Sorry Faz, but you are wrong - it IS a luxury. It makes no difference that you've been going to matches since '77 and it makes no difference that LFC is in your family - that changes nothing. It is still a luxury and a past-time that you CHOOSE to partake in. No one likes price rises but they are a way of life.

It is still a luxury and a past-time that you CHOOSE to partake in. No one likes price rises but they are a way of life. wrong very wrong , i like something taken away from you and you just say nothing , here is the spirit of shankly statement , i dont agree with the majority of there policy but on this they are 100% correct Monday 11 March 2013 at 13:04 Last Friday Liverpool FC announced increases of up to 9% in season ticket prices for the Main Stand, Paddock, Centenary Stand and Anfield Road Stand. In the midst of austerity, with redundancies and cut-backs a daily reality for many supporters, these inflation-busting price rises are an insult to long-standing supporters who have already suffered a massive 716% price rise since 1989. So much for Lord Justice Taylor's post-Hillsborough recommendation that: "it should be possible to plan a price structure which suits the cheapest seats to the pockets of those presently paying to stand." Supporters in the Main Stand and Paddock endure facilities that survived the Shankly era redevelopment, with so-called "concourses" dating back to 1907, while the cramped seating in the Lower Centenary has been notorious since that structure was built as the Kemlyn Road stand in 1963. Paddock seats now designated as the second best in the stadium are effectively restricted view, with supporters being unable to see down the near touchline without leaving their seats. It is our guess that not one of Liverpool's multiple "owners" has ever watched a match from any of these seats and that none of them have ever availed themselves of the so-called "facilities" in the Paddock or Main Stand or emerged from a game with a case of "Kemlyn Road Kneecap"! If we are wrong, then more shame on them for believing £815 to £850 is fair price to pay for "the product" on offer. While the announcement regarding Kop season tickets is a relief to many, it is our belief that ticket prices are already too high, pricing out many of those that kept the club on its feet during its darkest days. Spirit of Shankly is already working with away supporters to build a national campaign to fight for a reduced away ticket prices.

This is a very unfair price hike , there are no genuine reason for such a big price increase , plus to some who call football a luxury well i say to them , its not its a way of life its everything , most of my social life surrounds LFC , my friends are mostly connected with watching LFC , its something i have done since 1977 i was 7 years of age with my grandad and dad , now tell me if something you have so much connection with and its gets taken away from you is a luxury , its not , we have been and are getting driven out by this UNFAIR and UNJUST price increase , as i have said many times i have no time for the spirirt of shankly , but on this there statement was spot on totally correct .. I guess you'll just have to pay up then. cant pay up its gone .

Faz I feel for you and I know exactly what you mean it was my life once but has not been for about 5 years I have seen this coming for ages. It won't be £850 soon it will be £1000 within two years no problem. We are beaten mate. Don't give them the satisfaction of screwing more out of you fight back by not paying as much (ticket share) and write to that none entity Ayre and your MP's and maybe even join SOS work from the inside. For me this is not dissimilar to the polish group solidarity in the days of the Cold War or even the French resistance. Our enemy is no longer man utd but Liverpool FC or rather its board of directors.

You can't have it both ways. If someone pays through the nose over & over again for a mediocre product with poor facilities and bad viewing positions then THAT IS THEIR CHOICE.
