Tottenham Players Repay Fans N72 Milion After Horror 6 – 1 Loss Against Newcastle
Tottenham Hotspur’s players are reimbursing Spurs fans the cost of their match tickets from the 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday.
Spurs were 5-0 down after 21 minutes of the game and interim manager Cristian Stellini has since been sacked.
“As a squad, we understand your frustration, your anger,” said a statement from Tottenham’s players.
“It wasn’t good enough. We know words aren’t enough in situations like this but a defeat like this hurts.”
Spurs’ allocation for the game was 3,209, with prices ranging from £19 to £30, meaning the gesture is likely to have cost around £80,000.
The club said supporters were expected to receive the refund in their bank accounts within 24 hours.
