Lots of talk on Twitter of boycotting the MK Dons game. Have to say I can respect that. Bit sad we're willing to support the Franchise like this. Can't see what good it does us.


Spurs played them in a pre-season freindly 2 years ago, with some rumblings before that match but quite a few Spurs fans went, there was a decent crowd so expect the same.

Its a Spurs X1 game on 31 July @ 7.30.

Agreed. Scummy plastic club that any real football fan should be offended by the very existence of. Very disappointing to see us fill their coffers and give them greater claims to legitimacy by playing them voluntarily in pre-season.

A friendly with Espanyol (home) announced on Twitter their teasing an away fixture for late this afternoon. My guess is Porto or Madrid.

Not just a Spurs XI either - it's an MK Dons XI and they have stated they will use it for their youngsters and reserves.
As it's just up the road I'll decide on the day when we know more team news.

Looking at the Espanyol friendly as an option, particularly as a family ticket is only £40.

have we seriously not got a proper pre-season game at home?

I was hoping to take my son to his first spurs game this summer.

Just got my tickets for Espanyol. Hopefully a nice sunny August day. Late kick off which means more pub time

He's the same age as mine then. His favorite players are Bale and Benny, hopefully one of them will still be with us then.

Wonder if all kids are the same? My daughters 7 and her favourites are bale and benny too- genuinely think she will be gutted if they go.

Hope you both enjoy it- she has been a few times now and loves it, especially the chanting

Hope so mate I hope he enjoys the game where are you sitting?

He'll love it, and even if those two don't play I'll just tell him that one of the other players is his favourite and he'll go along with it. We're in the North Upper somewhere. I went for the family package so we get allocated seats somewhere in the family stand.

Ok I tried to get as close to the dugout as possible we are in block 11 third row from the pitch
