The two biggest problems with the atmosphere if we step away from the most basic ones (the high price, seating and lack of seats) are the:
* The Old regular fuckers who all over the ground, but sadly lots of them on the kop. Typical Behaviour: texting, chatting with their phone during YNWA, slating our players off for 90min (but don´t give a fuck about slating the ref och their players) , leave 10min before the final whistle etc
* The tourists. Typical Behaviour: Half and half scarf, scandinavian/european accent, iphone/ipad and a selfie stick, filming and taking photos at every opportunity even if Ronaldo or Rooney just scores in front of them.
The solution:
Send out information to every ST holder at the start of next season that if they dont want/cant contribute to the Atmosphere they could leave The Kop and get a good place at Main stand or centenary for the same cost, the message is clear: If you want to be on the kop you want to help the team win the game =contribute to the atmosphere. Would propably free up a couple of hundreds/thousands tickets on the kop.
Much harder control on the black market and current ST holders to stop the touting. Its ridiculous really, because its from matchtickets.com etc were all the tourists get their tickets from. And those sites get their tickets from ST and membership holders selling their tickets off for a 100€ profit. Know some "reds" who makes huge money from selling their tickets to these sites.
Also limit the number of Thomas Cook tickets or at least put all of them and other hospitality shite in the upper Main stand when its built, as far away from the pitch as possible.
Then earmarked the "new" tickets on the kop with a 30-40% discount to u-21 scousers. I´m a scandinavian myself but my belief is that Anfield, or at least The Kop should be 90% liverpudlians. From going to lots of games, home and away, its the young generation that keeps the atmosphere going and will be the heart of this club for the next 50 years. Sadly though they are very few of them, went to Palace away and could hardly see a scouser, even less a young one. Palace away was the last game I´ll will see with the reds. I have just lost interest, in modern football in general but also in my beloved club. Whats the fun at being at Anfield with moaning bastards and people around you who dont give a fuck about the club, they just care about a good instagram picture and a day out. I wont attend anfield or a liverpool game until the club makes any efforts to solve this fucking shite. Until then I will give my cash and focus to Spirit of Shankly, who hopefully along with the Spion Kop lads can get a bit involved with the atmosphere and adress the issues mentioned above.
