The supporter-led protest is underway at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

It’s underway. After weeks of planning, there is a supporter-led protest happening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, one day before Spurs’ home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow.

The fans are following the lead of supporters at Manchester United, Liverpool, and other fans of the six Premier League clubs that attempted to break away and form a super league a few weeks ago. In interviews with a few fans currently outside the stadium, that seemed to be the biggest thing that was on their minds as they protested the current ownership of the club.

However, and predictably, while the Super League was the catalyst for this particular protest, it has snowballed and some of the complaints being aired now encompass a lot more than just the attempt to break away from UEFA. In fact, you could say it’s just the last item on what some fans think is a long list of grievances, many of which are... uh... a little contradictory. Take a look at this banner, which manages to capture both “billionaires out of my club” and also “spend some fucking money Levy” in one piece of cloth.

Pretty comprehensive list! I particularly enjoy the “Red Fucking Sponsors” and “Darude” bullets. (Come on, “Sandstorm” was great fun this season.)

All jokes aside, fans have a right to be angry. While the relationship between the supporters and the ENIC-led ownership group has always more or less existed in a perpetual state of balanced tension, the Super League gave that whole dynamic a violent shove, and this was the natural result. Tottenham has already promised fan representation on the Board of Directors going forward, which is a huge shift from the status quo, and we’ll see whether today’s protest has any further effect. Take a look at some of the photos of the protest below.
