mighty i think you are on the money.
faz in part this is about getting older. im not as passionate about football as i was when i wa younger. its just a fact of life, you just learn to think and feel differently bout things over time. when liverpool used to lose it made me so angry there was no talking to me for a good few hours. now i know better than that. ive learned to appreciate the sport as a whole, different teams, the drama, and ive also seen behind the curtain with regards to the money, the business etc etc.
its just age and wisdom. I agree with that. But the difference is when I was 20 people could afford to go to the game. How many 20 year olds today have a grand to spare ?

FSG cannot improve the atmosphere...they can be held responsible for jus about everything else...but the atmosphere, that's down to us mate. Us the fans, we create the atmosphere and the vibe around the club, we create that momentum and we cannot allow ourselves to give up hope.. Disagree Marko. There are various factors which influence the mood of the crowd and in turn the atmosphere. Many of the factors are in the hands of the owners: - Ticket prices is one. Too high and the crowd will not tolerate poor performances... it's not easy to keep cheering the team on when they're making millions, you're forking out hard earned cash and the team is perfroming poorly. - Ticket price structure also needs to be such that a good section of the crowd is young, enthusiastic... willing to sing come rain or shine. - Not knowing what you're doing is another. Keep Roy, sack Roy, appoint Kenny as interim, give Kenny 3 yr contract, hire Commoli, sack them both, talk of global searches for best manager only to appoint BR, no new stadium. So the owners can have a big influence in setting the tone for matchday atmosphere.

How many 20 year olds today have a grand to spare ? maybe we need an age related price structure. Or fixed term seaso tickets. 5 years and you hae to give it up for the next guy in the queue. whatever it takes to keep a good portion of the crowd that's energetic, hunorous, vibrant etc.

Good post totally agree young people are totally priced out of anfield you have to be quite well off to be able to afford to enter the stadium hence at least half of the stadium is 50 plus sensible well off middle class people. Not the sort to create a good atmosphere

Your idea about price and age is a good one, as is the time limit, but as far as FSG influencing atmosphere, I disagree. When you have paid for a ticket and are at the march already, you might as well make the most of it instead of moping. Well that's what I would do...

Think we should take a look at Newcastle fans... Anyone see the atmosphere for yesterday's game?? Incredible.
But I agree with some of the comments above, the atmosphere is nowhere near what it used to be. I moved over to Liverpool this year for university with the intention of attending about 10 games a year. However, bar the West Brom game in the league cup at the Hawthorns, the atmosphere has been silent at every game. I almost prefer watching the games on the television these days.
