So why put the word "local" in the thread title? Why has local become the main topic of this thread? It should be an irrelevance where she's from. It's dangerous ground to be separating local from non-local fans, and I think the forums would be a lot better off if you didn't put it again, especially when as you say it makes no difference. o.k if you say forget about the local element as we are now all the same and we are a global brand e.t.c. where does the Club gets it's identity from if as you say we are all the same, if the Club first and foremost cant be linked with the City and it's people surely we are just an other franchise or company which is'nt special and can play games anywhere in the world. I admit I stick up for locals first and foremost for a simple reason I am one and I can relate to them, thats why I really feel for that woman who has lost her tickets to some faceless corporate firm who has bought her seat, that person will probably give it away or sell it to any tom, dick or harry who will almost certainly just visit for the day and wear a jester hat, they are not proper fans in my book compared to what her and her family have brought to the Club since 1904. I am not against from Out Of Town coming to visit the Club for the Anfield Experience but it should never be at the expense of a regular or definately not a local, which I feel this situation is about.

So your argument now is that locals should get preference over non locals.
Yet again elitist and smacks of favourtism and preferential treatment.
I can just see you with a duelling banjo in dungarees telling some poor out of towner that they are not from these parts.
We aren't tom dick or harry's we are Liverpool fans whether you recognise that or not. We aint going away so get used to it.

So are you saying a person who has supported the Club through thick and thin, scrimped and saved through good times and bad is exactly the same type of fan as somebody who is given a ticket by his boss can travel to the game all expenses, have a nice meal and bottle of wine, take a few pics, get back to his seat 10 mins after the second half has started because he stayed in the free bar a little bit longer and at the end of the day was'nt that bothered who actualy won the game because the most important thing for him was a free day out no expense spared because this is what you get with hospitality fans ahead of ordinary fans locals, you seriously still telling me we are all Liverpool fans the same which go the match.

See it was all nice and finished, and you have to go and start it up again. If the complaint would occur for any fan, then there is no need to say local in the thread. That's the point. I'm not interesting in discussing with you anything else, until you at least try to make an effort to understand what people are saying, and not put forward your own racist agenda at every thread. well we might as well leave it there, we will agree to disagree over the local issue, I think the topic was always going to involve a local theme which seems to attract controversy, I personaly think it's a topic which needs to be discussed as it does involve the football club and will never go away even if people want to bury there heads and think it doesnt exist. anyway thats my lott on the subject, lets just all just to agree to disagree move on...
