Pay-per-view games and support for Tottenham Foodbank

20/10/2020

Spurs fans will be aware of the controversy surrounding the Premier League's decision to televise behind-closed-doors games not selected by Sky Sports or BT Sport as part of the traditional broadcast packages as pay-per-view events. These games will cost £14.95 via Sky Sports and BT Sport Box Office. We recently made comment on that decision here.


We are talking to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, the Premier League and Sky Sports, lobbying alongside our colleagues in the Football Supporters' Association for a fairer deal for fans. ​We're hearing that opposition on social media and reported ih the press is having an effect on the TV companies and the Premier League, so anything fans can do to keep the volume of noise up is welcomed.

Our first pay-per-view game is scheduled at home to Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday 1 November at 7.15pm, so we have some time until our fans need to decide whether they want to watch that game via  Sky Sports Box Office. If nothing changes, we'll be publicising the option of donating the £14.95 PPV fee to Tottenham Foodbank. 

​Fans in Manchester and Newcastle have been doing similar through their Trusts, and Liverpool's Spirit of Shankly is asking fans to contribute to their local foodbank ahead of their PPV game against Sheffield United next weekend. 

There is, of course, nothing to stop fans donating now to Tottenham Foodbank, and your help is much needed. The foodbank has seen an increase in demand due to COVID-19, with client numbers almost doubling since March. It is also facing a reduction in donations as people can't get out to the shops, meaning the need for your support is even greater. 

You can donate via the Tottenham Foodbank Justgiving page.

You can also donate £3, £5, £10 or £20 straight to the foodbank by texting TOTTENHAM 3, TOTTENHAM 5, TOTTENHAM 10 or TOTTENHAM 20 to 70085. Texts cost donation amount plus one standard rate message.

We'll update on any developments around PPV on our usual channels over the coming days.
