Fantastic OP, and though a lot of it took awhile to take in (I'm sure I missed a couple of vital points, only because I don't know the importance of certain numbers), it's a great in depth report. I'm hoping sooner or later someone with time (and knowldge) and take Harinder's epic report and provide a summary of the key points and conclusions. When I'm discussing this with my colleagues and friends, it would be great if I could have some key points and conclusions to present (for people with my limited knowledge on the subject).
Once again, OP was much appreciated, and helpful. It must have taken a lot of time and energy!
Maybe, but he has a very prominent role and he would have some sort of say in these things.
I think his responsibility is far more than that. He should know better. He knows the current trend within England, especially in Liverpool, with reference to ticketing. Presumably, he would have been in a better position than FSG to gauge the potential response to the ticket price changes, and he must have given them the green light. In fact, I'd go as far as to say he underestimated the understanding and knowledge of the supporters on the whole ticketing process, and probably thought he was smarter than the average supporter and would easily pull the wool over our eyes. Either that, or he just assumed we'd be too weak and submissive to make any sort of protest.
Thankfully, we've shown otherwise. We've got the likes of Harinder, Sp, and undoubtedly numerous others that are clearly knowledgeable about the current situation, and we've also got a supporter base that is willing to stand up together and make a statement, as shown by the weekend's protest.
Now we'll see how FSG turn this around. They'll know that
we'll know, whatever their next move is will show their true intentions and commitments as per their relationship with the supporters.
