Nope i dont think being a fan has anything to do with money actually, sorry to interupt your little butthurt hissy fit, but what i meant was that some choose to have food on their table and clothes on their backs whilst other choose to travel be it wind, snow, rain or sleet to pay £50 and watch us put in average performances, if these are not the true fans and the TRUE BACKBONE of the club then i dont know what is. And no i'm not a fan i'm a Manc born and bread Fergie style. Single people aside, that says more about their lack of respect and love for their family than it does about the football match that they choose to watch.

Can you openly admit that a fan who spends £50 - £100 a week to see Liverpool play is a "better fan" than you? Because i certainly can. Thats the main point here for me, i love Ice Cube, favourite rap artist and i listen to him most of my day when i've the head phones in, doesn't mean i cant admit that the fans who travel to see him in concert all around the world are better fans than me. Just my opinion.
Faz, Stanley and even coolflames go to see us play week in week out so in my book they've more right to be called a fan than any of us even though i spend a solid fortune on LFC memorbilia. Just my opinion though You gotta be kidding. Obviously they ARE better fans than you because you put being a fan down to how much money you might spend on matchday. I put being a fan down to passion, and sticking it out through the hard times, not down to the amount of money someone might have to spend, or time they have for that matter. Some of us have families and little children...it makes no difference what the reason is for not attending a match.
I GUARANTEE that 99% of members on here would gladly go to a game if they had the time and money. To me what makes a fan, A REAL FAN, is not the money, but the passion, the love for the club. A real fan will cheer and shout at the top of his voice even when he is alone in his bedroom, he will cry tears when the team lose a final. A real fan will feel every moment of pain and glory! Any rich Tom, Dick or Harry can get a season ticket. How many Chelsea season ticket holders are actually fans? How many go there just so they can say they are season ticket holders. Some of you need a reality check and have a lot of growing up to do, perhaps you have grown old, but you haven't grown up. BEING A FAN COMES FROM THE HEART, not from the wallet! So, Horgo, can you openly admit that you think being a fan comes from the amount of money you spend on matchday? Can you openly admit to us all that that is what you consider to be a true fan? If so, in my opinion, you are no fan at all! Those 2 lines basically prove what i'm saying, some fans go to games regardless of their background circumstances, they put the club first in front of time, money, family and food. And fair play to them for it... No my friend, those 2 lines of yours prove what a small man you are. Football is great, I love LFC, but there is nothing more important than family. One day when you grow up and become a man you will realise that. NOTHING, absolutely nothing, is more important than your family. Obviously, you have been raised differently, but trust me, one day when you are on your deathbed, you will remember your mom and your family..not Stevie G or Carragher or John Henry or whoever. The sooner you realise this, the better! Again not sure if your English is great but this is the bloody point i was making. SOME FANS HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ANFIELD AND FAMILY, FOOD, CLOTHES ETC. Is this not registering with you? Or is it only correct because you used my own argument to undermine me with your reply? I dont get to Anfield at all as i'm only a student and not the richest, but as i said the likes of Faz, Stan, coolflames and anyone else on here who attends regularly are and always will be the back bone of LFC.

You do the math do you realise that the fans watching on TV say 1 or 2 million watch, about 40 or 50 cent (pence) i reckon goes to the club for each, the TV deals have to sort out advertisers, sponsors etc. Also the club doesn't get paid for matches on TV they sign one deal to cover all TV games in August and then again on January 2nd so the only thing that TV fans influence is the deal the clubs get the next season, more fans watching = bigger TV deal.
The match going fans are the back bone of the club i seriously dont understand why thats even an argument on here to be honest. Back in the days of division one football where there were no big TV deals, maybe. But these days, worldwide tv subscriptions and merchandising far outweigh the gate receipts.

To me it sounds like a comment a 13 year old would make...I agree with you fully Carheex...

But yeah maybe so if you think so Carheex, but i'm glad somebody understood what i was saying. Some fans cant afford to go to every game as they have other important factors to think about and pay for, whilst others have the privelige of being able to attend almost every game, again i say it, these guys are the back bone of the club.

No they don't they are about the same Good - in that case, the armchair/foreign fans are equally as important, yes?
