Franchise Notes: Tottenham Fan Group Upset With Ticket Prices

Tottenham's Supporters' Trust "hit back at ticket prices" for the club's new stadium. Tottenham announced ticketing details, with the cheapest season ticket coming in at £795 ($1,110) and the most expensive priced at £1,995 ($2,787). While they are both "comparable to prices in the final season at the old White Hart lane," the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust believes other price points "are too high" (PA, 3/13).

ManU's players checked into the Lowry Hotel ahead of their Champions League match with Sevilla "just hours after a bomb scare in the city centre." The Lowry was "cordoned off earlier on Monday and a bomb disposal team was deployed following reports of a suspected World War II explosive being found on a building site." However, the scene was reopened "after analysis found it was not a bomb and not dangerous" (London DAILY MAIL, 3/12).

Southwark Council was expected to "make another step" toward saving "troubled" non-league club Dulwich Hamlet on Tuesday. The council's cabinet was expected to "unanimously approve a report into the acquisition of the freehold of Champion Hill ground from its owners," which is one step toward a compulsory purchase order. American property investment fund Meadow last week evicted Dulwich Hamlet from the ground and has "now set up new metal fencing outside to stop anyone from getting in" (London INDEPENDENT, 3/13).
