Covid 19 vaccine: the club offers the stadium – again – for the roll-out of the COVID-19 jab.
Again, we have become the first Premier League club to offer our stadium as a venue to roll out the Covid-19 vaccine. It will provide an open space for the NHS to administer injections.
Previously we allowed our 62,000-capacity stadium to be used as an outpatients unit for North Middlesex Hospital during the first lockdown last year. The dressing rooms, interview rooms and cafe etc., were used to treat pregnant women.
But we are not the only club to offer our services. Wycombe Wanderers of the Championship has also provided their function rooms at their Adams Park stadium as a venue for vaccinations to be carried out.
As you know, the UK government aims to vaccinate all citizens aged over 70, the most clinically vulnerable and frontline health and care workers by mid-February, which will require around 13 million vaccinations.
All Premier League clubs have collectively said they would be willing to offer their facilities to help roll out the service, but Spurs are the first to act. Clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea etc. are still waiting in the wings for whatever reason before going that step further.
My name is Glenn Renshaw.
I am currently a Premium Season Ticket holder (West Stand) in the new stadium. Before that – at White Hart Lane – a season ticket holder in various parts of the ground (mainly in the North stand).
Before becoming a season ticket holder, I stood on the shelf and various other parts of the ground since the 1950s. In 1987 I became one of the first to hold a Spurs Membership card. I was also a life long member of the Spurs supporters club (now defunct).
I go to all home, away and abroad matches.
I was born in 1955, Edgware, London (it was in the late 50s – as a baby – that my dad took me to Spurs to initiate me). I currently live in Berkshire.
I also collect all Spurs books (and have everyone printed), Spurs handbooks (from 1920s onwards, Spurs programmes (since the 40s).
Previously, I wrote for Spurs Fanzines: The Spur, Spur of the Moment, My Eyes have seen the Glory and various other Spurs fanzines’. I also wrote for the SpursWeb app & its website.
I currently write and work for spursnetwork.com and its website. I write its Reviews & Match reports and a lot more.
My other interests are; reading, history, social history, Politics, going to the gym, wine, going out for a meal, music (all sorts), writing, theatre, concerts, going on holidays, socialising etc.
I have been writing blogs/ articles since 1989
