Tottenham offer fans chance to appear on live video fan wall

Tottenham are giving their fans the chance to appear on a live video fan wall that will be streamed into the stadium for their game against Manchester United, live on Sky Sports Premier League on Friday.

All of the Premier League’s remaining matches will be played behind closed doors so clubs are looking for ways to gain an advantage for their home matches, with Spurs set to feed in video footage of their supporters at various points.

Fans must enter a competition, showing themselves kitted out on the sofa and will be encouraged to react to events in the game as they happen, though no audio will be played into the stadium.

A club statement read: “We are giving supporters the chance to be part of a live video fan wall during our first ever behind-closed-doors Premier League match against Manchester United on Friday night.

“Spurs Inside is another first for the club, streamed live on our giant video screens in the stadium bowl intermittently throughout the match so that the players will know fans are watching and cheering them on.

" We are providing a select number of Season Ticket Holders and Executive Members - our regular match attenders - the opportunity to be part of this unique experience. "

Tottenham – on a poor run of form before football was suspended by the coronavirus pandemic – have a huge amount of work to do to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Spurs are eighth in the table, seven points behind fourth-placed rivals Chelsea, and four behind Manchester United in fifth place, which could be a Champions League slot given Manchester City’s current ban, pending appeal.

On the face of it, their nine-game run in looks less daunting than it might, with only Manchester United – their first game live on Sky Sports behind closed doors on June 19 – and arch-rivals Arsenal their traditional top opponents remaining.

But they also face Champions League-chasing Leicester, Sheffield United, who are deservedly in the hunt for Europe, and two sides battling against relegation in Bournemouth and another local rival in West Ham.

Newcastle and Crystal Palace away will not be easy either, while they also host Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
