Spurs respects

We are proud of our superb and loyal support at home and away.

We recognise that most supporters want to watch a football match and not listen to abusive or indecent language from the stands. Discriminatory behaviour, including racist, homophobic, sexist or anti-disability shouting, chanting or actions, is unacceptable.

If you witness incidents like these, please report them to your nearest steward.

The Club reserves the right to indefinitely ban supporters found guilty of using discriminatory language.

Supporters collecting tickets can do so from the away ticket office next to the visitors’ section entrance. Duplicate tickets must be requested by emailing ticket.office@tottenhamhotspur.com.

Flags and banners

Supporters wishing to display a flag or banner in the visitors’ section are asked to seek permission from Middlesbrough in advance by emailing yvonne.ferguson@mfc.co.uk with a photo of the flag and its Fire Safety Certificate, along with its dimensions.

Flags and banners must not obstruct the views of others, cover advertising signs or cause a safety hazard. Nor may they display abusive or threatening words, images, political statements or be deemed unacceptable. Flag poles are not permitted. All flags and banners must carry a valid Fire Safety Certificate.

Supporters are also reminded of the Club’s own Flags and Banners Policy which is in effect at away matches.
