stan can i ask you a question i go the games and think the hike is bang out of order but do you think there would be fans willingto step in and buy your season ticket if you or however many thousand decided to call it a day if so FSG woulnt care less what anyone said or does in my opinion


Of course there would be short term but there is a limit and we are reaching that limit very soon all those fans who pack in will never come back once the club is forced into reducing prices the damage will have been done
ok so if we decided to build a new stadium do you not think the price of a season ticket would be massive and would you be prepared to pay for it because its a new ground i would struggle as its near impossible now but i always think these buisness people are only interested in getting heads thru the gates and people buying merchandise who come from far and wide i just think that lfc has got massive support similar the the mancs and there will be no end of people wanting to fill are shoes just my opinion

Past caring about success of the club on the field marko it's about the clubs survival now both financially and culturally. If we are not successful in order to change the way the game has gone then that's fine by me, in any case what have we to lose we will never catch man utd now



So because you were fortunate enough to see the glory years, and had the opportunity to see the team week in week out for so many years, we should now reduce prices to help the local fans and maybe drop into mid-table obscurity because we've had our time in the sun?
Some of us inferior fans weren't so lucky and do actually want the team to be successful, even if it is from hte comfort of our armchairs. It's very unfair to increase it so much, but football is the way it is, the world is the way it is and we've all let it happen, so we need to increase income to catch up the big boys.
I can see why people are annoyed at the sudden outcry for solidarity.

I know I am local I have seen them but none are season ticket holders but one off visits. And every time you go to anfield they are imploring you to buy merchandise which is now fifty per cent off so i reckon that merchasing operation is losing money. And the expensive store in Liverpool one never has anyone in it.

The lad I go with is probably a millionaire even the season ticket is small change to him and I bet he puts it through the company anyway. But how many are there like him it's getting to the stage where it's exclusive golf club prices a millionaires pastime. Not a way to run a mass market business.
