Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first home defeat of the new Premier League campaign on Sunday against Newcastle United.
Some Spurs fans have been critical of the atmosphere at the new 62,062 capacity seater stadium after video footage emerged which was recorded inside the stadium of the fans sitting in silence while one spectator is more interested in playing a game on his smartphone.
The video sparked a reaction on social media with some supporter confirming that there is also a lack of atmosphere generated in their respective area of the ground.
When the stadium was built, it was hoped that the 17,500 capacity single tier south stand would generate a wall of noise.
Other supporters also blamed the silence on the fact that many are being priced out of attending matches whilst also becoming somewhat of a hotbed for tourists and day trippers.

Opinion
Whilst the performance against the Magpies certainly did not help matters, seeing this kind of footage at our stadium is frankly embarrasing.
If you’re going to go to a game, sing your heart out and get behind the boys. Leave your phone in your pocket and watch the match.
