Away fans in home areas - THST update

1/17/2020

We’ve had an increasing number of questions about away fans in home areas at our new stadium, so we have spent some time trying to get a detailed answer from the Club about how this issue is dealt with.
We’re not suggesting fans who support different teams are incapable of sitting together, but we do recognise the reality that many fans have issues with significant numbers of away fans in home sections, and particularly in the South Stand, that was heavily marketed as the heart of the home support. So we pushed for the Club to explain its approach, in response to the many fans who have contacted us on this subject since the Liverpool game last weekend.

It’s now 12 days since allegations that Antonio Rüdiger was racially abused by the home crowd at the Premier League game between Spurs and Chelsea on Sunday 22 December. In the interests of all concerned, there now needs to be a clear statement on what has been established by the investigation THFC announced immediately after the game.

The Club has published a policy outlining sanctions for misbehaviour and ticketing offences, and a clear appeal process for fans. It’s something we’ve been asking for some time, and we’ve been working closely with THFC and the Football Supporters' Association to come up with something that is workable, clear and fair.

THST statement on Mauricio Pochettino

11/19/2019

We’re shocked and saddened to hear our Club has sacked Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching staff. During his time at Spurs, Poch gave us many of our best moments as supporters, made Tottenham Hotspur a force to be reckoned with again, and forged a strong link with the fans. We will never forget the joy he brought us.

Red Star fans at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium

10/23/2019

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.

Driving to Tottenham on Match Days

10/22/2019

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 went on to say that "the Council and the Police have set up a task force group that are looking to close such sites down and fans using them have received penalty charge notices as a result." We've investigated further on behalf of members.

THST meeting with THFC catering team

10/18/2019

Trust Board member Rachel Martin met with George Robertson and Levi Harris from the Club to share feedback from the most recent THST catering survey, featuring your comments from the home matches against Inter Milan, Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Broadly speaking, supporters expressed great satisfaction with the range of food on offer. There was also appreciation of the effort to meet various dietary requirements. Pricing for food and drink, the portion size for food and speed of food service is also rated highly.
It’s clear that some lessons have been learned from last season.

THFC debt restructuring analysis by THST

10/4/2019

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.
