Spurs fans have been praising their club after it was announced that the stadium and facilities would be used to help vulnerable people during the current viral outbreak.
The club tweeted out a link to a piece on the club’s official website, which suggests that:
“As a starting point, the stadium’s basement car park is being used as a storage base by the London Food Alliance – a new scheme set up to ensure food supplies for the most vulnerable people within the capital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has been set up by the capital’s three largest food surplus distributors — The Felix Project, FareShare and City Harvest — to pick up nutritious surplus food from suppliers and deliver it in bulk to community hubs in each London borough.”
It also includes a quote from club chairman Daniel Levy, who said: “As a Club, we have always been clear about our commitment to the wider community – never has this been more important than it is now.” The club is clearly doing its share to help out vulnerable people in the community by providing food and storage during these uncertain times.

These Spurs fans are clearly delighted to see that their club is doing its part to help out as the country attempts to deal with the current viral outbreak.
What do we think?
It is great that football clubs can still have such an impact during these times and we have already seen some Spurs players taking actions to help people out during recent weeks. For example, Toby Alderweireld has been buying electronic tablets to help people stay in touch with their families, whilst Harry Kane has been extremely supportive of the NHS on his Twitter page.
