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

[roydo]

They just want them back so they can sell them to the Tourists themselves, their ticket's are touted on a mass scale though, I know fella's who have 40/50 member's cards and season tickets that are punted every home game for well over the odds, they make thousands out of it

That still goes on? Last I heard was a while ago, and it was like properly organised with registers and all sorts. Thought the technology and social media stuff would have made it more difficult these days.

What's this I've just heard about them asking fans not to buy tickets from outside agencies?
Surely best fans in the world wouldn't want to profit from their own, would they?

The Norwegians have to get their tickets somewhere. I know for derby games I can get tickets in Dublin handy enough of travel agents , but
A) it’s pricey as a package
B) I’d be sitting amongst the RS hoardes

I think it's a bit of a pain in the arse for them collecting all the cards back in after the game but they just take a deposit and tell the buyer to meet them after it in a pub by the ground or something

I personally have numerous friends who own multiple season-tickets or fan cards for that tin shed and for every game at least a handful of them are selling tickets. Even last night, there were two tickets for sale at £40 each and I've seen more today.

So to answer @roydo's question, yes it still goes on and it annoys a lot of the more decent, ol' arse fans who I know as they end up sitting with new tourists each week.

It shows no matter where a red is based, their level of delusion is pretty much standard across the board.
Had a conversation in work before with a widnes kopite who delightfully remind me to "watch out for us next season we've got rid of the deadwood, now we're back" ....

I give up with them

their squad is so thin that if they got rid of the deadwood they would only be left with their starting XI.

My mate came over from Barcelona with his Mrs and his brother in law to watch Liverpool Chelsea. Paid £80 inc £10 deposit each online and had three cards sent to my house. They came with a stamped addressed envelope for a PO Box in Manchester and they posted them back outside Anfield after the game and got their deposits paid back onto their credit card.

Best thing was that the original game was postponed so when they came out the first time I took them to watch us beat Chelsea in the FA Cup. They'd never seen anything like Goodison Park and are now honorary blues and follow our games.

I hope Wenger wins the league cup and the Europa so that fraud Klopp is once again left empty handed whilst the media makes out he’s a genius but the trophy winners are dinosaurs.

I wouldn't mind if the goons won something, just because it might mean another year for Wenger, and Wenger's sheer existence upsets Piers Morgan, and anything that upsets that helmet is fine by me.

Also, it means no trophies for Liverpool. Because if they do win the FA Cup the endless 'lol 1995 lol' ~bantz will be extremely grating, not that it isn't already.

RAWK thread on tennis crowing about "The Woz" Wozniacki just winning the Australian Open because "she's a red".

28 year search for a title now officially over.

Do Liverpool not do StubHub?

This is the real issue right there, they hate other people making money out if there brand

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Whilst I'm here, their level of banter is just awful.

I don't know if Evertonians have a superior sense of humour because we've needed to develop one to stay sane or if it's for another reason.

Whatever the kopites are the unfunniest cretins on the planet. I swear Carragher could tweet, 'eh lads, you reckon da bloo shoite are called da bloo shoite because they all stink of shoite?!'

And he'd get about 100,000 kopites going, 'omg Carra lad az just wrekt da bloos!'

Bunch of weirdos.

Yep. See also: 'lol Everton wives run for your lives'. Domestic violence is just hilarious, amirite?

And yes, we are well aware that we have won sweet FA since 1995, thank you so much for pointing that out, you clever people.
