Hurumph
« on: August 5, 2010, 12:59:14 pm »
Gibbed the auto-ticket scheme as part of the protest against the owners and in an unprecedented move, the club have emailed me and given me a last chance to take it up.

I don't want to give the Yanks the money. But what if we get bought today or tomorrow or next week?

I'm in a quandry what to do now..

Obviously everyone gibbing it has caused the club to change its stance.

What do to? What to do?

If I don't go today that's the first unforced (Sickness/holiday) 'not going to Anfield' I can remember in the last - I don't know.. bloody hell.. probably nearly 20 years.

Do it, mate. I understand not wanting to give the Yanks money, but you'll still be a fan after they've gone. The takeover is in the end-game now, don't put your future as a fan in jepoardy.
I don't agree, he'd go to Legoland. Bye.

How dirty will you feel if you backtrack and Jabba and growth stick around, mate? Will that outweigh the gutted feelings if we get new owners?

I think that we're all a bit wiser and realise that nothing is finalised until the deal is done......

China’s CIC denies interest in Liverpool FC

A spokesperson for China Investment Corp, the country’s main sovereign wealth fund, told the Financial Times on Thursday they had never heard of a plan to buy Liverpool or of Kenneth Huang, the man widely reported to be fronting a Chinese bid to buy the English Premier League club......

Well. Never renewed it. At home now. Feel very strange seeing Anfield and me not in my ST seat.

Just hope it's going to be worth it.

Proud of you mate and there where quite a few empty seats there tonight so you are far from alone in taking this stance. :wave

Understandable though, we're all gutted. However, you're not alone. You ultimately have joined the lads who have decided to fight for their beliefs and put individual agendas secondary. YNWA.

If it's any consolation Andy I sat there feeling like I didn't belong for the first time in my life....wishing I'd stayed at home.

:thumbup
didnt go myself.
normally do to this sought of game.
Saved thirty quid,felt fucking brilliant...enjoyed watching it on the box,no hastles getting home blah blah.
Oh and got a cuppa in at half time too...
joking aside,it was a bit frustrating coz it was an enjoyable atmosphere an all that ,but still glad i didnt go all up.
Was suprised there was that many there to be truthfull....30,000 they said on the telly.
thats probably a couple of hundred grand short of a million in a slimy arse pocket....ahhh well
Maybe if we dont sell to a goodun by next year,we can abandon all support?


on the football front,so many positives to take out of that one.

I'm happy to have avoided that tonight to be honest. I was a little annoyed at myself at about 6pm but by 10 I was glad.

The absolutely bottom line is that it is quite good to have a different seat for cup games. If you go the auto option you always get the same seat.
The next-to-bottom line is that we should do just something to make the administrators realise we are not just sheep.
There is a top line too, but I have forgotten what it is.

You have to wonder if the auto cup scheme boycott and the attendance last night had an effect on this or not.

You don't get the same seat.  My seat has been taken by the 'European Family' in the last few yrs for Champs Lge games and I got shunted to a corner of the cent stand.

Funnily enough this never happened in the Europa last term.

Wouldn't know about this term, as won't be going.

I wanted to boycott but my mate renewed on his card and automatically put me down for the autocup as we'd always been in it and as he was  doing me a big favour had to accept it. I totally wanted to boycott but no point after it's been paid for. I'll be honest, I felt like a scab going the match last night, when the usual suspects started groaning when ever Lucas touched the ball. I looked around and thought to myself, what the fuck am I doing here, felt like an outsider at Anfield last night, surreal An outsider after literaly decades of being part of something so special and different.

Like most people at about 7 o'clock. felt gutted that I wasn't there but felt glad I hadn't caved in after the game. Don't have a season ticket but not missed a European game at home for years.
Haven't renewed me membership yet but managed to get tickets for Arsenal, felt pissed right off on the first day of sales, had the eleven credits & thought I had no chance in the general sale or late availability, what ever the fuck its called now. So happy days, £60 saved for the Mrs & my membership.
The day they fuck off, is the day I'll rejoin. Roll on.
