Tottenham fans urged to make protest against Luton

Tottenham fans are being encouraged to turn their backs when attending their weekend clash with Luton Town.

The Save our Seniors group have invited the action as a protest against next term's season ticket prices.

The group stated: "THFC is turning its back on some of its most loyal fans, the over 65s, by withdrawing senior concessions. We need to show these are not the values of our club. So we are asking everyone to turn their backs on the pitch on 65:00 for one minute.

"We are Save our Seniors, a group of Spurs fans who want the club to reverse its decision to cut and then withdraw concessionary pricing for fans over 65. The club does not need the money this change would raise. It already generates 4.8m every match day.

"This is a choice to penalise some of our most loyal fans. It is morally wrong. And it shames the proud traditions of our club. We aim to organise visual and effective action to get the THFC board to restore concessionary pricing for seniors. That is our focus, our one and only focus."

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust chairman Martin Buhagiar told football.london: "We are not surprised by the outrage from supporters following the club's announcement and the changes to the senior concessions season ticket packages.

"Indeed we warned the club of exactly this reaction during our meetings. We have been inundated with personal stories from supporters left devastated by the changes and are highlighting as many as we can via our social media channels.

"SaveOurSeniors was launched as a result of these changes and we fully support the campaign and initiative. Football fans are stronger when they come together and this illustrates that perfectly."
