TOTTENHAM fans are up in arms after their pre-season friendly against Leicester was abandoned.
Torrential rain in Bangkok caused the pitch to become waterlogged, with match officials judging the surface to be unsafe and unplayable.
And Spurs fans are fuming as many have paid to watch their team in action in pre-season, yet have seen barely any football.
Spursplay subscriptions give fans access to every pre-season match for £45.
But so far fans have not been given value for money as the stream for the match against West Ham failed.
The abandonment of the Leicester game means supporters have one less match to watch, while Roma also pulled out of their clash with Spurs.

And they have been replaced by a much lesser side in Singaporean outfit Lion City Sailors FC.
The abandonment has caused frustration amongst fans, many of whom took to social media to voice their displeasure.
One said: “Going to Thailand in monsoon season is a very questionable decision.”
Another added: “What a pre-season we are having, superb preparation.”

A third said: “Great first game watching on Spurs TV was plagued with technical difficulties second game cancelled can we have a refund for Spurs Play.”
And another commented: “Surely you knew this was a high possibility of happening when you visit a country in the height of their monsoon season? Also, not like we haven’t been there before and had the same issues. On to the next game now then… Oh that’s also a farce.”
Both Spurs and Leicester players began to warm up on the pitch, which was covered in big puddles.
But the ball began to stick to the waterlogged surface and kick-off was delayed as organisers waited 25 minutes for the weather to clear.
However the rain continued and match officials were left with no choice but to call the match off, leaving thousands of fans in attendance disappointed.
