i would firstly be upset that we would have lost our soul. then i would properly give it to chelsea fans as our club move far ahead of them.

i would give it to gooners but we are already better than them

I am already on record that if even arsenal were forced to sucumb to the sugar-daddy route that it would signal football is irrevicably broken, and i would find it exceedingly hard to have any interest in it.

It wouldn't be the club i love any longer, it'd be a rich man's plaything.

Arsenal charge the most for season tickets no? my mate has one at Arsenal and it costs him around £1300!

My old season ticket at Spurs cost £750!

You would maybe see a reduced amount in tickets, but City are something else!

By the way I'm not having a dig at City! just pointing out the obvious

I'd be amazingly Humble just like the Man City fans are on here!

Agree with Chronic.
Remember, we are mere fans who have no say in terms of day-to day running of the club. But we will always stand by our clubs regardless.

---------------------------
unlike most clubs though, our ST's cover 25 games as 6 cup games are included. i'm not sure with spurs, but most are for league home games only.

THudd,

Our STs in the West Stand go up to £1480

I was asked this question a few years back when Roman & his roubles rolled into town. Back then, I despised the though of our great club going that way - Billy Nich would turn in his grave!

But the way things are nowadays, football is as good as dead so why not

I wouldn't be happy but to compete it might have to come.

I wouldn't be happy about it but as with anything that happens to the club I'd have to accept it and carry on supporting. Whilst I'd enjoy the success I don't think I'd enjoy it anyway near as much as I would have otherwise.

I doubt I'd be getting at any of the other fans on here either

But we will always stand by our clubs regardless.

Agree with you there! I would stand by my club! but as fans there is a way to act! yes you are one of the best teams in the country! but at what cost!?

I was out in Reigate a few weeks back, and I saw a bloke in a City shirt!



And he was southern!!
Inflating player prices and wages! Adey was a struggle because of his wage demands! now he is here and playing he seems happy

Our STs in the West Stand go up to £1480

I would rather watch the highlights on MOTD than sit in the West Stand again

I was South Stand upper

I'm guessing one day we will have to accept this and let the money train roll in, I can't comment on the Financial fair play ruling as I haven't read up much about it yet

I wouldnt be happy about it either, but it IS only a matter of time before someone steps in and buys us, its not even an IF anymore, it will happen

I find it rather embarrassing the way City are celebrating right now, its almost as if they think they have achieved something with their spending power

I wouldnt be happy with it, but if it means the security for Spurs and also success, i dont really see any other option..but i would be humble with it

Could never stomach it.
Four generations of clan RDBD have been involved with or supported the superior Spurs.

We went to the brink, and spent 15 yrs recovering from it to be one of the minority clubs who were prudently run, to being so again.

This is a club that has history and tradition (good and bad) , football and financial. Now that both sides are good again, we will triumph the Spurs way.

I can take 5th place forever, as long as the football IS the Spurs way (FACT !!! ) .

The thing is clubs in the bottom half can just as easily level the money charges at Spurs e.g. Bolton.

It works both ways too!

p.s.Does City not have very reasonable ticket prices///

No different from cheating at your exams really.

I grew up watching Spurs during the late 90's and 2000's!!

We have always been carp! thats why I appreciate where we are today!

I think with a new stadium we can compete again! get us the 45k+ stadia

Not when we spend within our means and our debts are stable

"It's the struggle that makes the success feel good"

The RDBD had "project X" .
To get 250K in cash, and then semi-retire.
I got there in 2000. And then there was a period of emptiness.

And a colleague said to me :

What you've found out is that the journey was actually more important than the destination.

And so it is with Spurs 1991 to 2006.

what the fans of these sugar daddy clubs don't seem to be able to get their heads aroun d is the difference between spending money the club have earned and spending money given by a sugar-daddy.

Clubs can spend what they like as far as i'm concerend, as long as it's their money.

not big enough

I would enjoy the success, and enjoy being better than Arsenal / Chelsea etc but really I think the Billionaire Fantasy Football business plan detracts from the achievements.

For City, if you spend £400m on players, pay them what they want than all you then need is the right manager and no doubt you could attract that.....its not really a challenge. Its kinda like playing monopoly with friends but you starting off with 20 times the money of everyone else, you just buy anything you land on....guess who will win?!

I also think that approach leads to complacency amongst fans. They'll attract way more plastics, whereas a more organic growth over time will gradually win fans and friends, those who are impressed by the team, style, players. Those fans will often be the true, comiited fans rather than the glory hunter turning up becuase its the top ticket in town.

I'd hate our club to turn in to what I hate about football and football fans.

Success is not everything.....football is about emotion and losing evokes as much emotion as winning does....why do people turn up to football, there is only 3 domestic trophies and really only a handfuil of clubs have a chance but 100s of 1000s turn up every week regardless.

AND?????????????????

I am a City fan who now lives in Cleethorpes. My son was born in Manchester but has lived 4 or his 5 years in Cleethorpes. Should I force him to support Grimsby Town?

Some of you Spurs fans are such fking hypocrites. You gave us all kinds of abuse on the old 606 when you pipped us to 4th. If Spurs, Arsenal,Everton or any other club received the financial good fortune we have enjoyed, you would be absolutely chuffed to bits, so shove your collective piety and 'soul losing' (football clubs don't have souls) where the son don't shine
