So then you are suggesting we move with the times? But the times call for high ticket prices. Then you would prefer we were traditional and ticket prices allowed for the common working man to attend games...
Well, which do you want, move with the times or not? Hmmmm Read my original post again city's prices are less than half Liverpool's and they are the champions they are building an affordable high quality product people want to buy and more importantly will do in the long term. Liverpool's strategy is short term So? What do you want us (posters here) to do? Maybe you want LFC to wreak the short term for a great long term...hmmm

That's flat out wrong Stan. Liverpool's team plan is as long term as any in the entire league. We want a side of young and talented players that can be champions for years and years that is blatantly obvious by whom the manager has purchased.
Further, on the stadium side- surely the redevelopment of the surrounding area lifts all boats and I am still not convinced that other stands cannot be redeveloped down the line to increase capacity further with a little modern architectural ingenuity without putting huge debt on the club. There is nothing wrong with pay as you go you know.
Will it ever be City? No, but I can put my backside on a seat to view a football pitch, have one of the best football experiences in the game and seeing youngsters return because we are actually bang up there again why is that not enough?
Champions League receipts, savvy commercial revenues from success along with TV and internet deals, will see us in a tidy position going forward not a few thousand salmon rolls or sushi packs that they happen to shift at the Etihad.

I think you misunderstand the Eithad its not prawn sandwich brigade its ordinary people. In fact its Anfield where we are attracting the prawn sandwich brigade go to any Liverpool home game and look at the car park you will see the supporter we are attracting the wealthy few. You will lose count of the new porches etc this is great but long term you will fail without the masses. Good luck with winning everything and getting huge sponsorship etc probably Martin Edwards / Alex Ferguson were the last set up to do that and that was the early 1990,s with the launch of sky. These days you need big backers and big inbfrastructure to compete. You might be able to build Anfield as we go but you might not as Anfield (the area) is being developed over the next few years and you might find new houses / roads / hotels etc cant be ripped up on a whim in the future.

Liverpool's strategy is short term How can you say people want to buy the product at the etihad when consistently week after week there are hundreds if not more empty seats in the etihad. Surely that shows people are not interested in going there

You say we might or might not meaning you don't know. I am sure the management knows better as they did with the tiered ticket pricing which was a sell out.

Of course I dont know Vish practically every post on this forum is made without knowing for sure its an opinion. But look at it this way Anfield is being redeveloped by the city for the first time in over a hundred years whole blocks of housing are being demolished and new ones built along with new roads. Do you seriously think the council will approve demolishing those again in ten to fifteen years removing the residents etc because Liverpool want a new stand ?
