Fill Our Home Find Our Voice
Our campaign to help more young supporters attend matches, especially in the South Stand, restoring it to the wall of sound it was designed to be, has been well received by fans and the media. We expect to hear from the Club on the specific proposals at the Fan Advisory Board meeting on 8 December.
The Trust continues to fight for a better deal for seniors, to achieve a reversal to the draconian changes to ticket share and to stop the erosion of the gold cup scheme through over regimented ejection when an issue arrives with saved payment cards.
However, the focus of this campaign is young supporters – the ones who will be there in decades to come and will help us find our voice.
It’s not too late to get involved. We would love to hear from you if you’ve been affected by the lack of availability of young adult concessions, the difficulty getting seats together or if you think it’s unfair that you can’t buy young adult and child tickets on the exchange (of course it is!)
Please send us your story here. Thank you to everyone who has already joined in – you’ll have seen many stories featured on social media over the weekend. We are keen to reflect the full diversity of our fan base and would especially love to hear from families and from supporters of all backgrounds.
Stadium atmosphere
We believe that the Fill Our Home, Find Our Voice six-point plan will also really help to build a lively and positive atmosphere. Obviously, the main requirement is results on the pitch, but unfortunately, that is beyond our sphere of influence, and we have to focus on areas that we can influence. We all know it’s been tough to watch and stay positive during Premier League games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025. We all want the team to win, and we continue to work with the Club and other fan groups, including Return of the Shelf and THFC Flags, to explore ways to improve the atmosphere around the stadium. Everyone is committed to ensuring match days are the best possible environments for fans and players, and to being the 12th man, helping the team towards ultimate glory.
Meet the Spurs Journalists – date announced
Monday 9 February 2026 is the date for our annual Meet the Spurs Journalists event. Last year it sold out for members only, so make a note in your calendar and watch for the invite in our next newsletter. As always, there’s sure to be plenty to discuss—let’s hope one of the topics is a successful transfer window!
Last year’s event
Your Supporters Trust needs you!
Can you help shape the future direction for THST? Do you have a passion for standing up for the interests of Spurs supporters? Do the Club’s decisions on ticketing, pricing, and matchday arrangements affect you? We are looking for volunteers to join the board and help us remain the independent voice of Spurs supporters to THFC.
We are committed to making our board as representative of our fanbase as possible. We would particularly welcome nominations from women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, those with disabilities and people from the LGBTQ+ community. The nomination form can be found here.
AGM – advance notice
We will be electing new board members at our forthcoming Annual General Meeting, which will be taking place at CMS Cannon Place at 7 pm on Monday, 2 February 2026. We encourage all members to take part.
The formal Convening Notice will be sent via email to all Full and Life Members shortly. Full details can be found on our AGM web page, which will be available when the notice is sent out and continually updated. Ahead of each AGM, one third of the Trust Board resigns, with those Board members permitted to seek re-election by the membership, if desired. This year, Michael Green, Jo Gibbons and Rachel Martin will resign their posts. Full and Life Members are invited to consider nominating themselves for election to the Board. Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact the Trust Officers for a preliminary discussion before preparing their nomination.
New Sonny Mural
When our legendary, Europa League-winning captain, Sonny, left for Los Angeles, the Trust asked the Club to commemorate his time at Spurs through a statue or mural and to arrange an opportunity of some sort for the fans to say a proper goodbye. We wanted fans to have the chance to show him our love and gratitude for all he has given to our Club, the incredible goals, the victory in Bilbao and for the exemplary behaviour and attitudes he has always shown.
It’s fair to say that we were pushing on an open door, and we were pleased to have been able to contribute, as part of the Fan Advisory Board, to the new Sonny mural on Tottenham High Road, which is set to be completed by 9 December. Sonny will also be attending the match against Slavia Praha on the same day.
The mural is a great way to celebrate the lasting legacy Sonny has left at Spurs. It was Sonny himself who chose the design from a shortlist of four provided by the brilliant MurWalls, and the match itself. We cannot wait to see him.
