Season Ticket Prices

Liverpool are a huge franchise, they couldn’t give a shit about the scouser fan.

Yeah, but they’re not McDonalds, are they? They haven’t got football grounds in every city in the world.

MK Dons don’t get called “the franchise” because of their huge size, y’know.

Call it a new model franchise call it whatever you want, a part of a franchise etc etc

They are not a football club like any other in this Country apart from United and they are poorer for it, the media love in with their special atmosphere etc etc makes me want to vomit.
They say this and sell the seat to anyone, they charge the Earth and they couldn’t give a shit about the scouser, they’re a business/franchise like no other concerning football.
Look at their shirt sales and their tours, whores and yet at the same time we are told they are a special club with special feans, special fucking cling on glory hunting fans. The locals are no better in many senses in delusion and looking backwards all the time, they backpassed their way to European glory 35 years ago.

Except, of course, that the club hierarchy has already met to discuss a response to the protest.

Your post would fit right in on the UI.

Has met who?
My post would fit anywhere perfectly on a football forum.

Either way it’s nice to actually see fans starting to take action.

A wave of apathy/continued steady ticket sales wasn’t putting any message across other than ‘keep doing what you like and we’ll keep paying’.

There was a board meeting following the protest.

Some members of the UI are presently distinguishing themselves by letting their hatred of Liverpool blind them to what was an excellent and effective protest.

These would be the same people that moan about modern football being rubbish, and too commercial.

You did that all in one post, and I believe you’re fond of the city!

Modern football in many is rubbish, I don’t go anywhere near the amount I used to due to other commitments and I’m glad in some ways.

It was only effective because of the media love in with Liverpool FC, if Southampton did it it wouldn’t have created a murmur, Everton the peoples club of Liverpool. Half of the Country wank over Liverpool, it makes me want to vomit.

Not just us it would seem. Apparently, our view that German ticket prices are very low is a bit wrong. Dortmund carried out a novel and interesting protest involving bombarding the pitch with tennis balls

Fair play to them, 51% owned by the fans as well, we sold our soul a long time ago, the Germans have the principle of ownership 100% correct.

so why are they protesting then? Why are they being charged €66 for a cup game match ticket? I’ve been to Germany a number of times and part of the reason is being able to watch good football for a reasonable price (20 euros) with a great atmosphere (and lots of great, cheap beer). But the fact is they’re saying things are changing and they don’t want to get to the point of being like England…theyre protesting before its too late. But if you’re saying they’ve got the ownership thing right, why are the prices increasing like they are?

There’s no way you can know this, and I rather suspect that it is bollocks. I think ten thousand fans doing a walkout from a home game any Premier League club would have made the news in similar circumstances.

The spirit of Shankly is a very powerful lobby group. Those 10,000 were the scousers.

Weren’t they away from home and it was a cup game?

Made news around the World? Changed the francises mission statement of turning fans into customers? Don’t be soft.

yes.

so if their ownership system is so good, why are they being charged such high prices?

well the Liverpool protest has worked… max ticket and season ticket prices frozen. A complete u turn from the club and good news…although max ticket prices are still £59 which is still extortionate.

Bazza bang on the dough again, I bet the twentys plenty group are crying, media love in.

This is a short thread, and I’ve read thorugh it all a couple of times, paying particular attention to your posts. Can’t seem to find any in which you say that Liverpool FC will bow to pressure from their supporters and abandon plans to increase ticket prices, though. In what other way are you ‘bang on the dough’? If what you meant to type was ‘Bazza bangs on the dough again’ then I really don’t want to know.

Try as I might, I can’t understand the second part of your post (the bit following the first comma). What the fuck are you on about?

It is a big club talking with a media love in, it’s not LFC bowing to pressure it’s the yanks who don’t want part of their operation damaged, I’ll say it again if we did it the media wouldn’t have been arsed and we would have been told to get to fuck by the club. I knew the yanks would fold, not because of the walkout but because of the biased media.
