I agree, we're not performing on the pitch to the standard they're expecting us to pay for.
However, they'll have crunched the numbers, a decision like this wouldn't have been made without having thoroughly researched all angles of possible outcome and they must be very sure that they'll fill Anfield even at these prices. It wont be the end of Liverpool as you've predicted Stan, but a hell of a lot of regular, local fans will be priced out of going to the match and that's a real shame.
Sorry to change the subject slightly, though I guess it's kind of related. On talksport tonight, they were discussing an Everton/Liverpool ground share. Apparently Everton and the Liverpool city council are more than happy to entertain the idea but Liverpool are dead against it. Liverpool's reluctance to even discuss the possibility apparently springs from the belief that Liverpool can do it alone, without Everton's input. However, we can't do it alone.. if we could, we would have done it years ago. FSG have been here for 3-4(?) years now and there is still absolutely 0% progress on the matter.
I know this comes up now and again, and I get the feeling that the majority of the Liverpools fans aren't interested but I can't help but feel that it'd be the answer to our (and Everton's) prayers. Just think about it objectively for a moment, we'd have more than enough money to fund a top of the range 90,000 capacity stadium, ticket prices wouldn't have to be so high (in theory) and we'd be able to compete financially, which we haven't been able to do it donkeys years. It seems a no brainer to me.
