I don't agree. The sponsors are paying for their image/logo to broadcast worldwide - the 35-40k home fans in the ground are not their target. As for the TV money, if Anfield had a ground capacity of 12 we'd still get the same premier league prize money and share from the TV deal.

Accept it Mr Park - the fans are no longer important.


The adverts are at the ground because its a popular product to watch on TV without te crowd as it s with certain Italian grounds the product would be diminished and the sponsorship would go.


So....without TV there'd be no sponsors/investors? With no sponsors/investors the ticket prices would be 50 times what they are now! Still think that the 'armchair' fans aren't important? And what about this 'backbone' of fans that go to games - would they be willing to pay £2500 per ticket? You should be thanking us sofa-supporters for keeping down your costs! :-)


Haha, well played you son of a b!tch.

Another very valid point Car...can you imagine the ticket prices without te sponsorships and investors?

Just as I said earlier, it's not concentric circles but a very intertwined ecosystem where we all depend on eachother and cannot function alone. A point very well explained by Car's last post.

Marko Liverpool FC is a commercial business all fans are important but at te end of the day it's how much money to the club that matters to the club whether that is direct or indirect does not matter but how much does. I cannot see how anyone could argue differently. If I stopped paying my season ticket the club would not care as long as someone else stepped in but if they did not the club would be in trouble. And that day my come with Liverpool FC because the home fans are being priced out.

Disagree it's concentric circles. The causal tv watching fan s an opportunity to the club only in the sense that fan might one day pay to watch Liverpool.

Its irrelevant, good to see more on here know who George is in the first place very inspired person also has a very unique view on things, correct the majority of the time.

Also just to be clear Marko i am in the same boat as you on this one, i'm not a match going fan yet and i understand all your points. Just in my opinion the match day fans are the backbone, but as you say were all of equal importance

Guys, there are 17 pages on this thread now and I really don't understand all the hype, probably because I am not a real fan enough. Is there a Best Fan award that would be presented by Stevie G or what? If not, all this is really pathetic, some people are really looking to get some affection and some kind of recognition here.

I think when you say better it creates emotion the club does nt care fr any of us we are all it's customers it wants you to pay Money some pay more than others. From the clubs respective the more you give to it the better. The club is not charity but a big commercial business how is that so hard to understand?

The club sells a product which is the team the stadium and the crowd. Just watching now Celtic and juventus and the Glasgow fans signing YNWA the hair on the back f your neck stands out.

Now is anyone trying to tell me that would be better with no criowd?
