One Team Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) I’ve just seen this from Spurs, refunding fans after their performance and result at Newcastle. It was awful, clearly, but surely watching a shit game and woeful performance now and then is part and parcel of supporting your team home and away. Isn’t that part of what makes the great games and great results great; that from time to time we endure absolute rubbish? Certainly we’ve had enough woeful performances over the years, and I do recall refunds of CATS travel costs once or twice, but I’m not sure how this sits with me. Isn’t the better gesture from your team’s players is to apologise, move on and then put in a performance in the very next game?

Might have been a more worthwhile gesture of the players said, 'You turned up, we didn't' our appearance fees will be donated to charity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Still baffled by this, have to be honest. They lost to a team in 4th, who are 6 points ahead of them. Yes, they lost by a fair bit, but should all players who are on side that lose to higher placed opposition weight in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I think communicated apologies from 'players' (the teams PR dept) doesn't exactly mean anything (i don't see it as a sincere form of apology from footballers). I doubt that will motivate players to improve performances either. Not sure a refund is the answer either though but at least its a tangible response to the fans that were there. Can't see that motivating players to improve performances though given how much they make (i dont the refund costs really dent the wallets of the collective wages i would've thought).

Agree, a bit patronising really, I'm sure the players mean well but they would be better saying that the squad is going to pay for all away travel for every game going forward as a proper gesture to away fans if they want to do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 Had to laugh at Gary Neville commentating against Liverpool . After 20 mins he said that” Spurs players would have to set up a direct debit to the fans at this rate “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
