Marine offer free entry to Tottenham fans for a league game next season

The Pitching In Northern Premier League N/West side are set to face Jose Mourinho's men in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Trophy in January.

However, Spurs fans are not allowed to attend the Emirates FA Cup match due to the pandemic.

It is the biggest ever gap between two clubs in the Emirates FA Cup, as Tottenham currently sit top in the Premier League, and Marine featuring in the eighth tier of English football pyramid.

Marine said in a statement: "Since the draw was announced, Marine has been inundated by groups of Spurs fans coming to the Marine Travel Arena to take photographs of our proud stadium that their heroes will be playing at.

"The tie will create a real bond between the football clubs and both sets of fans.

"It has been an incredibly tough year for everybody in football. For Marine fans, we have had a once in a lifetime Emirates FA Cup run but sadly the ties against Colchester Utd, Chester, and Havant & Waterlooville had to be played behind closed doors. This is devastating for the supporters of Marine and has also severely affected the revenues we would have otherwise received.

"Likewise, Tottenham Hotspur fans have not been able to attend their games and have missed their team’s rise to top of the Premier League. Spurs fans also are not allowed to attend the Emirates FA Cup match due to the pandemic.

"As a result of this, Marine Football Club announce that they will allow entry next season free of charge to one Marine league game to all Spurs season ticket holders. This will allow Spurs fans to have the chance to attend the ground having missed out this time and will strengthen that bond between the clubs."
