Getting clearer with each game that there needs to be a reset at #spurs We need more backing for the Charter to up the pressure on the board and to provide a focus for potential new owners. We need vision, not just opposition.

Still driving back from Everton and reminiscing about the 1990’s when virtually every car on the motorway on a weekend would have a flag or a scarf flying out of the back window, like some huge footballing procession up and down the country. I used to love that. ⚽️🎉

This is the 3rd atmosphere group to disassociate with the Club this week. All citing the same issues with the culture of control & lack of collaboration at THFC. A Board who forgets where fans fit into the Club matrix (Clue: it’s at the heart) are inviting problems. Viva ROTS 👏🤜🤛

Great to see so many familiar faces in Glasgow last night. Please take 5 mins to complete the @FansEurope survey on your experience at Ibrox. Remember FSE is the recognised fan group by @UEFA and the best conduit to ensure your voice is heard by them 👇👇👇

At Gatwick and boarding a plane full of Spurs on their way to Glasgow. Very much looking forward to the trip and to experiencing Ibrox for the first time tonight!. Nothing quite like Euro away games 🥰💙⚽️ #COYS

This is both depressing and uplifting at the same time. Depressing that yet another group has found the Club difficult to deal with. Uplifting that the more people who speak out, the more it empowers others to push for change. We need to collectively shift the dial as fans at Spurs. It’s OUR Club 🤜🤛

Really strong statement on the 2034 World Cup here. Keep shining a light. Keeping pushing. Keep speaking out. Change has to come eventually. 🤜🤛

At some point soon we need a serious conversation about the over use of italics everywhere within the new club branding. It’s hideous. On my ticket ❌ On the LED ribbon in the stadium ❌ On the programme cover ❌ Too much, mate. Too much. 😩🤣

Never have I been more grateful to miss an away game by one point. (And a work commitment. But stay with the one point.) What a shower of abject shite that was. And yes. That’s a technical definition. 😩

Thanks to everyone who turned up before the game, that was decent! Sadly during the game it was exactly what we predicted, we warned the club that this would happen.

Kat @katlaw.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Have to agree with this. The times we did our best work at THST were the times the Club staff were able to fully collaborate and genuinely explore options. Those were few and far between, sadly. Fans deserve better. ROTS deserves better. The Club should do better. 💯

‘You’ve seen the Spurs, now f**k off home’ really is one of my very favourite chants. Not only does it amuse me greatly, it also means we’ve been showstoppers, performed brilliantly and have taken all the points! GTFI #COYS

Kat @katlaw.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

This is so frustrating to read. Either support ROTS and work with them to develop a process or be honest and say what’s possible from the start. This is no good for anyone. Another own goal from THFC, seemingly 🙄

Tottenham Hotspur’s rebrand featured on BBC Breakfast this morning. Any branding expert knows that you normally rebrand when there’s a change of direction in your core offering. So maybe this will signal a shift of focus to the actual football side of the football club, eh? 🙏🏻🤞🤣

‘The main problem with the way the Club has communicated this is that it has given a message to its fans that reads like a marketing industry internal brief. And that’s something the Spurs supporting marketing professionals I know think too.’ Yep. Agreed 🫡

The Club has announced there will be no new senior St's from the 25/26 season, alongside significant reductions in discounts for existing seniors. An immoral, unethical and unnecessary move we want reversing. Join us.

I get that this is new territory for UEFA but is it really that hard to give an announcement time to fans who are anxiously waiting on their EuropaLeague fixture schedules? It’s now FOUR HOURS since the ChampionsLeague announcement, on a match day. At least pretend fans count. 😩

Kat @katlaw.bsky.social · 24/08/2024

Fully respect people just want to go to the game, catch up with mates, have a drink, watch the match, enjoy the day and go home again without being dragged into supporter politics. But this is an important issue with implications for all concessions so please join in if you can 👇👇👇 #SaveOurSeniors

Under a fortnight out from #Spurs first game of the new season and wondering whether our Board has forgotten that the whole point of a football club is to compete at football. Not to build hotels or host 30 gigs a year. But to challenge for honours in your actual football. 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are a few small wins in here, like no booking fees on ST renewals, a longer ST renewal window etc. But these are dwarfed by an excessive 6% price hike, without justification, and the appalling attack on Seniors. www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2024/ma...

The great facial recognition experiment

Live facial recognition is a controversial technology that has been challenged in the UK courts and in Parliament. But the police are, once again, using football fans as a testing ground.

Clearly tonight is an extremely important game for Spurs in general but it’s an extra important one for me. Like so many of my generation without family ties to Tottenham, this is where the journey started. Man City in the Cup in 1981. And what a journey it’s been so far 💙
