There have been several claims on here that Tottenham have a large support and a huge waiting list of supporters keen to watch games.
If we look at what attendances other clubs have got when they have played in their last 2 home matches in the Group stages of the Uefa Cup or Europa League (which ever they competed in last) it tells us this:
Man City 33k and 38k
Liverpool 34k and 38k
Aston Villa 37k and 29k
Newcastle 30k and 25k
Everton 31k and 18k
Tottenham 25k and 24k*
Although West Ham haven't made the Group stages they did get 32k at home in their last European tie (before the Group stages).
* Includes 1.5k free tickets and underground station advertising.
What has happened to the Tottenham support? Are we now saying it's not quite as big as we first thought?
Please stay on topic.

Where is the supposed Tottenham support?

So what you are saying, is that you agree that the article is other, and you are desperately looking for whatever tenuous themes you can find to avoid the pain this fact gives you

The article is still going
1. Not that important
2. The match was on TV
The 2 reasons you stated above are equally as valid for the other teams who got bigger gates than Tottenham

No.

Indeed. But not relevant to your original premise (ie fallacy) .
End of article.

maybe for your view - still open for others

So what you are saying is that arguing the amount of support Spurs have, based on their last 2 Europa home game attendances, is a fallacy

Warm Feet, all your articles have been posted on the Spurs board, but you dont seem like a spurs supporter
so ...who do you support and what were their attendances for their last two Europa/Uefa cup ties?

Warm is either an Arsenal or West Ham fan!
Regardless he is a bit of a boring
