KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum could the premier league TV deal bubble burst ?

But if you came to Serbia to watch Liverpool against Red Star the ticket would not be 50 pounds, it would be 18 euros as it was when Red Star played Roma. As i said, the prices are adjusted to the countries economy.

They are not adjusted to a countries economy at all they are adjusted to demand and it do happens demand is likely to be lower in a country where Liverpool are a foreign team. In England wealth varies between the south and the north almost all the countries wealth is in the south. Liverpool is in the north yet there is high demand and we pay the full price despite Liverpool being a very poor city. My local supermarket has a container where we put tinned food for other people in our town who have not enough to eat. But the sky prices are the same as London where people are ten times wealthier

You have no idea who I am, but for one thing, I wouldn't be able to be in your company for 5 mins if in real life you cry and moan as much as you do it here. Saying that you are subsidising me and other overseas tv subscribers is one of the most stupid things you've said. I even proved it to you that this is not a subdidy (but a pricing strategy) because the FA increases its gross profit by selling rights abroad (actually you would have had to pay more if nobody was buying abroad), but of course this you cannot understand this. Now I leave you to your gloomy and depressive life, don't want anything to do with you. You are as disgusting on your comments on overseas fans as the poster Mike who got kicked out of here.

Firstly vish the people are not feeding from containers in supermarkets we are not that bad just yet. The food us distributed to homes via charities. The disparities in income in the uk are no different from the wider world I am sure there are plenty people in Mauritius and Serbia richer than many English people. As you say the price us what it is, if you can't afford it tough (in your words) I don't see why that applies in England but not wider. It seems you want to protect your own cosy position but you are quite happy for English Liverpool fans to do the heavy lifting

Let me start by saying I actually agree with you, I don't believe UK ticket prices etc subsidise the cost of viewing in foreign countries but that's just my opinion.

I would however like to point out that subsidies are very much possible within a pricing strategy so stop using the terms like they are mutually exclusive to prove a point, it doesn't make any sense.

In addition you spend 5 pages talking about how the prices in the uk and foreign countries are largely independent based on supply and demand of the market in question (I agree with this), and then say the above (in bold) which completely contradicts everything else you've said.

Now I wouldn't have bothered to call you out on these clear mistakes if you hadn't hurled personal abuse at another user yet again "stupid, idiot, senile" (the last of which could be incredibly offensive to some users). You had a completely valid point and you made your case and he disagreed, that went round in circles but only one of you resorted to name calling and you come off the worse for it, perhaps if you can't handle yourself in a debate (even if you clearly feel passionate about it) perhaps you shouldn't enter into a back and forth.

Sorry professor, won't do it again.

You can do what you want, its a forum, just like others can show you up for it.

So you are showing up, great.
