This isn’t Tottenham Hotspur. This is Enic. They chose to create an atmosphere of business and customer rather than club and fan. They prioritise commercial interests over football every time and that is what has lead to the separation many feel from the club.
Any feelings of glory and hope are just pure nostalgia now. Levy has only got the manager choice right three times in 23 years and he sacked all three.
I’m glad that Enic have made a commercial success out of Tottenham Hotspur, but they have killed all that it stands for. There’s nothing there of ‘to dare is to do’ or Danny blanchflower talking about the glory game. Enic are not interested in that at all. Levyproved that when he appointed nuno after declaring he understood our dna.
If you accept all that, understand that you will be watching a division of an entertainment business and you feel the price is right, go ahead.
If you want to be part of a football family, go to a local non league club. That’s what I do.
Don’t let anyone tell you every premier league club is run like this. It isn’t. Only enic fc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tottenham Hotspur from 1882 until 1961 won precisely three trophies in 78 years. Good job you and others were not around supporting them during that time. ENIC were nowhere to be seen either.

He said three. He was correct. Even spurs have put the nonsense ones under "other honours"
I was close to giving up my ticket last summer, this season was going to be my last, but ETH has changed my mind and I renewed a couple of weeks ago.

i'm in my 26th year and feel much like you at a different club.
The last couple seasons i've felt like throwing it in (even the cl winning year)as with a young family, the cost, the travel, the constantly having to work around it and organise around games was becoming tiresome.
It really is a sacrifice going to football and a lot of dedication is needed. Add that to rising costs, footballers who live on another planet and the loss of what use to be a working mans sport and it has become a slog.
I find myself liking less and less players and think there's less maverick and enjoyable players from all teams nowadays to really justify the sacrifice.
Falling out of love with football somewhat, and that's before this years absolute mess of a season.

Good post Nick. I can relate to a lot of what you said and it’s 26 years as a ST holder for me but sometimes it feels about as enjoyable as going to work to go to Football and I can also understand why many Spurs fans may also feel the same way. Going these days is just isn’t as enjoyable as it used to be.

Absurd. Completely absurd.
Let's see where Poch ends up shall we. Even if he doesn't get the Madrid job, he'll go somewhere else, be appreciated and will storm it. We don't deserve him.
Judging by the latest reports, we're looking at Luis Enrique which, for me, is the one appointment I think that continues the utter, utter misery train we've been on for the last four years. When the feck will Levy ever learn. He's thinking of appointing him on the strength of the treble he won at Barca with Messi, Suarez and Neymar up top. Jesus effin' christ! Maybe, Daniel, don't look at what he achieved at Barca as a barometer for what he could do on a budget at Spurs. Maybe, just maybe, we should be focusing on the utter shiiitshow he oversaw at Roma and underwhelmed again at Celta Vigo.
If we end up with him, I really am done with the club.
Gave up my season ticket this season and not missed it at all. Have been watching my local semi pro rugby and football teams this season and I've much preferred it.
Love the community feel and the fact the players and fans are just there for the love of the game. Nobody gets booed, people just enjoy the game with a couple of pints. Also, nice to be able to walk to the ground and not worry about train strikes/engineering works.
Even when spurs get their act together I don't think I'll ever be interested in a season ticket again. Have really fallen in love with grass roots sport.

How long were you supporting Spurs before you gave up on them? Did you just purchase a season ticket because of two or three years of CL football, or have you had one for 20/30/40 years?

I didn't say they were rubbish 100 years ago. Just pointing out that Spurs only won three trophies from 1882 until 1960. That did not stop 70,000 crowds turning up at WHL during those years.
You are moaning constantly because Spurs haven't won anything for a few years. Get a grip fella.

He also said he is not interested in Spurs anymore. So sounds like a fair weather supporter to me. Plenty of those around. Usually turn up when a team gets to a cup final, and regular match day supporters then never get a ticket.

Sandy as you know I have been going the Bridge for 42 years and consistently going during the crap days we had in the 70’s and 80’s but I can honestly say that it was more fun then than it is now. Style of football might be something to do with it. Watching centre backs passing it backwards and forwards to each other is boring and it wasn’t like that back in our days. It is a pet hate of mine and all the prem sides seem to be doing it.

Summer, I agree modern football is not as good as it used to be on all these billiard ball pitches, and players just running about like headless chickens, every game seems the same, bloody pass, pass, pass go nowhere stuff. I meant more for the buzz of being at the stadium with fellow supporters, and still enjoying the day or evening out.

What also annoys me is the amount of breaks everytime a player hits the deck the game gets stopped.
Especially when they start taking it in turns to go down tactically just to get the game stopped and break up the other teams rhythm 😡
Sandy even the buzz in the stadium’s are not what they used to be. Our ground was rocking against Dortmund but most weeks unless you’re playing a rival Club like Spurs it’s sterile and flat.

Summer, yes you do get a lot of tourists at all games these days, and atmosphere after kick off can be flat, with fans more interested in selfies than actually watching the game, but the hard core supporters are still there to give some atmosphere. But atmosphere at Spurs has never been as good as the 60s, 70s and early 80s was in my opinion, but I still enjoy going.

