KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Attendance and atmosphere v Northampton

Wed promises to be a big night for some of our fringe players yet I imagine that we will be lucky to see a crowd in excess of 20,000 with a large contingent (a couple of thousand from NT). I just hope that for all these debut players that Anfield does create a reasonable atmosphere and the game isn't turned into a 'no-show' to hurt the whole ownership mess.

Have the Club done anything to encourage attending re lowering ticket prices at all?

if liverpool supporters are going to make a stand and keep away from games i rather they do it in the league and europe. am hoping the youngsters are given a chance to get match practice in the league cup, so it would be good for them to play in a full house and get the support from all fans

I wish none turn up for this game. These are the games that are most likely to be abandoned so it should be done in those cup games. It might affect our overall performance but as long as it hurts those cowards pockets as well then so be it.

Not too sure that I agree on a number of counts - not too sure of the coverage back home but in Oz we only have scun v scum and chelsea v barcodes so the exposure may be extremely limited with cable and TV. The main issue is that following Europa game when atmosphere seemed dull to say the least I would hope these youngsters get the maximum backing of a strong vocal support.

I hope that we go all the way in this Cup as this may be our most tangible route to silverware- sad maybe, but until we cut the cancer out of the Club we need to be realistic!

We have a waiting list for season tickets so in theory the crowd should be large.

I personally don't pick and choose my games, as long as i go then i'm doing my bit (for the team), its a pity we have big-game-charlies but nevermind

I dont think its a matter of big game charlies its more to do with cost and the way the economy is going. People cant afford to fork out for every game.

Don`t buy into this non supporting bit at all, we need to get behind the guys, pick up our performances and attract a new buyer. Who wants to buy a team like Bolton? we are heading that way with this sort of action.

agreed. scandelous price. also, people are entitled to go as often as they can. there's too much c*ck measuring going on amongst fans on this forum.

Young players must be fine with it coz they do play reserve games with empty stadiums, isn't it??

U're wrong, mate!! U certainly doesn't know the popularity of LFC outside europe!!! I'm referring to asia and africa.. These fans may have never been to anfield but wen u visit these countries, u can see many people wearing LFC shirt, caps, scarfs and track-suits.. ASk them abt LFC and u will know they are as ardent fan as u.. I have travelled to so many countries, i have seen it all.. Never seen a bolton shirt though, outside europe!! Often see shirts like man u, chelsea and now man city!! But LFC and Manure are by far very popular all across the globe along with Real madrid...
