What does the team think? Sympathy? No sympathy? LIFELONG Liverpool FC fan spoke of her rage after the club changed her season tickets so it can develop the corporate hospitality market. Susan Roberts, whose two Anfield Main Stand seats have been in her family for 108 years, said the club lacked “honour” and have treated long-standing fans in a “shoddy manner”. The 67-year-old Mossley Hill resident was one of 55 season ticket holders who were informed that the club wanted to make changes to the stand in order to “better link” lounges and seating facilities in readiness for next season. The area set for change includes the first five rows of the Main Stand. All 55 season ticket holders were given the chance to select different seats elsewhere in Anfield. But Mrs Roberts does not want to leave the seat from where she has watched the Reds from for more than six decades. Sue, of Fawley Road, said: “Just for the sake of wanting to make money from hospitality clients the club are treating long-term season ticket holders extremely shoddily. There is no honour in what they are doing to ordinary fans here. “The seats have been in my family for over 100 years and for them to be taken away is a disgrace. My grandmother Minnie Hartley McKnight originally accepted them from Thomas Valentine (T.V.) Williams who worked for Liverpool. “In later life he became the club’s chairman and was central to bringing in Bill Shankly as manager.

unfortunatly many season ticket holders have been treated with contempt by lfc over the years. I have a friend that was a season ticket holder at anfield for years...since the early seventies..then one day in the 90's his wife renewed his ticket for his birthday...then come the first game he was told to go to the office at anfield were he was told he was in possesion of a stolen season ticket ..which was completely untrue...this greatly upset my friend as the club issued no apology or anything to him at all whatsoever...and from that day he has remained totaly disgusted with the club and refrained from going to games..he was a regular home away and europe...traveling to rome on nothing more than a platform ticket at limestreet in 77 ,like many did :lol: ...hes also known to have penned the hit lfc song ..fook em all :lol: about cloughies forest lol... so its nothing new on lfc behalf realy to diss good fans.I also know of fans that were so discusted at lfc over things when meeting players that they changed to everton when everton were so receptive to them

I was unfortunate enough to go to the Fulham game at Anfield towards the end of the season. Not only did any of the players seem to give a shyte about the shirt they were wearing{apart from a seventeen year old lad who got 15 minutes towards the end} but the atmosphere was non existent save for a pocket of voiciferous Londoners. I was surrounded by many different accents, none from Merseyside, each mumbling inane comments. The Kop sat silent throughout, apart from the booing at the final whistle, although I thought I heard something from that end when they were given their flags to wave before the start of the match. I refused to pay 3.50 for a half of flat Carlsberg at half time. Big Ron Yeats, sitting a few rows behind in the Centenary stand left with ten minutes to go with the other third of our so called supporters shaking his head as he looked to the floor. I stayed with my brother and brother in law, who kindly provided the tickets, and I applauded Fulham's victory, as people used to do when Liverpool were outplayed at home {not very often at all I must say} but my applause were drowned out by the booing. The pocket of happy Londoners looked as shocked by this as I was. All seemed very foreign to me as I do not usually get home during the season and I haven't attended a game at Anfield for a good few years. The times are not changing they have changed and I have finally come to realise that the Anfield I once called home and the Liverpool I once knew have now passed into history. |

Was sat in the main stand a few years back when we played Crewe in the League Cup! Now my brother will sing and chant no matter were he is in the ground! Anyway my brother and I started singing along with the kop and a couple a few rows back called over to us and asked if we could stop singing then went on to say 'If you want to sing next time sit in the kop' I won't repeat what reply we gave them! |
