Tottenham Hotspur are pulling out all the stops ahead of a crucial run-in, with plans now in place to lift the atmosphere as the club prepares for their final defining home fixtures.
The battle for Premier League survival is sure to go down to the wire this season, with four games left before the campaign ends.
What was once a four-horse race has now been reduced following Leeds United’s impressive form in the closing stages, with Daniel Farke’s men now up to 14th, nine points clear of Spurs with three games to go.

Tottenham plan Leeds United atmosphere boost with fan flags initiative
Spurs could well leapfrog West Ham United with a victory over Aston Villa on Sunday evening, following the Hammers’ defeat to Brentford earlier in the gameweek.
Should they manage that, momentum will be with the Lilywhites when they head into their next league fixture against Leeds United.
Tottenham will play in front of their home support for the first time since their Brighton clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the club is now planning to create a raucous atmosphere.
In an email to fans, Spurs outlined their plans for a flag initiative aimed at boosting the matchday environment.
The email read: “Ahead of the Leeds game (11 May), we are inviting fans to send in their Spurs flags. We will be hanging them in every stand and every corner throughout the stadium, working with THFC Flags to create a fortress of flags and a sea of Lilywhite throughout the stands.
“If you have got a flag you would like us to display, complete this form and send it to us. We will store your flags safely between matches and put them on display before each game – including a flag designed by our Junior Supporters’ Group.
We kindly ask that all flags adhere to our Flags and Banners policy, and that you complete the form above no later than 12pm on 8 May.
“We will then contact you to let you know once your flag has been pre-approved for display. If we receive more flags than we have room to accommodate, we will display flags in rotation across our future home games.”
Spurs aim to energise fans with matchday offers and messages
The club is also looking to enhance the matchday experience with additional initiatives for supporters. In the same communication, Spurs confirmed the return of their early bird drinks offer.
Their message added: “Early Bird Offer – Buy One, Have One On Us. As with our most recent home fixtures, we will be running our popular Early Bird drinks offer for both the Leeds and Everton games.
“The offer sees us provide a free drink with every drink bought within an hour of the stadium opening. Beer, cider and soft drinks are all included, with fans able to purchase up to two paid drinks (four in total) per transaction.”
The club also plans to showcase messages from Official Supporters’ Clubs, highlighting the global backing behind the team as they enter the final stretch of the season.
Their mail continued: “We know that our support on matchdays extends far beyond N17. Our Official Supporters’ Clubs are preparing a series of messages which will be displayed throughout the stadium for our final two home games, showcasing unity and support from our incredible global fanbase, Official Supporters’ Clubs can contact [email protected]”