This isn’t Tottenham Hotspur. This is Enic. They chose to create an atmosphere of business and customer rather than club and fan. They prioritise commercial interests over football every time and that is what has lead to the separation many feel from the club.
Any feelings of glory and hope are just pure nostalgia now. Levy has only got the manager choice right three times in 23 years and he sacked all three.

There was no league championship until 1889 and no competition between 1916 - 1919 or 1940 - 1946, so it`s actually 61 years
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FA Cup was around in 1882, so if you want to be pedantic and take out the war years, that would be 69 years, although there were wartime cup competitions in the 2nd world war. Just not the FA Cup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Justifying the absolute sh 1 t sh0w that has been Enic over the last 23 years by saying spurs were rubbish 100 years ago, is everything that’s wrong with this club
absolutely no ambition.
To dare is to do.

Serious question though Sandy and I want a yes or no answer.
Are we better now than we were under Poch?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When Poch left Spurs were like 13th, ad are now 5th. So better.
Seriously though I don't get the love in for Poch. He has barely worked since he left Spurs, and don't you think any of the big boys would have come in for him before now. He has been available long enough.
The idea that Real Madrid would hire him if Antellote left is pure fantasyland stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On 14pts with Sheffield United being on 17pts in fifth.
12 games into a season. After a downer in the CL. Expected and now even more understandable given what has followed.

i'm in my 26th year and feel much like you at a different club.
The last couple seasons i've felt like throwing it in (even the cl winning year)as with a young family, the cost, the travel, the constantly having to work around it and organise around games was becoming tiresome.
It really is a sacrifice going to football and a lot of dedication is needed. Add that to rising costs, footballers who live on another planet and the loss of what use to be a working mans sport and it has become a slog.
I find myself liking less and less players and think there's less maverick and enjoyable players from all teams nowadays to really justify the sacrifice.
Falling out of love with football somewhat, and that's before this years absolute mess of a season.

Good post Nick. I can relate to a lot of what you said and it’s 26 years as a ST holder for me but sometimes it feels about as enjoyable as going to work to go to Football and I can also understand why many Spurs fans may also feel the same way. Going these days is just isn’t as enjoyable as it used to be.

Absurd. Completely absurd.
Let's see where Poch ends up shall we. Even if he doesn't get the Madrid job, he'll go somewhere else, be appreciated and will storm it. We don't deserve him.
Judging by the latest reports, we're looking at Luis Enrique which, for me, is the one appointment I think that continues the utter, utter misery train we've been on for the last four years. When the feck will Levy ever learn. He's thinking of appointing him on the strength of the treble he won at Barca with Messi, Suarez and Neymar up top. Jesus effin' christ! Maybe, Daniel, don't look at what he achieved at Barca as a barometer for what he could do on a budget at Spurs. Maybe, just maybe, we should be focusing on the utter shiiitshow he oversaw at Roma and underwhelmed again at Celta Vigo.
If we end up with him, I really am done with the club.

Gave up my season ticket this season and not missed it at all. Have been watching my local semi pro rugby and football teams this season and I've much preferred it.
Love the community feel and the fact the players and fans are just there for the love of the game. Nobody gets booed, people just enjoy the game with a couple of pints. Also, nice to be able to walk to the ground and not worry about train strikes/engineering works.
Even when spurs get their act together I don't think I'll ever be interested in a season ticket again. Have really fallen in love with grass roots sport.

How long were you supporting Spurs before you gave up on them? Did you just purchase a season ticket because of two or three years of CL football, or have you had one for 20/30/40 years?

I didn't say they were rubbish 100 years ago. Just pointing out that Spurs only won three trophies from 1882 until 1960. That did not stop 70,000 crowds turning up at WHL during those years.
You are moaning constantly because Spurs haven't won anything for a few years. Get a grip fella.

What difference does it make how long he had it?

Summer, I have been going to WHL for 63 seasons, and I enjoyed going Saturday as I did my first match 63 years ago, even though Spurs lost. You take the rough with the smooth us my motto.

He also said he is not interested in Spurs anymore. So sounds like a fair weather supporter to me. Plenty of those around. Usually turn up when a team gets to a cup final, and regular match day supporters then never get a ticket.

Sandy as you know I have been going the Bridge for 42 years and consistently going during the crap days we had in the 70’s and 80’s but I can honestly say that it was more fun then than it is now. Style of football might be something to do with it. Watching centre backs passing it backwards and forwards to each other is boring and it wasn’t like that back in our days. It is a pet hate of mine and all the prem sides seem to be doing it.

Summer, I agree modern football is not as good as it used to be on all these billiard ball pitches, and players just running about like headless chickens, every game seems the same, bloody pass, pass, pass go nowhere stuff. I meant more for the buzz of being at the stadium with fellow supporters, and still enjoying the day or evening out.

What also annoys me is the amount of breaks everytime a player hits the deck the game gets stopped.

Especially when they start taking it in turns to go down tactically just to get the game stopped and break up the other teams rhythm 😡

Sandy even the buzz in the stadium’s are not what they used to be. Our ground was rocking against Dortmund but most weeks unless you’re playing a rival Club like Spurs it’s sterile and flat.

Summer, yes you do get a lot of tourists at all games these days, and atmosphere after kick off can be flat, with fans more interested in selfies than actually watching the game, but the hard core supporters are still there to give some atmosphere. But atmosphere at Spurs has never been as good as the 60s, 70s and early 80s was in my opinion, but I still enjoy going.
