6% ticket rise in these inflationary times is nothing. I’ve been a Spurs fan since 1960 if you want to talk about ticket prices rising!! Some quick observations> Being a Spurs fan has been one of the greatest gifts in my life. Daniel Levy has done more long term good than any other owner in my lifetime. Although I love all the Spurs teams:Women,Prem 2, Under 18,Youth,Pre season teams and love it when we win something. It is only the Mens first team I am passionate about. Now the FA Cup and League cup are essentially reserve team competitions they are no more trophies than a pre season cup. So for me the goals are Prem, Top 4,Europe and great attacking football. Thats it. COYS Doiu Pringle
