Agreed! Castration a step too far?! ;-)

I really hope the club takes them down; this derivative Dom Joly style b*llshit was mildly amusing 15 years ago. It's just f*cking pathetic now. Sadly, it's pretty much what passes for culture these days.

And with that sentence I have passed into middle age at 33 years old... :)
Welcome. We've got your slippers warming by the fire, and the crumpets are in the toaster. It's not so bad once you stop fighting and just embrace it. ;)

It's actually a totally unacceptable performance by our security. The first guy to respond was that guy in the suit. Now I'm assuming, given his attire, that he is our Head of Security. He seems to run around forever totally and completely alone with no support. Finally after what felt like a lifetime, he was joined by his staff. What the hell took them so long to respond? And even when there is a bunch of them, there's no catch tactics whatsoever, they're just running around, so farcically, no organisation, like a pile of lads pissed coming out of Piccadilly fucking Circus! And a circus is exactly what it was. Look at 1:39. That is just a comically, outrageously, PATHETIC catch up effort by that steward, like he's going for a light jog on a sunday bloody morning. Does he even take his job seriously? Our club surely has to look at that response and ask if it was good enough. For me, it was nowhere even close.



That's what I just said, only summarised.
Sadly I've never mastered Photoshop, however, if I had I would be grafting Spurs steward bibs on shots of the Keystone Cops as we speak.

By passing to UEFA - it's inevitible they will charge us along the lines of "unable to control own fans" when in fact they weren't our fans at all.

What I'm getting at is that anyone can get hold of a ticket via StubHub. No need to be a supported of the club, just Joe Bloggs who's looking to get away with a prank or two.
Previously tickets were resold on the club website, but you had to have a Client Reference Number to buy them.
If you aren't on the club's database (either as previously being a member, or ticket purchaser) then you shouldn't be sold a ticket.

Just not sure what you mean by the word "passing." To me that implies 'passing the buck' LOL and I'm sure we won't we doing that. And you seem pretty certain that we'll be charge anyway. And I'm still not sure why you think that stubhub is the only thing facilitating non supporter ticket sales. Anyone can walk into our ticket office and get a ticket. You don't need to proove you're a supporter. How would someone do that?

Who's at fault? Who would you suggest comes into our security team? Take it you think it's missing pace and a bit of youth. Or do you think a new head of security could give the team a bit more organisation, and therefore that's where the changes should be made?
LOL, well absolutely, fit and able bodied men for starters! I mean, did you SEE the speed some of those jokers were moving? Not fuckin good enough I'm afraid. New Head of Security? I have no idea if the problem goes that deep lol. But he himself could start by hiring some proper men.

Is it just me that finds the irony in the fact the photo the guardian uses here is actually of the second intruder, and I'm sure he's the one that owns trollstation!

I was sitting behind him

You pushed him onto the pitch....

Did you give him some abuse when he started his run?

Blinkin' hell, the thought has just ocurred that if unfortunate incidents unconnected to THFC in any way can occur at Archway Sheet Metal then Trollstation HQ could be next on the cards.

To be fair they couldn't have chosen a better ground to do it at. Excitement has been at a premium this season.

We grabbed him but he'd basically taken his hoody off so as we grabbed him he slipped out of it. He asked everyone around if he should do it, everyone said no, don't be a dick, and then he did it anyway!

I would suspect this is not the last we see of this. Not just at our ground but plenty of others too!

The problem is it is really easy to get on the pitch if you are really determined.

There seems to be a whole new breed of people who get their kicks from doing things like this for 15 mins of fame.

It reminds me of this...

Remember how we laugh when players slip and fall over? Even the referee slipped in last nights game. They are all wearing boots.

You trying running in shoes on wet grass and see how fast you can run.

The fault lies with the idiots who did it and not the security. I can promise you that they would have been able to do exactly the same at any stadium up and down our country. We, unlike many other countries, have the privilege of being able to watch games without fencing because 99.9% of the time people just wanna watch the game. Without those fences it is easy to get on the pitch.

I think the entire Spurs support at the return NLD should just walk out as one and mill about in the centre circle for half an hour or so.

Spot on...I was thinking of a well trained Lion that could be released if anyone gets on the pitch , or failing that I hear Roy Keanes not busy.

Yeah of course it is easy to get on. My post didn't say that security should be blamed for that. It was how they responded. I must admit, living in Australia, I did fail to take the wet surface into account. However, some of those guys were moving around ALOT slower than others. If they were all slow as fuck, I'd say you're onto something.

Bunch of dozy ****s that deserve to have the shit kicked out of them. Hopefully the club uses this as evidence that they aren't fans. But at the same time sack all the fat stewards, useless tossers that can't do their jobs.

This has nothing to do with StubHub. Anyone can get a ticket via the official site or the ticket office when it's on general sale. And if they couldn't, we wouldn't ever get a new fan going to the stadium.

You are talking solely about season tickets that aren't being used. That's a fraction of all available tickets. For tickets to high profile matches you'll have to be a member to get tickets also from StubHub.

Didn't someone like fhm or loaded pay fit birds to streak at every premier fixture years ago. I think it was opening or final day of the season or something. IIRC only 6 of the 10 did it, the others bottled it.
