KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Indian billionaire sets sights on buying Liverpool

wtb mod lock on bitter thread!

Just read all 17 pages & I cannot believe people argue about were in Merseyside entitles you to be a red over another. Before Merseyside came into existence in 1974 Liverpool was part of Lancashire, so arguing what town your from is ludicrous.

A lot of people were born in Fazakerley cos that was were the maternity hospital was. It's now in Toxteth, more scouse do you think?

Bootle is out of town? During the war part of it was flattened by German bombers targetting Liverpool Docks. If the Nazis thought Bootle was part of Liverpool why are we arguing?

I have a cousin who lives in Essex. You would think that is definitely out of town, but he was born in Liverpool, was raised as a Red, was married in Liverpool & went to Rome in 1977 on his honeymoon!(Still can't believe i missed cup final saturday before to go to a family wedding) He moved down south for work, but what do you class him as? The bottom line is, no matter is you have a Liverpool post code or not you can have a local attitude which is defined by how you grew up.

By the way, if we didn't have out of towners going to Anfield we wouldn't have full houses. There is not enough people local who could afford to fill the ground every other week. If we didn't have out of towners we wouldn't be looking at building a bigger stadium & bringing enough money to compete with the best. If there were no out of towners we may as well be Accrington Stanley. They exist, but will they ever conquer Europe? Is that what we should be?

Carry on arguing you lot!

no, sorry mark. Geography has spoken. you are now a wigan fan.

That comment just sums it all up with the non Liverpool/merseyside people in this forum , just proves that non of you give a thought to the city and its people , just come to anfield and not give a flying f@#k about the trials and tribulations of the city and its people, be interesting to see if you would still support the team if it went through some real barren years even dread to think it but if liverpool dropping out of the premier league not many would still come , but we would still be here as its part of all of us in this city as much a part of the city as the Beatles, the Mersey tunnels, the liver buildings , the river , ken dood, Bessie Braddock ETC there is also Liverpool F.C..and Everton F.C.they are equally just as important as any of those but none of you lot give a monkeys about it.

Surley there's a point when we all need to draw a line under this?!

We're just going over and over the same things again. All its creating is bad feeling between people who come on this forum with a common interest. Which is a passion for Liverpool FC.

We ALL support the same team and it really shouldnt be that much of an issue where anyone comes from should it?

not true.

you didnt even read my post properly, and took it out of context. what you quoted was a response to ged painting a picture of liverpool people being poor and repressed, which is a load of utter nonsense. i cant stand self pity, especially when it is unjustified. show me one person who cant get a ticket, and i will show you why and how they can fix the problem!
where do you think "foreigners" get their tickets, down the local liverpool ticket office?! no, they get them off the internet, which i'm assuming, is accessible by people who live in liverpool. unless of course the stadium is blocking internet signals?
what are you going to tell me next, the "poverty stricken hoards of liverpool" (sarcasm, not my opinion) cant afford computers? go to an internet cafe then.
Ive been to liverpool, its a massive city, full of vibrancy and more wealthy than any place i ever came from, so get over yourself, and go change out of your pity pants.

You're just talking rubbish! Just because you're not from Liverpool doesn't mean you have LFC in your heart. I know I would still be supporting them whatever league they were in just like I know Leeds fans from where I am still support them and go to the games. There are some glory hunters out there but don't think we all are because we're not. LFC need out of town supporters so get used to it and stop moaning.

Hey Faz, even your own are selling you out!!

I get my ticket from a local Liverpool lad for a number of years now. Garaunteed a ticket everytime I ring and I got 6 tickets for the last game I was at!

This thread is the biggest load of b*llix I have come across.

Yes the element of out of towners is there but is to be ignored. I experienced it sitting on the Kop and ended up getting into trouble, so now I take no notice of it.

Years back, being an Irish man trying to get a ticket was the biggest pain in the arse ever. Major money had to be spent to see a half decent game, and that's before spending money including the fist full of fivers for the ladies of angels! ;-)

To get to see a game I had to save for most of the year.
But now after years of searching I found my Liverpool contact a couple of years ago and now I can get my tickets for little over face value, cheap accomodation and cheap flights.

Us out of towners will do what we can to get to see a game in Anfield, as I did - get into personal debt just to see my team play. Regardless of where I am from - Liverpool is in my blood, my brothers blood - we are a Liverpool supporting family and our few spare shillings go to a Liverpool trip.

and Faz...if Liverpool did drop out of the premier I would still be over showing my support.

That's my tuppence!

i dont understand why ged thinks Out of Towners have taken over Anfield and dont allow locals to go, locals have an easier route to Anfield then OOTS and can quite easily get tickets and become season ticket holders. So anyone whinging at that pub that they cant get tickets is only at the pub because 1. they cant afford it or 2. couldnt be arsed and would rather go to the pub, Ive been to Anfield once and had to save for years , go in debt and all Why would i spent that money if i couldnt give 2 [oops] about the club , i know there are some glory hunters who go to Anfield for a holiday but im all for that if there prepared to stump up there hard earned cash to fill the stadium. But im pretty sure (and its been touched on here a few pages back) most oots goin to anfield have a connection to the club or city and im 100% sure that the OOTS in this forum are not here because 20yrs ago we were successful

RIGHT, THAT’S IT!!!!

I’m drawing a line under this
