If anyone hasnt seen?so far in the couple of hours much disgruntled comment on social media over the pricing,when I say much,I mean quite a lot!!I havent seen one positive comment yet TBH.
Some of the negativity towards the club and implicit in that Levy, is I think unfair sometimes. Of course we would all like to watch our distinguished heroes for less money and have subsidised travel, because it's a bit of a nuisance getting to Wembley, and all the other gripes that affect fans individually. But consider this - we have been at WHL for 118 years, the club are trying to deliver a state of the art 61,000 seat stadium, at the forefront of technology with sliding pitches, Sky walks and affordable hotels and housing, creating jobs and regenerating an area ignored by successive councils and governments.
So in the overall scheme of things I say hats off to the club, there will be thousands of people grumpy, but there are likely to many more that recognise the huge difficulties and complexities of delivering a project of this size and scale, which btw all needs financing.
It's sometimes very easy to criticise and the club and Levy will make mistakes. But put yourself on their position and try and come up with a feasible plan that works for all, including the long term health of the club. It ain't easy and I think Levy, judging by his comments throughout his tenure is a fan as well as a Chairman (could be just brilliant PR of course). Of course there are dual longer term objectives, for the growth and strength of the club, being able to compete at Europes top table and ENIC making a stash of money. The whole project has to make commercial sense as well, like it or not - remember Leeds United and there are other clubs like Valencia that have half built stadiums.
The club are delivering enormous change not only on the football pitch but for a depressed area of London. We should be celebrating the bravery of another first from Spurs, not criticising every detail. That's the sort of stuff a lot of people thrive on in another place.
For me from Kent WHL is much easier than wembley,I think some will be more inconvinienced,others its a winner for them,selling out the stadium is going to be hard for many games especially midweek.Personally i dont mean to crusade cos im really not affected ATM,but if this structure for Levy`s pricing works at wembley (I mean sell outs),what is going to be charged in NWHL?
