Introduce yourself!

Robxxx7 · 25-08-2006 10:10am #1

Great work Ronan on getting the board sorted ...

As a way of Introduction,

I have been a Spurs supporter since i was about 4 years old (37 years ago now) :eek: I have seen us through the good times and many many bad times ... didn't miss a game home or away in 1978 when we were in the old Division 2 ..

Anyway, i was born and brought up in Cricklewood North West London to Irish parents, and finally made the move back home 6 years ago ..so now i live just outside Killorglin in Co. Kerry ...

I had a season ticket for many years ..but i couldn't justify it as i was working a fair bit around Europe and couldn't get to many games ... so now i am a club Member ..
So i will try to get to as many games as i can this season, but for me family commitments, work and the usual stuff get in my way

but Tottenham are always in my heart and will be my first love (just don't tell the wife)

COYS

Moved your post here Rob, thought it was a good idea we all got to know each other. I'll post mine later.

that always makes me laugh. surely home is north london?

either way, ive been a supporter since i was 5, go to the occassional match, although the last one i went to was the 2-1 win over leeds about 3 years ago

therecklessone · 25-08-2006 12:35pm

Lunch time in work, Eurosport on the box...:D

Hi, I'm Ronan. 28 years of age, living in Dublin most of my life apart from 10 months in Shannon. Season ticket holder this year (my second), with a seat in Block 41 of the South Stand upper (Park Lane) but was a member before that for a couple of years.

First game I ever saw at the Lane was a 2-1 win over Leicester a couple of years ago sitting in the West Stand lower with my brother and uncle. Was a crap game...;)

Yep ..you would have thought so, but i spent so much time growing up in an Irish community in London and so much time growing up in Ireland, that i have never really felt part of being a Londoner...the best move i ever made was to move to Ireland. I feel a lot more part of everything ... I am also a big GAA football fan, and spend quite a bit of time training U8's and U10's teams here locally.

Andrew 83 · 25-08-2006 12:51pm

Again, fair play to Ronan on getting this set up.

I'm Andrew, I'm 23 and have been following Spurs since the 89/90 season whatever age I was then. I've only been to see Spurs three times, against Southampton, Everton, and United and the last was years ago!

Jamey · 25-08-2006 4:41pm

Hey, I'm Jamie, aged 18. Been following Spurs since I was about 3 or 4. Actually haven't been to the Lane yet, but planning a trip in the future. I did once meet and have a good chat with Gary Mabbutt though!! Favourite players are Ian Walker, Jose Dominguez

, Chris Armstrong, Sheringham and Keano of course.

Running Bing · 25-08-2006 5:20pm

Alright lads. First of all fair play to Ronan for getting the forum approved(and anyone else who helped) its a brilliant idea. Im Jonathan. Im 20 and I live in Dublin. Ive been supporting spurs since I began supporting football aged 6 or 7. Ashamed to say that the only spurs game Ive been to was that shambolic mid season friendly against Bohs a few years ago but Im dying to get over to the lane soon. Fav player at the moment would have to be Defoe or Aaron Lennon but I think Berbatov is gonna be mighty and if he can bag us 20+ goals a season he'll be up there pretty soon. Best spurs memory would be the league cup in 1999 and the worst (there are many of them) would probably be the team getting the scutters on the last day of the season and losing out to a CL spot to the gooners of all people.

SuprSi · 25-08-2006 6:00pm

Great work Ronan, nice to have this on Boards. I'm Simon, been supporting Spurs since I can remember, sometime around the age of 7, thanks to my Dad's influence who is also a Spurs fan. I'm also ashamed to say that I've never been to a game though I hope to change that this season.

Living in Dublin and regularly go out to watch any available game in the locals as I don't have Sky Sports either!

Best recent Spurs memory was trashing Chelsea 5 - 1 in the League Cup, and the worst, apart from the heartache of the last game of the season and the surrounding controversy was losing to City 4 - 3 in the FA cup with a load of my non-soccer following mates, who then proceeded to slag me for ages.

therecklessone · 25-08-2006 7:34pm

Thanks fellas, the Admins deserve thanks as well, as does WWM who's helped out.

Welcome to Jamey who I've not been in touch with before, nice to see more interest. Keep on posting fellas, lets make this work.

