Tottenham forced to apologise for West Ham friendly stream problem but despairing fans point out bigger issue
TOTTENHAM have been forced to apologise for a problem with the stream for their pre-season clash against West Ham.
The Premier League sides were facing off in Australia as part of their preparations ahead of the new season.
However, fans trying to watch on Spursplay were encountering problems leading to the club having to apologise.
The club tweeted a statement that red: “We are aware of the audio issues surrounding our live pre-season Broadcast against West Ham.
“Please reload your SPURSPLAY feed which should resolve these issues.”
However, fans were more concerned with the issues on the pitch as Tottenham fell 2-0 down.
Danny Ings opened the scoring before Divin Mubama doubled the Hammer’s lead with a towering header.
One Spurs fan tweeted: “Are you aware of the defensive issues surrounding the club the last few years?”
A second commented: “Can we reload our defending on set pieces?”
A third wrote: “Defending is constantly buffering.”

A fourth said: “We also have defender issues maybe do something about that.”
A fifth added: “Looks like the word defence has autocorrected to audio, admin.”
While another declared: “The audio is fine, it’s the defence that needs addressing!”
Meanwhile other fans were baffled by Tottenham star James Maddison’s shirt number.
The midfielder donned the no.71 after Tottenham confirmed last week that numbers worn during pre-season may not be representative of their finalised squad numbers for the 2023-24 campaign.
And therefore the new signings have picked up available slots before making their decisions on their squad numbers.
