Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy sends a message to fans ahead of PL opener vs Man City
As published on the club’s official website, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has issued a message to the fans ahead of the opening game against Manchester City.
Tottenham begin their 2021/22 season later today when they take on Premier League champions Manchester City at home. The game will also mark the return of fans at full capacity at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It will be the first such occasion since March 2020, following all restrictions due to the pandemic being lifted in England. And Levy, ahead of the game, welcomed the fans back with a message.
“And so our new season starts. I am conscious for way too many of you, this return will be tinged by sadness as you remember those we have lost from the Spurs family – as you look at seats that members of your family or friends once occupied, miss seeing someone you never knew much about, but who was also present in your area of the stadium, or maybe someone who normally would have been with you on the sofa or in the pub watching and shouting at the TV alongside you.
“Today we shall look to remember and to look forward. The pandemic brought many challenges, however, it also brought a greater appreciation of what we may have taken for granted and a realisation about just how resilient we can be when we work as a team and support each other.”