Playboy · 25-08-2006 11:21pm

Great job Ronan

My name is Michael and I'm 26 years old and been following Spurs since the age of 6 or seven. I live in Galway atm but moving to London for a postgrad in September so I hope to get to the Lane as much as possible. Looking forward to meeting you guys and having a fantstic season. COYS !

KdjaCL · 25-08-2006 11:54pm

My name is Anthony and if i ever supported an English club it would be Spurs.
Mainly due to the fact the Match and Shoot i got back in the day (ie mid 80s) had Spurs everything i think i even had Spurs player posters on my wall no clue who they were but they were there cos they had footballs in the pic.

Luckily i was brought to Gods country every week and buy season tickets to St pats every season, but i would go to a Spurs game....so ehh can i ?

Xcom2 · 26-08-2006 10:53pm

Hi I'm Paul,
Been a Spurs supporter since the 80's. I think Shoot magazine had something to do with it.Never been to White Hart Lane(shame on me) but funds permitting that will change.

sikes · 26-08-2006 11:18pm

simon, 21 from dublin. spurs fan for as long as i remember, think i joined the club membership when i was 8. also a shareholder, for the laugh!

this year i have a season ticket, well two between the family and friends, hope to get to 10+ games, depends on how good ryanair are to me! its in the west stand block 10. (for the games i dont get to, we got art sport last year which shows 90% of prem games live.)

Hi all,

My name is Dave, I'm 20, live in Naas and I am a student in NUI Maynooth. I have been a spurs supporter all my life. Me and my dad go over to about 5 or 6 games a year and the next trip over is to the fulham game (i think) in october. Some of you may have met me and my dad on trips to the lane, I'm the younger, taller Dave of the two dave's.

Have been a lurker on FTL and COYS for a good while now, mainly just for transfer rumours but i'll try post a more bit on here.

Hi Ed, welcome on board. Hope to see you soon, its a while before I'll be back at the Lane for a league game though.

Ed Cummins · 29-08-2006 8:20am

No bother Ronan take it easy

Galway Spur · 01-09-2006 10:53pm

How's it going folks,
great to see an Irish-based Spurs board - top job Ronan!!
I'm Martin, the 2nd Tuam based member on here (Jamey Howya Sham?lol). I'm normally found on FTL and a few other Spurs sites. It's been over a year since I was at WHL due to a new Junior Spur arriving in our house, and with another on the way in Jan, it may be a while yet before I get another chance to head over the water. Can't wait to bring the family with me though.

I reckon we'll finish 5th this season again and win the UEFA cup...again.

COYS!!!

Robxxx7 · 02-09-2006 12:31pm

Welcome aboard Martin,

I was at the UEFA cup final in 84 both home and away legs and would love to see us do it again this year ... here's hoping

Hi Martin, thanks for signing up.

journo75 · 04-09-2006 7:03pm

Hey,

I've supported Spurs since I was 8 years of age, in 1984, when they won the UEFA Cup final against Anderlecht. I was a Liverpool fan for about 3 weeks before that, but then I realised that Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa actually played for Spurs. I was glad 'cos I knew Hoddle played for Spurs and I thought Glen was a cool name.

Been with them up and down (and as Home says "The creamy middles") since then.

Robxxx7 · 05-09-2006 8:36am

welcome aboard .... no doubt it will be another up and down season for us ...hopefully plenty of highs and very very few lows

yiddo · 07-09-2006 12:40pm

Hows it going all?
Pat here from Cork. Been following Spurs since 1971. It's all Martin Chivers fault:D Told him that when I met him at WHL a few years back. I've been involved with the Cork Spurs Supporters Club since it began in 1994. Check out our website on http://www.corkspurs.com I'll put a link to here on it later today.

Some of you may know me from COYS and FTL where I post as corkcityspur.

Best of luck with this forum.

Keep the faith !

westspur · 07-09-2006 9:26pm

Hello yiddos

Ken from Galway here. Been a fan since watching the 82 cup final replay on a tiny B&W portable tv. Good to have the glory days so close again.

Cuchulainn33 · 08-09-2006 12:16pm

Corkman here, thanks a mill for the forum Ronan.

Supporting Spurs since about 1980 - when I was allowed up to watch MOTD and saw Spurs hammering someone - can't remember who.

