Also over the years I have cheered and sang with the best of them. And if I had to I could turn it on again and toss that blanket off my legs and put my flask of soup down,

i am paying a lot of money to watch football now and i want to watch football good, bad or indifferent and if some want us supporters out who have been the lifeblood and backbone of the club for decades , then i will ask this if we are driven out where are the next generation of supporters coming from , fazakerley , kirkdale, widnes, runcorn , southport ??? or oslo or dublin or eleswhere ??? , yes people will travel and no problem what so ever with that as all are supporters of LFC , but to just blame the older and mostly local support for lack of atmosphere is well off the mark , people talk about the games remembered for the greatest atmosphere in the modern day history , talk about st etienne and auxerre(91) and then chelsea (05) i will say the older support had a major effect in those games more then anyone. P.S. i am not before people kick off i am not having a go at anyone all are reds and all are welcome just making a point about us older supporters .

I have alot of respect for u too i am Irish so therefore a "foreigner" according to most of you but its fans like you who've kept the club above water for the last few decades i wish i got to see the late 70's and complete 80's it would have been amazing i'm adamant though we will see times like those again in my life time

You will always get the majority of the supporters being local local being say 1 hour drive meaning the north west f England. Some will travel say Norway or whatever but they will always be the minority I can never see the situation where the majority of fans are from the south and abroad simple logistics and finances. And technology will make that situation more pronunced soon with virtual cameras coming out soon why would you pay vast sums to travel from Norway. Plus the foreign fans are like those local young people don't go out the house anymore

Plus the foreign fans are like those local young people don't go out the house anymore I agree to an extent, but what you have to understand is i'm 20 and like many foreign fans find it very expensive to travel over for the weekend, i've seen us play Newcastle at St. James Park the year we trashed them 5 - 1 and Lazio a few years ago in the Serie A at Stadio Olympico, those are the only 2 big games iv gone to if you dont include the league of Ireland, i was lucky to see both these games because i was in Newcastle and Rome on holidays at the time, but to travel directly from Ireland now when i'm not been funded by mammy and daddy allowance i simply cant afford it Stan so in a way you cant expect us to be over constantly.
