KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Treatment by the FA

Not sure if this subject has already been discussed - apologies if this is the case.

Looking at the ticket allocation for the FA Cup semi finals and the actual final in 2011, there is a reduction of approx 7,000 tickets for the finalists, compared to the semi's.

With the kick off being put back to 5.15 and the work being completed on the rail system, there is a complete disregard to the people who matter most.

How can the FA as an organisation, continue to treat both the teams and the fans (who are directly paying for Wembley Stadium) with such disdain on a continual basis.

The FA must realise, with the amount of bad press, whether it be regarding incorrect Yellow and Red Cards, or the use of cameras after the games (Youngs diving and Balotellis stamping on people), that the organisation is probably regarded as the most diabolical organisation currently being run in England.

Rant over now, but these people never ever cease to amaze me!!

7000 tickets reserved for corporate cuunts no doubt. the way of the world im afraid.

It is isn't it. It lines the pockets of our club some times, but increases the gap between the common fan and the club that has been emerging over the years.

its a disgrace. you should be able to ensure your cup final tickets based on ticket stubs from previous cup games.

Reward for those cold wet nights in Brighton. I completely agree.

Well the Club are thinking about building a new stadium purely and simply for those corporate cuunts as you say, not average joe. You see fans cant have it both ways, you either want the Club to have this world wide, global brand name image which brings in fame and money or you want your average man in the street, you cant have both, these corporate muggs need to be rewarded and Cup Finals is the way the Club does it wether we like it or not.

that doesnt make any sense at all. the reality is those 7,000 tickets go to friends of friends of corporate friends and dont benefit the club at all really. its all internal movement. the tickets would be sold either way so no money to be made by giving freebies.

You can have both. Manchester Utd have more corporate than us but their cheapest tickets are far cheaper than us. We need a bigger ground and more corporate so the average Jow can afford to got. Small ground high prices is not the answer.

Yes Stanley they do, but they still get preferential treatment regarding rickets when United get to Finals before average fans and thats what I am saying about you cant have it both ways, the corporate have to be looked after before ordinary fans because they bring in more money.

Thats fine thats always been the case. Liverpool always used to allocate to shareholders first. If you pay more money you get a better deal thats the way the world works. What the REAL issue is that Liverpool don't bring in enough revenue.
