Pre-season 2022
« Reply #2361 on: June 12, 2022, 02:24:38 pm »
Getting bored of the transfer thread already and couldn't see another thread on pre-season, so...

Not long now until the lads are back in training and pre-season starts. The schedule looks like this:
16th June - PL fixtures announced this Thursday
2nd July – Back for pre-season training
12th July – Friendly v Man United in Bangkok
15th July – Friendly v Crystal Palace in Singapore
European Training Camp is yet to be confirmed, likely back in Austria. Probably a couple of friendlies thrown in.
31st July – Community Shield v Man City in Leicester
6th August – New season begins

We'll also probably have a local friendly between the Community Shield and first league game for anyone who's late back to training and needs minutes in their legs (they'll be unlikely to start the first game).

Things to discuss:
Our first overseas tour for a while - anyone have any great memories from past tours?
Any overseas reds looking forward to seeing the lads in action?
Who of the new players will be getting a run out against Utd?
Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
Do you expect to see any formational or tactical tweaks honed in pre-season?
Any other surprises you have a hunch about?

No transfer or contract talk please.

Can't believe the season will be well under way before I'm back from me hols  :o

Tickets for Liverpool vs. Man United friendly more expensive than Champions League final

Fans in Bangkok are being charged an extortionate rate to see Liverpool vs. Man United in pre-season, with ticket prices higher than the Champions League final.

On Thursday, a joint announcement from Liverpool and Man United confirmed the two long-standing rivals will meet in a pre-season friendly in Thailand this summer.

Simply billed as ‘The Match’, the clash will take place at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on July 12, and is to kick off the Reds’ summer warmup.

It will be the first time Liverpool have embarked on a pre-season tour since 2019, and the first time they have headed to the Far East since 2017.

But it appears organisers are cashing in on the rarity of the visit, and the profile of the friendly, with ticket prices revealed ahead of the pre-sale on April 1.

There are seven price bands, ranging from 5,000 baht in category 5 to 25,000 baht in the ‘platinum’ seats, which run along the sides of the pitch.

It seems as though the majority of seats are within the ‘silver’ band, which are priced at 20,000 baht a ticket.

For those in England, then, the prices range from £114 for the cheapest seats to £569.50 for the most expensive, while ‘silver’ tickets are £455.50.

The minimum wage in Bangkok is around £226 a month.

As significant an occasion this may be for those fans in the Far East who have long dreamed of seeing Jurgen Klopp‘s Reds, that is over £100 for the worst seat in the house.

There are no guarantees over the players involved for the friendly, with no real incentive despite the ‘Bangkok Century Cup’ being up for grabs.

And the ridiculous pricing structure is made worse when compared to tickets for the 2022 Champions League final – or even season tickets at Anfield.

In February, UEFA announced a price freeze for category 3 and category 4 tickets for the next three men’s finals, as well as providing 5,000 free tickets to each club this year as a goodwill gesture after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Category 4 tickets are priced at £59 and category 3 tickets at £151.80, while in 2021, category 2 tickets cost £380 and category 1 tickets £506.

Prices for tickets in categories 1 and 2 are likely to rise for 2022, but it remains staggering that Thai fans are being charged more for a pre-season friendly.

Meanwhile, Liverpool announced in March that season-ticket prices had been frozen for the seventh year running, with the most expensive tickets in the Main Stand priced at £869 for the campaign.

Though there are issues with availability when it comes to Liverpool season tickets – with over 70,000 people on the waiting list – the least expensive, sat in the far corners of the Kop, costs £685 for 19 Premier League games.

Does the club have any say in this, or is it up to the organisers? Pretty mad prices for a friendly against a pub team.  ;D

There's still plenty of internationals up till Tuesday. The United game is 4 weeks later, so I doubt will be a full team out anyway. I'd imagine quite a few will only return for training that week.

Guessing it's the organisers as Liverpool would never charge that for friendlies. Paid about £65 when we played Barca at Wembley 6 years ago and those weren't the cheapest tickets tho that was an ICC event.

Obvious greed but I guess they know it will sell out and probably would still sell out for double.
Some clubs were always destined for greatness...

Where's this from?

We only tend to play one home game prior to the beginning of the season don't we? Typically a 'bigger' side at home the week prior to the start of the season (recalling Dortmund, Barcelona, Napoli...) - will the Community Shield replace this usual match? It's high time I took my cousin to see a match, and 'that' friendly would be a good one.

Looking back, it looks as though we didn't have a home match in 2019 and had a lower-key match with Blackpool in 2020.

Likewise - my 6 year old is getting massively into the reds now and I want to take her to a pre-season game.

We had two last season on back-to-back days! Bilbao and Osasuna. Had Torino prior to that in 2018.

We didn't have one in 2019 as our opening game was moved to the Friday evening, but we were originally planning on playing Schalke in the midweek. Obviously 2020 was a write off with Covid.

Maybe we will organise one when we know when our first game of the season will be, but yeah we may see the Community Shield as being that game instead.

The Red Bull games will be part of our training camp I'm sure.

Assume the first group of players will return to pre-season on 4th July? Only 2 friendlies and the Charity Shield lined up so far. With the season starting on 6th August, it's going to be short pre-season for quite a few players.

They’ll just use the whole squad like they did a few years ago when we had games vs Barca and Mainz on consecutive days.

Community shield is just a high(ish) profile friendly, I think they can use 7 subs? So it’ll be a case of giving every player minutes.

It's not though. There are a huge number of people in Bangkok earning far above the national average, which is dragged down by the rural farming communities. Bangkok is expensive and yet the roads teem with cars, there is plenty of money. Thailand is not a third world country any more.

Sounds like everyone is coming back next week, despite some playing on for an extra 2 and a half weeks. No real choice with the season starting early.
And if the rain stops, and everything's dry.. she would cry, just so I could drink tears from her eyes.

I think the last one to play was Konate on the 13th of June, so most will get four weeks or more of holidays. Not bad compared to the last few summers.
