Oh please! I hope you don't mean that. I live in Southampton, my wife is from Southampton, our two daughters born and bred in Southampton and we are all ALBION fans. I trust that you are not inferring that we should all be Saints fans.
I don't have any.
I've got 3 sofas so i guess I'm not a fan of the armchair.

Don't they have a right to get ticket/s for Spurs away though?
If they pump money into our club, being ST Holders and/or Support History etc?
If the above mentioned people are genuine Spurs fans, it'll be a bit easier to get a ticket in the home end for a weekday League Cup game against little Brighton.

No, I'm suggesting that if they have any self respect the Southampton County Council will move to have you deported to Brighton immediately.
You lucky sod.

My daughter came home one night last year wearing her boyfriends Man Utd shirt. I waited for her to take it off and go to bed then made my hairy labrador wear it and run around the garden in the rain whilst filming it for her boyfriends facebook page. The shirt never entered the house again.
North of the home counties, on holidays / travels, have never met anyone with an interest in Spurs. Always, including SE England, tons of ManU and Liverpool fans, with lots of Arsenal and Chelsea fans in the south from the dozen-odd most recent years from having prominence at the top end of the PL and CL exposure.

Spurs didn't come anywhere near selling out against Forest so would have plenty of room for more fans. I doubt that they would need a 'history' to get a ticket in the home end.

They are still fans. Just not supporters.

But they would need to move their arse. Which is the OPs point I believe.

I've a friend who lives in Sussex and is a Spurs fan, but he does try to get to as many matches as his job allows. He does also join his girlfriend (who is an Albion fan) to games at the Amex.
Their house is going to be interesting that evening.

Her point is that she thinks they will be taking 'proper fans' tickets in the away end. That's where loyalty points come in.
If they've been to enough Brighton games to get enough loyalty points, then they're not armchair fans.

I know far too many Brighton born Spurs fans, and seen so many comments that look like this, appear on FB and Twitter overnight :
'oh cool, Spurs v Brighton. Wish it was at the Amex though, cause then I would go and watch it.'
I know at least 4 who have never even been to North London in their life.
I have a feeling we might find many occasional Brighton/Armchair Spurs fans taking up space in the Away end when we play the game. This is going to be irritating.
People support teams for all sorts of reasons. Just because people don't go to games, it doesn't make them any less of a fan.
You don't need a supporter history to get a ticket at spurs. I've been to see them twice in the last 3 years and just signed up and bought a ticket - no questions asked. It'll be easier for them to do that.

Stay off FaceBook and Twitter and you won't be pissing your pants every five minutes about stuff that doesn't matter.
