Nice to see the posed group photo of all the U75 LFC supporters who actually come from Liverpool.
That said, now Everton have qualified, I'd be quite happy (if not ecstatic) to see LIverpool win. Mind you, the last and only time I ever really wanted LFC to win a final (the FA cup vs park side Wimbledon) the gob-shites only went and lost, didn't they?
Yeah I suppose me living across the great gulf of the Mersey makes me one of those home county travelling reds
Any way here's something for your peoples club myth.
I was in the vice presidents suite at goodison on Sat I took my niece from Warrington
who at the age of ten is a very serious fan of your lot. A bluenose business partner of mine from shefield
has a table in the suite. We normally meet up with another bluenose from Essex
,who has a season ticket in the park end, for a few pints before the game in that lovely pub the Wilmslow.
Anyway that's a few asides but I was chatting to Brian Labone (as you do) about next season and he said that a few people in the suite are a bit upset at next year’s prices. The ticket currently costs £1,850 and next season it is set to rise to over £3K. Both the vice pres and the Alex Young suit are full of hardworking scousers who pay that little bit extra to do it posh and meet a few ex-players. They are not very happy and it certainly seemed to take the edge off the celebrations on sat.
I spoke to a couple of blues who often give me the once over cos they know I’m a red who said they’d even pulled Playwrite over it and he claims he knew nothing about the huge price increases.
It seems what is happening is if you want to keep your ticket in the posh bit for next season you have to pay for what was usually an optional meal. Meaning more sit down tables for expensive tax dodging clients and less bar space for the chang drinking local punters who pay over the odds to watch hoof it football.
‘Pushing out the people's club’ hey making way for the prawn sarnie brigade.
You heared it here first
