Why is 'SpursAtWembley' trending on Twitter?

25 February 2015 11:01

If you’ve glanced at Twitter this morning, you’ve probably seen the hashtag #SpursAtWembley flying high among the top trends.

This is, of course, because Tottenham are taking on Chelsea at Wembley in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday – but it’s something a bit more specific than that.

Tottenham and Chelsea fans are getting the opportunity to influence what colour the Wembley arch will be lit in the build-up to the game via Twitter.

Tweets using the hashtags #ChelseaAtWembley and #SpursAtWembley are being monitored and counted – and the one which gets the most mentions will decide which club’s colours decorate the Wembley arch the night before the game.

On Thursday evening the arch will be lit up to indicate how the poll is going – and as of last night, the standings looked like this.

If today’s trends are anything to go buy, though, it seems the arch will be going white and navy.
