am telling you stan, this is all going to come back and bite the Club firmly on the ar*e, we are now a firmly established mid table club and the people who now buy the tickets at that price now will not be paying over 60 quid a ticket in about 4 years time for the same mediocre product. Dont forget Everton have cornered the local market now so we have nothing whatsover to fall back on when the gloryhunters have all left the building, John Henry might aswell switch the lights off... would you rather LFC was like Everton on a permanent basis? Not so much global interest, pre-dominantly local fans, old-fashioned chairman, low budget, never win anything but hover around between just outside the top 4, nor real expectation of sustained CL football.

As a season ticket holder (mug) many of the games at anfield I would rather not go but because its prepaid you have to drag yourself there, Half of the games (or more) are mid day or Monday night or 4pm on sky. That game the other week on Monday night i would have loved to have watched that at home in the warm.
I don't like being taken for a fool its not just the money the prem product is awful. Seriously now I am thinking of jacking the ST in and watching the games by just buying a ticket for say half the games. I don't think it will be a problem especially with carling / fa cup / Europa as these have not sold out and given this massive hike then getting tickets on spec is going to be increasingly easy.

i agree about the decline of the prem product stan, and it maybe shows fsg are struggling financially to compete. it doesnt even make financial sense to up the prices at this stage. they'll lose as much as they gain, plus its sending out a very bad vibe to match going fans, in fact all supporters, and that wont help them with things like shirt sales etc.

But I don't think there are a lot of other options to be able to afford the best players to compete at the top, unless of course FSG has money to throw away like Abrahamovich and the Sheiks, which is not going to happen we know. The question now is if fans will follow as FSG has assumed in their business model. We will see in a few months when the new season starts.

Another option which I am thinking about is asking someone out there to pay my mate the money and they can watch for a season and I will buy the odd game. There are options which I need to think about but I think this is a step too far for me. When I first started to watch Liverpool I bought on spec so go back to those days and on the Monday night game when it's chucking it down I will stay at home with a cup of tea costing 2p as opposed to £2 what's not to like ?

Well that just sums up that coolflames has no idea what he's on about. nEverton never win anything, never get top 4, never get to even semi finals bar the odd year, a small club...
