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 or violent behaviour, including racist, homophobic, sexist or anti-disability shouting, chanting or actions, is unacceptable.

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

Emails should include a photo of the flag and its Fire Safety Certificate, along with its dimensions.

Flags and banners must be no larger than 2m x 1m and 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.
