Amsterdam Spurs: Official Supporters Club of Tottenham Hotspur

We, The Amsterdam Spurs Supporters Club, feel like the values and competitive spirit of the club are not being met with entry to the “European Super League”.

This rogue league embodies all things that are currently wrong with the fantastic game of football.  The love and passion that the fans have for the club and game are being sold, as owners and board members want to generate more money for themselves. This is not what we believe football should be about and we will not stand for it.

One of the moments that prove that beauty and spirit surrounding the game came in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Due to the current pandemic, Marine AFC missed out to sell out their ground and all the merchandise to go with it. For a club like Marine, this was the much needed finance to keep the future of the club safe for a few seasons. Jamie Carragher sponsored the match and Spurs fans bought virtual tickets to help this club in need.

Another one is that our neighbor, Leyton Orient, was also struggling with their finances. Once again that spirit was shown by fans and Harry Kane, all chipping in to ensure their existence.

For these reasons we feel very strongly that the club should rethink its stance on this subject.

Tottenham Hotspur is a football club with a proud history of pride and inclusiveness. Amsterdam Spurs leadership commit to embodying the spirit of the parent club in all our decisions and actions.

Amsterdam Spurs are committed to providing an experience that is safe and enjoyable for everyone and also respectful to our home pubs (primarily O’Reilly’s and Regular and Jack’s).

While we encourage everyone to sing, chant, cheer, and be loud in support of Tottenham Hotspur FC, we also ask that everyone abide by the following Code of Conduct:

Amsterdam Spurs include members from a wide range of backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. Chants, songs, or comments directed at a person’s gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc. will not be tolerated.

Amsterdam and our pubs are the home of Amsterdam Spurs. We will treat the pubs as we would our own home. The staff of pubs are part of the Amsterdam Spurs family and should be treated as such.

No fighting or disorderly behaviour will be tolerated. Violators will be warned and then subsequently asked to leave. Chronic disruptive behaviour will result in a formal request to have an individual banned from the pub.

This applies to Amsterdam Spurs members, visiting Spurs supporters, and visiting supporters of other clubs.Since we are guests at our home pubs, all Amsterdam Spurs members should follow strict adherence to any request by the staff.

Regarding our online presence, and whilst we at Amsterdam Spurs encourage football related comments, jokes, memes, funnies and the like on our social media group (WhatsApp), we kindly ask you to keep it civil. That means refraining from using our social media to post or display comments that are:

1. vulgar

Strange game to find on TV here in The Netherlands but we’ll be going to Cocos Outback on Rembrandtplein. Kick-off a spritely 18:00.

A september kick off for the premier league and we’re going to be starting what will no doubt also be an odd season against Everton on Sunday. We’re meeting in Regular and Jack’s for the 17:30 kickoff. Obey all the COVID rules.

We’ll be in Regular and Jack for the game this week at 19:00. If you’re coming let us know. Obey all Dutch COVID-19 rules

Amsterdam Spurs not only watch football together and go to matches, but we also are dedicated athletes (well sometimes). Nonetheless, we have designed some a cycling shirt and a running shirt which are now available for order. These are custom made by a company here in The Netherlands and have been branded with Amsterdam Spurs logos. Each shirt is having an involutary 2.50 EUR added as a donation to Noah’s Ark Foundation in North London.

Each shirt has White Hart Lane, N17 on the right arm, and the three St Andrew’s Crosses from the coat of arms of Amsterdam on the left arm. On the reverse is our club logo, 1882 (for obvious reasons) and “the Game is about Glory” on the back. Additionally, the cycling shirts have three pockets on the back.

Cycling shirts:

35 EUR + 2.50 EUR donation per shirt

Running shirts:

25 EUR + 2.50 EUR donation per shirt

This is a labour of love not a commercial enterprise so please bear it in mind 😊

Dear all, in these rather unexpected times, remember that all of us here meet-up, virtually, in-person, at White Hart Lane or at an away day because we are all supporters of Spurs.

We’re all part of the same team, and in the next few weeks everyone is going to have to act as a team with their family, friends, loved ones, neighbours, and people you don’t even know yet.

Our supporters club and all of it’s members are part of this team. In the next few weeks, whilst we hope it may not be necessary, the commitee of Amsterdam Spurs would like to ask us all to pull together and if anything is needed by anyone, let’s use each other. Send a message to the Whatsapp group, post something on social media, give someone a call, wear your Spurs shirt and reach out.

Soon enough, we’ll be groaning at a missed goal, the wrong formation, or yet another injury, but for now Come On You Amsterdam Spurs

We’re all a little downheartened but the show must go on, we’ll be in Regular and Jack for the Burnley match, upstairs in our spot on Saturday evening.

We will be in O’Reilly’s for the game on Wednesday at 20:45 against Norwich in the FA Cup

On Sunday against Wolves we’re not on a lot of TV channels, plus on at the same time as a number of big games and during build up to the league cup final . So if you want to watch it, head to Regular and Jack in the downstairs area (it will be a stream, without sound).

Normal service to resume next week against Norwich
