Oh, can that piece of sh1t be even called a paper.
Mackenzie your still a w*nker,fact.

Compared to some of the other "bigger" PL teams they charge there fans more then your 40 quid to an average game. I can't see how seating had a direct affect on the cost of tickets. If you want something agreeable with me to lay the blame on I would look no further then the players wages. That's what has sky rocketed. how else can any owner, not just our dopes, pay wages?

You should become a voice for workers rights in Liverpool. There is some chip on your shoulder boy as if the world and Liverpool FC are against you!!! You could be the next Jim Larkin a legend in my eyes!

I used to go on the old kop in the 1970's as a kid and believe me it was lethal.

Fainting was an every game event and the steps at the back of the kop after the match you literally took your life in your hands. By the grace of god there was no Ibrox if someone tripped or something. Once you got your spec you were stuck there until the end of the game. And the boys who had six pints in the pub well where do you think they relieved themselves?

We look back romantically now but when I think about it the authorities and clubs were a disgrace allowing people to be in situations like that. I really do shudder when I think back now.

That said small strips carefully controlled I see no problem if that’s what some people prefer.

We will never go back to the old days though.

PS, anyone remember the boys pen ? the monkey pen at chester Zoo is the best analogy I can give. It was safe though but a madhouse. That again just demonstrates how the club knew the main kop area was dangerous.

no chip on my shoulder mate just hate to see the game i loved ruined by greed. yes players are greedy and they've certainly taken advantage of the influx of cash from sky and increased ticket prices.

of course seats have raised the prices. seats came in long before sky and sitting down was always more expensive than terracing because it was viewed as the option for the more upper class fan.

as for liverpool being cheaper than most others... does that make it ok to charge £38 a ticket?

sorry but lfc have bigger crowds than most clubs and too be truthful a lot of clubs charge less than we do. anyway i remember a time when lfc stated that "they will never forget the working class fanbase in liverpool and will keep prices as low as possible" that's why the kop is a massive £2 cheaper than the anfield road end and the rest of the ground!

Kopite,have you ever contacted the club about the prices? would be interesting to see would they reply to you.

If his letter was anything like some of the posts he leaves on here they'd call the police.

actually i filled in the recent survey on the official site. my main concerns were the boring football and rip off ticket prices. hopefully enough fans will have said the same and they might take notice. ie sack rafa and make it a quid a game!
