Show Notes
They say the clothes make the man. Although we would say, the clothes make the fan. Especially if that fan is heading into a stadium for a club match. Wearing away gear. And is not planning on sitting in the away supporters section. In which case, we say, the clothes make the fan… a target. In today's episode, our guest, FFT Rob Cervantes, shares an experience he had recently wearing Crystal Palace gear into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - and then promptly getting kicked out. It's a story that comes with a lesson for all footy travelers: know before you go.

Foot(y)notes:
- Rob said his seats were in a "midfield" section of the stadium, near the club suites, which sounds like a "premium area". After our conversation, we found these rules for premium areas on the stadium's website.
- England is the most sought-after place to watch club football in the world right now, which is leading to more away fans getting a ticket among the home fans.
- Poor Harry Kane. Once a (trophyless) Spur, always a (trophyless) Spur.
- All the goals Rob missed seeing that now infamous day.
