would consider, too.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
COYS!
