ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[hullefc]

I dont see why they are protesting at all. It is the prices they pay, for the players they demand that drives these prices. Tell them, we'll knock 50% off your season ticket price and sell sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho, Moreno and not offer Gerrard a new contract. Plus we'll have a self enforced transfer embargo for 18 months, then they'll not be happy.

they laugh at how skint we are, while bemoaning what they have to pay. The club would not of been bought by the people it was bought by if they thought it wouldn't make money. Same goes for every single club whose supporters have turned up en masse at these things. Spurs fans were demanding the use of the Bale money to buy new, expensive players in the truck load, yet if you told them that the sale of Bale (or indeed Suarez from the RS) was going towards reducing ticket prices, they'd call them rotten.

The first smattering of protests against ticket prices did not involve any of the SKY 4 United, Arsenal, Chelsea and the RS. They became quite prominent/'took charge'/had the spokespeople during the protest marches to the Premier League HQ. But they deliberately limited the protest to away tickets. The protesters did not want to engage in any conversation that would affect the income for their clubs overall i.e home ticket prices. Because it was this money along with their income from Sky and the CL that helped them keep in the top 4.

Arsenal fans started to campaign about home tickets prices, paying the highest in the league, as a general protest against not winning things. This latest attempt at Anfield is due to them having CL money and them thinking they will be in the CL for the foreseeable future, so LFC would not lose out. And therefore are still able to splash out £120 million.

To be fair, if they used that to 'reduce' ticket prices here, the tickets would be free. Thats more money than we get in a year from gates.

Ask those that were at last night's atrocity!

Ha, I was there and i can see your point! I don't think Everton can be faulted for the costs of tickets though, my season ticket in the Top Balc sets me back £65 a month by direct debit which should be within the means of most people who want to go the game, the kids season tickets for £100 also cannot be faulted.

How do you pay for that if you dont mind me asking?

Do you pay each month and have the ticket or do you have to pay 12 months in advance?

Im guessing as well a payment doesnt go through you dont get in type of deal.

A particularly RAWKish excuse for Mario

Other than historical context (which of course matters but is technically irrelevant, there is no difference between connecting jewish people with a love of money and people from Liverpool with a love of crime (factually incorrect as it is).

As regards Mario, remember the lad is italian, he retweeted a picture, the picture had text, in English.

I know for one that I could read french if I took the time but I didn't look closely I would not recognise racism in a french sentence, I'd have to put some effort in. I'm sure Mario, and his mother, would have been just as offended as anyone (well not as much as some) had he noticed this bit.

Storm, teacup, tos*ers, press, witchhunt (witchist?), FA, tos*ers, ridiculous.

Clutching at straws, that, but it's not completely beyond the realm of possibility.

I just pay each month, your total season ticket price gets divided by the number of months you want to pay it over, so for example £650 divided by 10 months=£65 a month, and if your payment bounced they would probably de-activate your season ticket card. I don't think the reds get the option of spacing out the payments on their season tickets either.

It is sound how you can pay each month, saves having to find hundreds all at once,the kids season tickets are only £100 as well I think.

I see Liverpool are now ahead of us on the table. This will be my last visit to this thread until that situation is redressed

To be fair, you lot didn't have the advantage of spending £200 million over the last 3 seasons, or that's what I've read that Brenda has spent.

Liverpool are DIRE this season. They won't finish anywhere near 4th.

So you only laugh at the RS when we are above them?

Last season must have been a real downer for you then

As a Manu fan and new here, you need to go back a couple of hundred pages at least to get a real feel for what a set of knobheads the RS really are, watch some of the awesome YNFA videos and wallow in the fun we have at their expense.

Oh believe me mate, I know what a bunch of tits they are. I used to be surrounded by them in my school growing up in the 80s, when they were good. I was the only kid who wore a Man Utd shirt at school. The rest wore Man City, Pool and Villa shirts.

The march was in June 2013 but it took them until November 2014 to launch their first demo against their own club.

Wolves fans plan to "Take Back The Game"

A group of Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters are fighting to “take back the game” – and they plan to start with a ten-minute silent protest at Wolves v Sunderland on Sunday.

Lightweights. Liverpool fans have been holding 89 minutes protests for years. They sometimes muster up the energy to sing that god awful song at the end,
