Tottenham downgrade West Ham clash to category B for new season

Tottenham Hotspur have downgraded the category of next season's clash against West Ham to category B.

The category of a game for most clubs is defined by the likely demand for tickets and usually sees matches against rivals and other big teams priced up with category A figures.

Spurs, for example, have put Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal as category A games.

But West Ham, a long-time rival and fellow London side, have been bumped down to the second price bracket for next season. They are traditionally category A opposition.

That sees them placed on the same level as Brighton, Newcastle, Leicester, Everton, Wolves, Watford, Southampton and Crystal Palace.

Tickets for those games will be available to adults for as little as £43, with a maximum price of £95 for a single match ticket.

Meanwhile, the visits of Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Bournemouth, Burnley, and Norwich have been put as category C.
