Fans boycott Spurs tie

Tottenham's UEFA Cup clash with Hapoel Tel-Aviv today could be watched by just 7,000 fans in a halfempty stadium, with many home supporters boycotting the match.

Hapoel Tel-Aviv have come under fire for raising ticket prices, while Spurs have struggled to sell their allocation of 700.

Hapoel Tel-Aviv are set to rest players as they focus on the weekend clash with Maccabi Tel-Aviv. It is expected boss Guy Luzon will be fired if they lose the derby game.

Hapoel chairman Moni Harel, whose side have failed to win any of their eight league games so far this season, said: "We're not going through a good time but that doesn't mean we won't beat Spurs."