Football Supporters Association Premier League network meeting
Trust representatives attended an FSA PL Network meeting on 20th November. The network brings together representatives from trusts and other fan organisations to share concerns and experiences in dealing with their own clubs and to coordinate activity under FSA campaigns.
A key concern has been the ever-increasing cost of attending PL matches, manifested, amongst others, by ticket prices increasing above the rate of inflation, the erosion of concessions and the costs imposed by short-notice movement of matches for television. The FSA has consequently launched a ‘Protect the Fans, Protect the Game’ campaign, which follows last year’s ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ protests. The centrepiece of the campaign is a call for a 2-year freeze on ticket prices, to match the remaining time on the current TV contract.
Over 100 supporter organisations from all 20 PL clubs are backing the campaign. Alongside the Trust, Proud Lilywhites, Spurs REACH, SpursAbility, Women of the Lane, Save Our Seniors, and Change For Tottenham have all signed up. The Trust has subsequently written to Vinai Venkatesham to highlight the campaign and urge Tottenham to agree to the two-year freeze. The campaign will be raised at the next meeting of the FAB, and further activity can be expected as we head into the period when ticket prices are determined for 2026-27.
Further information about the campaign can be found here.
Concerns were also raised about the movement of matches by the TV companies, with particular anger about the increasing use of the 8 pm Saturday slot, as well as concerns from some club representatives about their team being picked frequently for a specific slot (they are supposed to be shared around) and the trend towards midweek games kicking off at 8.15 pm and the resultant impact on travel home. Members of the FSA Broadcast working group will raise these issues at a forthcoming meeting with the PL.
Other areas discussed included fan engagement following a meeting of the PL and representatives from FAB groups, and an update on the ongoing establishment of the Independent Football Regulator.
Independent Football Regulator (IFR)
The IFR is currently consulting on a new “licensing” regime. Briefly, the regulator will undertake a process to grant a preliminary licence to professional football clubs. Without this, clubs cannot operate.
The board has agreed and submitted a detailed response to this consultation, which we would be happy to share with any members upon request. Whilst the board broadly supports the new regulator, we are keen to ensure that the licensing process is not seen as a “rubber-stamping” exercise. We are also keen to ensure the IFR protects the interests of supporters in the decisions it makes. In particular, we would like the IFR to acknowledge that football clubs may hold considerable sums of supporters’ money on account for season tickets or matches that have not taken place. We would not want to see supporters’ monies placed at risk by decisions the IFR takes in relation to licensing.
Bobby Buckle unveiling
On Thursday, 27 November, ‘The Spur’ restaurant along the N17 High Road was the setting for the unveiling of the Bobby Buckle timeline and a chance to reminisce about our humble beginnings.
Bobby Buckle was one of a handful of founding schoolboys and lived just a couple of hundred yards from the restaurant in White Cottage – Now 7 White Hart Lane, which you will no doubt have passed many times on a matchday.
The unveiling was well attended by the great-grandson of Buckle as well as club officials and fellow former students from Buckle’s Tottenham Grammar School.
Look out next time you visit N17 for this fantastic local initiative and wonderful homage to such an important figure in our club’s history.
Our Little Hour – Discussion with Ledley King
Show Racism the Red Card is excited to announce that international sporting stars Ledley King and Chris Lewis (International Cricketer of the Year 1992) will join a post-show discussion at Greenwich Theatre on Thursday 5 February, following the evening performance of Our Little Hour—the acclaimed musical about Spurs legend Walter Tull.
King, who made 323 appearances for Spurs and represented England 21 times, and Lewis, celebrated as a leading voice for racial equality in sport, will share reflections on Tull’s legacy. Lewis said he was “delighted to be part of a production celebrating the life story of Walter Tull—an inspiration to generations of Black British citizens.”
Praised as “intensely moving” and “utterly compelling,” Our Little Hour tells the extraordinary story of Tull, the first Black footballer to play at the highest level of the UK game and the first man of his heritage to be commissioned as a British Army officer. Written by Dougie Blaxland with music by Chris Anthony, the production blends 16 original songs with a poetic script to illuminate Tull’s remarkable life.
Tickets for the Greenwich Theatre are available via here.
