Not for me. I sold yesterday's ticket and the Brighton one. Will probably sell the Liverpool one, as that will be embarrassing if we go out with yesterday's attitude.

I'm not enjoying the style of play so will be going a lot less now.

Sold my ticket for Brighton as I'd rather spend Xmas with my kids and family than go to football. I never go to boxing day games. I am so out of love with Spurs it's unreal. But il kepr going back and moaning about it

I still get drawn back to watching on tv....but have lost a lot of passion for going to live games - I still haven't even visited the new stadium.

Think it's a combination of life getting in the way (wife, kids, work) but also after the highs of Spurs chasing the title and playing exhilarating football a couple years ago, it's been much less inspiring to watch in general - even factoring in the CL run etc.

Boredom?
Habit?

Honestly mate, how long you been going, I have seen far worse teams than the current one. Supporting a club is more than just watching a winning team.

I hate watching football on TV, even at my age. I much prefer to be at a match. Absolutely no comparison to being at a ground, than having that Sky mob waffling on absolutely nonsensical. If I watch on TV or stream in the match, the sound is always down. I sometimes put the volume up at H/T just to listen to how much rubbish they spout.

You really shouldn`t have a season ticket, give it up and let somebody on the waiting list have it.

I am 30, have had a season ticket for the majority of the time since around 7/8. I am not fussed at all about winning, but I like to see us play football. Only other time I felt like this was with AVB who sucked all life out of the club.

Would be far happier if we had Wilder or Potter than Jose.

yeah I'm no fan of the commentators/pundits most of the time, and agree that the live atmosphere at a game can't be beaten.

I feel like the dour football under Poch towards the end played a part in my loss of enthusiasm. Hoping that'll change but José doesn't have a reputation for the most exciting brand of football going....

Things will need to change a lot before I go again, refuse to pay good money to watch that dross , have become a armchair viewer, even that is difficult, you dont need to go to every game to be a supporter Sandy, for me it's a 4 or 5 hour round trip

I get you Sandy and to be fair I know its a fickle opinion I have. Iv been a ST holder for 7 years and been going regularly for about 15 years. Been a supporter for 30 years (I'm 37 now).

I think I liked us more when there was no expectation. Now we have a decent squad that persistently fails, I feel less passionate. Or negative perhaps.

Sandy,

Both you and I have been supporting Spurs for well over 60 years now, so I think we have seen extreme highs followed by some very extreme and awful lows between us.

I could never think of supporting another professional team, once you have picked your team you have to live with it whatever happens.

This does not mean you cannot appreciate it when another team plays well or someone scores a great goal

Had season tickets for decades now, and will always have them because it’s part of my life.

I go week in week out with my old man because we love football, and the club I support represents the area I was born and live in.

Win, lose or draw, it’s always worth watching your team play, and there will never be a tv or streaming service that beats being there live in the stadium. Magic.

I get it is very expensive, but you never really know what sort of a game is going to be played until the end of each match. No two games are ever the same.

It seems like it’s been all rough since I started supporting us in 1990
