Anything that does not concur with your view Marko is classified as baiting.

I have been to Thailand and yes there are Liverpool shirts everywhere the point is we make little money from it other than general advertising. Unless I am wrong in which case looking forward to our £300m transfer budget this season.

Also I went to turkey last year all the locals were in premiership tops and more or less every shop sold perfect copies for about £5. If LFC opened a merchandise shop at £40 to £60 a go where do you think the locals will shop. This big idea of merchandising to put Liverpool on a par with the top clubs is ludicrous to the point of mental illness.

Not quite Stanley, but when you mention me by name in a conversation with the sole purpose of trying to cause an argument, then i see it as baiting. Also i never mentioned we are making money from it, i actually stated that those people would not buy the original top anyway, not because they dont want to, but because they cant affors to eat, yet alone buy a football shirt. I simply stated the fact that they dont have money doesnt make them less worthy fans, as you have implied so so many times...just cause they cant afford to go to matches doesnt mean their love for the club is any smaller than yours.

Why are you sharing your season ticket this year? Would you be left hungry if you weren't? Or is it the fact that you arent willing to give up certain luxury's so you choose to cut costs by sharing your ticket? You used the argument that people arent willing to make sacrifices for the club and buy tickets and that it makes them lesser fans...

Never said any such thing ever you made that up. I referred to you by name thats not wrong you do it with me all the time. This is a football chat room not the east german secret police. And I beg to differ you have in the past extoiled the mass shirt sales around the world as part of the FSG master plan. I think you mentioned a friend who bought 600 euros worth of shirts from LFC. Hope there are a few more million like him somehow I doubt it. Another thing you may not frequent the LFC shops much in Liverpool on a match day they are packed the rest of the time deserted especially the two in liverpool city centre. Parents may buy a shirt or two for young kids but the market for shirts is a dead duck now.

So i guess this has gone from a thread about a red doing a great thing to another Stan v Marko argument... Gentlemen start yer engines

And another thing....

You are going on about me be a proper fan?

Well let me tell you something I have watched Liverpool at Anfield for almost 50 years and lived through the Shankly, Paisley, Fagan, Dalglish, Souness, Evans, Houllier, Rafa eras and been all accross britain and europe following the reds.

But to be honest were it not for going with my mate whom I have watched liverpool with for about 30 years I would probably just go to one game a season now.

Does that make me a lesser fan? probably but I dont care I am like the man utd fan I talked to last week I feel no connection with the club anymore in fact I am starting to despise the club and all it stands for.

Like I have told you many times Marko all FSG and by association LFC care about is extracting money you singing YNWA while walking you dog or sleeping in an LFC nightgown means nothing to these guys.

Am I a lesser fan? to be honest I no longer know what being a fan means anymore.

Stan, i have never been to Anfield, but each day it feels as though im beginning to despise OUR club more and more. Its very hard to feel connected to whats going on at Melwood and Anfield anymore. Now FSG have us like sheep, checking the news, watching the games, checking the team sheet, buying the shirts.. even when we dont really want to. Its sickening and i dont know whether im coming or going but say this time next year i've lost all interest? Will i be looked upon as a worse fan than anyone else? Probably, do i care? Nope.

fantastic post stan +1

and as for the very nice gesture by the club to give a day out to these kids , very nice but its a gesture , i dont know if LFC would give 36 kids from kensington a free day out .

I agree too, can anyone tell us just what it is we are supporting these days ? Prey do tell.
