Just not with ordinary working class people who made the club what it is today.


Some fans have an over inflated sense of importance. Yes, the fans have played a part but they have regularly changed in the past and will continue to do so in the future. It's the players that make the club.
We will always be full, and well supported. If in 5 years time the ground is full of millionaires, then great - we can put the prices up again and become one of the richest clubs in the world with their support. Their friends and family will get used to paying £1500 for a ticket so there won't be an issue anymore - and the club will go from strength to strength.
One thing's for sure, clubs don't get rich by by having poor fans or by subsidising tickets.


Ok if going off others figs that a 10% rise generates an extra 2mil quid then it follows if they put it up 50% it generates 10 mil, so in all honesty do you really think that makes a rats bit of difference on the scale of revenue LFC generate and their financial future success in a word NO as they can get 30 mil for 1 shirt deal etc etc, wake up smell the coffee this isn't about financial needs of LFC because it's insignificant to them! so there has to be other reasons? one could be greed what do you think other reasons could be as it sure isn't financial security is it because it don't add up i don't believe you all are daft enough to believe that surely ??


It must do. I've been told many times that match goers are the backbone of the club and that their financial contributions make so much difference that it gives them the status of being a better fan. I take it we can put that claim to bed now....

Good response. Match attendees = important, Their Money = less so. It's their presence that makes the difference and not their financial contribution. I'd never looked at it that way.

The ground would never be empty though so it's a moot point really.

Where is the evidence of that ? Anfield is regularly not full today and in the past has got 35k and even 20k you seem to have a lot of knowledge marko on the ground you have visited once.

I've got my doubts as to whether it would make any difference to the sponsors. Take Standared Chartered for example. They pay a fortune to have their logo on our shirts, but their target audience isn't the people within the ground. It's the global market, which is taken care of by televised games. But they are also paying simply to be associated with LFC as a brand as much as the team/game/fans etc.

Exactly what kind of fans do we have?! When the ground was full, were they only attending because we were cheap to watch?! I'm not sure if that's the kind of fan we want to attract.

Agreed but a hint of us not being a big name or Liverpool fans deserting the club they will be off. Even on koptalk this decision has done huge damage the perception even on those far away is the club is abandoning its fans. This will only get worse as we go further down this road.

It's not because they were cheap to watch carheex some of the comments you are making are quite simply disgusting.

Relevatively in the 1980's it was still not cheap but affordable by most people. Now it's a rich mans preserve.

That really was a disgusting comment for which I believe you should apologise.
