I am especially disturbed by the explicit mention of monitoring the diversity make-up of season ticket holders. We have constantly stressed that teams are very important to local areas, but what if a locality has a majority of white citizens? Will it fail some diversity test if the majority of season ticket holders have the wrong skin colour? If there is a large percentage of local residents from south-east Asia who do not choose to attend football matches, but who might be passionately engaged in another sport, will they be dragooned into the ground? It is a wrongful assumption that these local residents are not interested in football because of some implicit bias on behalf of the club. Will Spurs be in trouble if too many of their season ticket holders are Jewish—disproportionate to the ethnic or religious demographic breakdowns of the ground’s vicinity?
