IT IS THE first home game back of the Premier League season. Supporters flood to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium to watch a new era of football unfold under Ange Postecoglou, and should be heading inside early for a pie, a pint, and to soak up the atmosphere. 

Instead, fans of all ages gather outside of the ground on Tottenham High Road, collectively demonstrating in an attempt to force change. Their message to their club is clear: stop ticket price rises and stop exploiting the loyalty of fans.

The cost-of-living crisis continues to affect individuals and families across the nation, and post-Covid, people are understandably excited to get back to doing the things they love. However, due to noticeable price increases, more and more football fans are giving up their club memberships and match-day tickets, as they can no longer afford it.
