Hmmm, not sure that's fair really. Both Arsenal AND Spurs are more expensive teams to watch. The interest in football in the affluent areas of West London is practically zero. Of course there are quite a few bandwagoners.
Arsenal for example draw heavily on the Islington set and have a large support in the nearby hipster areas of fashionable fans with tons of disposable income. Which is why they can charge over 2k for some season tickets. Going to the Emirates is great, the football is fantastic but that place really has no soul.
Ugh, defending Chelsea. This feels horrible.
