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. yes they want to be associated with a successful popular team and an empty ground at lfc would make them not want to be associated with lfc trust me! I think they pay around 30 mil for the shirt add there annual profit would be up in the 100 billion range if local banks here in OZ can make 6 billion PROFIT! So having to pay extra for them is a pittance and a tax deduction. As for global market your absolutely right and they would not want their brand image tarnished by being sponsors of a team that had empty grounds whether they have mils of global fans or not it looks like they don't so they would be perceived to be associating with a bunch of losers and that deal would not be renewed and lfc would have a hard time getting any decent sponsors while the ground was empty that is a given. maybe twistees would ;)coff up a few grand. how about every one who is affected chant lower the prices! Every game or abuse one of the sponsors every game WARRIORS are blah blah blah kopites are good at gobshite that would really hurt thats how you have to think, hit were it really hurts lfc if sponsors were abused likelihood is they wont renew and will complain to lfc i bet you dont have to do it long just send a letter to lfc saying we think warrior products are crap and we intend to chant that at the ground or we think standard charters fees are expensive do you think they will pay mils to have there product ridiculed globally i think not and i think lfc would be looking to talk to the fans then mate! eh?? you have to think outside the box I think we should ALL start with thinking before we post...As far as your idea is concerned, I think it's silly and childish. you really expect people to sing "Warriors are sh1te" at a match...Warrior has done nothing wrong and you want the fans to abuse them? Makes no sense to me..

I think the ones affected the most such As Stan an Faz are simply letting their emotions get involved too much and aren't being objective. That's my view of things. wouldn't you be emotive if something you havr done week in week out and put all you life into it travelled all over England and Europe doing it wouldn't you be emotive about it ? Of course I would, but I would also admit that those very emotions are perhaps clouding my judgement.

why would no one do it if you say there are lots feeling the pain, come up with an anti sponsor chant believe me you will get attention, no different than chanting yanks out that worked but one thing is for certain nothing will change without effort so if your not prepared to put the effort in get ready for some more price hikes cuz they will think well that went down ok lets do it again. you have to hurt em mate kick in the balls or just pay up or don't go simple! does it mean as much to you as you say it does then actions speak louder than words do something eh! I don't know whether to laugh or cry...Standard Chartered and Warrior are giving LFC money and you want us to chant against them...You say "Yanks Out" worked, but it didn't...The yanks sold because they had no other legal option due to the debts they ran up. It wasn't some chants or posters that made them leave.

Vish if they get the pricing wrong it cant be corrected. Once those fans go they go for good. Carheex is a prime example wild horses would not drag him to anfield as he is used to watching on TV. I would probably be the same when I pack in. I dont see you vish hurrying to anfield why dont you make the trip of a lifetime? Who tells you i won't? Everytime i've been in UK, i couldn't get a ticket (i can only make it in the festive end of Dec period during my summer holidays), tells me that most often than not, there is a huge demand to go to games. One trip by the way will cost me more than your most expensive season ticket. You also say that they will not be able to correct their mistake, i would disagree because i am not talking about a correction in 3 years time but within the season if required.

Got to go now I'll check back later to what other excuses you have for taking it up the bum from LFC because that's what there doing ! They could of raised they advertising rate by a minuscule amount and this could of been avoided but chose to upset fans instead nice LFC Who tells you that they are not already trying to raise the advertising rate? The sponsorship deals that were signed by FSG were the highest ever, they even ditched Adidas who were offering less. Also, very often you cannot just increase advertising rates if you have signed a contract for a few years. Now regarding the ticket prices, as much as I understand, it is not all the prices that are being increased but those which are the most sort after / best seats and other prices are going down. Right marketing segmentation, at least in theory, if you ask me. It might not work when I see the reaction of the regular match going fans on the forum, but, cannot be sure as don't know the proportion of unhappy fans v/s those who are on the waiting list for ages but cannot get in.

Liverpool don't set the advertising revenue they receive. They negotiate the best deal possible and we have our highest shirt and manufacture sponsor ever. To think we can automatically just get another 2 mil from them is naive in the extreme. I would be fairly confident that the one thing FSG and Ayre can get right is the sponsorship side of things.
It is not a case of going back to Standard chartered and saying "hey, we have a great deal and a contract but lets rip that up and you give us an extra 2mil a year"
Talking about chanting against the sponsors is a joke as well. Do we want to become a club that is known for caring more about sponsors than the match? All that might do is disillusion future sponsors to give money to Liverpool and that is where a huge bulk of our money comes from. Wanting to restrict that is ludicrous.

Well said....+1, to me it's a very short sighted approach and to be honest rather childish.