33. Been to WHL once, Chelsea home game in 2005, nearly got hopped on the tube on the way back to the hotel by a bunch of Chelsea fans. Goin to the premiership isn't like goin to hurling

Anyhow, nice virtually meeting you all, let's hope for some points against MU.

therecklessone · 09-09-2006 9:39am

Been away on business the last week, but welcome to J, Ken and the two Yids from the real capital (boy!) Pat and Corkman.

Thanks for the link Pat, when I get a chance during the week I'll do a thread of links to various sites of interest, you'll be on it.

eoinf · 12-09-2006 8:57pm

Alright

Fair play for getting the forum up and running

I’m Eoin 23 from Dublin supporting spurs since early 90's gazza was my first hero been to see them a few times since. Saw klinsmann score and do his famous dive in his debut for spurs against Sheffield Wednesday, what a day.

Ive been a poor student for the last few years so haven’t gotten to see them as much as I would have liked to.

Hoping to get to a few games this year would love to see them play in Europe.

Anyway

Congrats on the forum.

Let’s hope it’s a good season.

Regards

Eoin

Whats the sceal gents ? Im John and Im originally a Dub, however due to the outrageous cost of houses in this country, Im now an adopted Lilywhite. Im 25 and Im supporting Spurs since I learned to walk. Iv been to plenty of games and Im over again on Sunday for the Fulham game. I try get to a few away games, however its mainly the home ones which I get to.
My most enjoyable last season was City away, 2 zip, mido and robbie !!

Good to be on board people !!!

therecklessone · 14-09-2006 3:04pm

Hi John, good to have you on board(s)

If you need any help with tickets just holler, particularly with away vouchers. There's a few ST holders on here might be able to help out.

Hatch99 · 14-09-2006 3:19pm

Great Stuff mate, hoping to get over to a couple more between now and Christmas, however the arrival of a new addition may hamper that come November !! Defo gonna go to the Gooners game too !!You getting over much ?

therecklessone · 14-09-2006 4:00pm

It depends really got to 16 home and 6 away last year.

Think I'll make about 13/14 home but up to 10 away this year, all my games before January are listed on WWM's thread re. a trip to the Lane.

monvoy · 15-09-2006 10:49pm

Hi Benny here in Waterford. I've been spurs since I was born!!( 32 years ago!!! is it that long??) been through good and bad times.
lets hope there are more good times to come. so long as we stuff the gooners eh?
Haven't been able to get to the lane as of yet but plan to this season.

Kold · 17-09-2006 1:12am

I'm Liam, from London orig but I live in Cork. Been a Spurs supporter ever since I discovered football. Had Spurs posters lining my walls until the age of about 11 when a friend pointed out it was a bit gay having walls lined with men...

Been to the Lane a few times, probably not as much as I would've liked. Have to admit, my slightly waning interest due to our unshakeable mediocrity has been well and truly stoked since Jol took over. Favourite player was Teddy... Who I dutifully booed at Spurs vs Man Utd when he missed the peno.

Hello and welcome to our new arrivals, stick around lads.

I'd just like to say thanks to you all for the kind words re. me getting this set up, but I do need to point out that without all of you this forum and the supporters club would not exist, so give yourselves a pat on the back while you're at it.

Lets keep up the good work.

Altheus · 22-09-2006 2:13pm

Spurs fan since '91, the FA Cup final. Never been to a home game, but will be before the Christmas comes round.

Current outlook: good to middlin'

Once Steed, Aaron and Dmitar are back competing for places we should pull out a good run up to Christmas, right now I think Davids and Zokora need to gel, we should be playing Pyo at left mid, but overall it's gonna be a great season.

Spider_Baby! · 22-09-2006 2:38pm

Alright lads, my names Cianán and im a Spurs fan too! Im a young fella still (19), live in dublin. Ive been to one Spurs game, Newcastle 3 - 1 Spurs last season in SJP, and i had to sit with my mate (a newcastle fan) plus the whole lot of the toon army. I have to say, i dont think i ever cursed so much at anyone before i saw Jenas miss that open goal

Highlight of the trip was sitting next to Stephen Kelly on the plane home

I have a season ticket for East lower block 25? - in line with penalty box. was at Fulham and going to Chelsea. No other firm plans this side of Christmas.
Would make season ticket available through Administrator? Spurs were supposed to do a ticket exchange this season but no sign yet!!
