That's nice of them. Not the brightest move given some of the stereotyping linked to them!!

The same with Arsenal. To be fair if you've paid a premium price I suppose there has to be benefits.

Yes can't see any issue with this. They will want to maximum their revenue and if numbers are restricted, then why not get in the ones that pay the most for their ticket. Makes good business sense.

It would have been a shame seeing all those prawn sandwiches going to waste.

It makes perfect logical sense, but it is still a bit of an unnecessary PR gaffe. Could have easily been masked with some kind of ballot for longest serving season ticket holders or key workers getting some preferential treatment/place in a ballot too.

That's fine if their only goal is to maximise revenue. Don't understand clubs at their level only having this as a their only criteria though.

There's a reason why most businesses don't have active fans forums.

If you were to ask, what would a typical Levy response be, this would be it. £££ over anything.

It's like when he furloughed staff. PR disaster.

Why not open it up to the 4,000 longest serving supporters or those who travel the furthest or spend the most on travel on top off their expensive ticket prices? Maybe supporters who do most for the community?

These types of decisions show how elitist football is as the highest payers are corporates.

Not sure maximising travel to deliver covid friendly football and is going to wash.

Go and think about what you’ve done.

It makes financial sense. Whether that should be seen as logical or ethical for a sport that’s been founded on working class fans is another issue. Inevitable may be the best description.

One article said that Spurs' premium / corporate members had to pay in full for this season in March. I'm guessing they'd expect a bit of preferential treatment for that!

Even so, it's just another nail in the coffin of football and football league fanbases as they used to be before the Prem came along to turn clubs into global business corporations.
