2 years, to find ourselves back with the same process we used in 2020 before we’d even spoken to the club, “just tell fans to buy in these blocks”.

What’s interesting is the upper Paxton was a section that I discussed in great detail with the chairman himself, so it wasn’t totally off the table. Ultimately the relationship fell apart after being asked to follow a number of steps that required a lot of work, meetings, presentations, for nearly

What we asked for, more than anything, was a window for STH’s to relocate, that was key. Ideally for members too but that would have taken manual work. The location was a conversation that needed to happen, we suggested a number of locations, sadly ticketing refused to meet with us to discuss

We have not gone all ENIC out, Song Sheets yes, we have nothing to do with that account. Jonny who started it is on the FAB remember, he’s not exactly going to be holding up a protest 🪧 board outside Lilywhite House is he

The club know vocal fans stand! You do not have anywhere near enough background to make a judgement.

Hey, you’re taking one of our countless suggestions and using this to tell all our demands were unrealistic and as a result we have kickstarted the ENIC out movement? You can not unpack over a year of negotiations with the club in a tweet. North Upper, as we told you, was one of many suggestions

A lot has changed in the past 8–12 weeks. Fans, podcasts, and journalists are aligning in a way we’ve never seen before. These songs suggest the dial has shifted, and this sentiment is likely here to stay for a very long time.

We’ve seen this with United and the Glazers. Once fan sentiment reaches this level, it tends to stick. For United, it became a core part of their fandom—an intrinsic part of being a United fan—and it hasn’t gone away.

to incorporating his name into player chants sung loudly by a significant portion of the away end for long stretches, it feels like the sentiment around the chairman and ownership has fundamentally shifted. It seems united. This hasn’t happened before.

I tend to overanalyse our fans and their sentiment, but this time, somethings shifted in a big way. When songs evolve from being solely about the chairman and a fraction of the fanbase wanting him out,

Go at what? I think you’re confused about the goals of the movement

While we remain dedicated to improving the atmosphere and bringing like-minded passionate fans together, we will now continue as an independent fan-driven movement. Viva la independencia Return of the Shelf

We no longer feel aligned with what the Club is trying achieve, or that we are making any progress towards our primary goals.

Announcement: The Future of Return of the Shelf After much deliberation, the Return of the Shelf movement has unanimously voted to step away from working with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. 🧵

the tifo from say row 5, or row 10. The club ignored all of this advice and went ahead with thick card as they wanted to print on it. It was their desire to control and make all of the decisions, ignoring the expertise and experience of THFC Flags, that resulted in this issue.

Hi Jill, the atmosphere groups warned the club that this would happen and suggested various materials that were not easy to throw, and also suggested foil flags for the lower tier. THFC Flags even sent paper samples to the club for throw tests from various rows, in view of potentially starting

We believe there isn’t enough transparency from fan groups or the club, so here it is: by the fans, for the fans. Much love, ROTS, THFC Flags, SSS

We hoped it would unite all stakeholders, both inside and outside the club, and finally give us the chance to drive our vision—and the vision of many fans—for a brilliant and vibrant atmosphere at THS.

This deck allowed us to present our ideas across all levels of the club, from leadership to fan groups, with a goal of fostering shared understanding and collaboration.

ROTS @returnoftheshelf.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
Our aim was to align with the club’s values—speaking its language and connecting our vision to its brand, reach, and finances—while staying true to our core beliefs, our passion for the traditions of British football fan culture, and Tottenham Hotspur's rich fan identity and history.

In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to share the deck we created for the club to demonstrate why we’re here, what our goals are, and why they matter. In the thread below, you’ll find 22 slides.

Given the Club’s position that they will not meet until February, we cannot continue idly being involved or associated with a process over which we have no control or input that is heard. We will continue in our attempts to converse with the Club. Updates to follow in due course.

In the spirit of collaboration, we were willing to give it a go, try to make a success of it and reflect after Roma. The truth is it was always a losing battle. It failed.

Despite our names on the email, we didn’t approve what the singing section would look like, chiefly given that it was a long way from what we had initially proposed and what we thought we had agreed upon.

Given that Elfsborg tickets go on sale to STH tomorrow, we need to be transparent. We have today informed the Club of our wish to be removed from communications regarding the “singing sections” for both the Man United and Elfsborg games.
