Sorry Jurgen but this really got my back up!!
...“I heard the people in Liverpool are not 100 percent happy about that, because obviously we don’t do things like that in Liverpool.
“The problem is that yesterday there were only 1,000, 2,000 people, and it’s already difficult security-wise. If they go nuts we have a problem.
“What we try to do with the last game of pre-season, like a season opener, we want to give back to the people of Liverpool.
“We know it’s difficult, but we don’t want to give people the feeling that in the USA and Asia we are really close to people.
“We aren’t closer there, we just live in a hotel and not at home, so we come from the hotel and people are there. That’s a big difference.
“What we try with the game against Torino is to do something different to last year, to open it really for the Liverpool supporters from Liverpool, or the cities around.
“Hopefully they take that, because I don’t think people fly in from all over the world to Liverpool to see that game.”
So it's ok that so many members couldn't get tickets last week because they can go to this?! Because people who travel for the experience can't be bothered.
And they usually show pictures of events where the players meet the fans over there, but that doesn't happen here, so I can understand people thinking they are closer when on tour
Don't get me wrong, I like Jurgen a lot, but this doesn't sound like him talking, more like a PR manager! :
I fear the days when they understood us* are long gone.....
(* us here being not just locals but others around the NW or even other parts of the UK).
