Tottenham supporters are not revolutionary by nature and a balmy Saturday evening, alive with new-season optimism, was perhaps not the most conducive environment for unrest, particularly when Manchester United were in town.
Still, a group made their feelings known about rising ticket prices outside the ground before Saturday’s 2-0 win in a protest arranged by the club’s Supporters’ Trust. Organisers were split on whether the turnout represented a success, but agreed it was a promising start to an attempt to galvanise the fanbase against perceived boardroom exploitation.
