Like all Spurs fans we were extremely concerned by the disorder in and around the away end at last night’s game against Olympique de Marseille.
There are serious questions about how this was able to occur, the preparations and precautions taken and the response by stewards and police inside and outside the ground. Incidents like this should not occur and raise significant issues which require answers and must be addressed.
We have raised these issues and are seeking a detailed response from the Club and the Metropolitan Police.
Specifically, we have asked about policing, checks on fireworks/flares, segregation in the stadium, stewarding and the police response once disorder started. This includes a failure to respond to incidents and the concerns raised, failure of the police to take action on Olympique de Marseille fans' disorder outside the ground and the level and effectiveness of the stewarding.
We have also once again raised with the Club the pricing and ticketing arrangements for Champions League games and urged them to reconsider lower pricing for future matches and the availability of Ticket Share.
