Thanjk you.

I think all that has happened in the past 2 months has pushed me towards that one. Has the game ever been so blatant that the fans simply don't matter?
The football authorities, the clubs themselves. I watch matches so much more detachedly than I used to.
Even the little things get me down.
The copper who comes into the paddock and points at people for swearing at the game, as if they're causing any sort of public order offence. Over zealous ****.
The fact I've seen Ged Poynton threaten to remove someone's season ticket for the same.
The fact when we reach a major final its run by a football authority who are cowardly, corrupt and inept.
The fact that they feel free to openly **** all over us through comments by their key propagandist and get away with such blatant slander.
The fact that the minimal amount of tickets we get is automatically gobbled up by corporate sponsors.
The fact that every time someone complains we're told this is the natural order of things in the "modern game" and that we have to like it or lump it.
The fact that a **** load of TV money comes into the game and yet our season ticket prices still go up to the tune of over £2 per game.
The fact that people are talking about 100,000 pound a week footballers when the average weekly wage is about £450 a week, and may of us (me included!) earn WAY lower than that - and instead of them taking a few grand less per year we're having to pay £40 more a year instead.
I just can't take the game at face value anymore. They've made their contempt so clear that I can't help but look behind it all the time.
Its ugly and its horrible, and that includes LFC.
Prices are reaching the point where I simply can't afford it anymore. Given that I chose to be a musician (my choice yes I know!) and given that its hideously badly paid then thats nearly 10% of my annual wage.
Those of you who are on 30,000 a year, would you really pay out 3k on a season ticket given how badly you're treated in return.
Would you put all major personal projects on hold, including paid ones, just to see the Reds play at home against Wigan, like I did last year.
I can't see me doing it much longer.
The TV is so much cheaper. And yes I know going to the game is so much better (SOME of the time!) but can you really make a convincing argument that its worth the difference.
Because I'm struggling!
This is no less of a "**** on you" business model than Tesco. But at least with Tesco they're scared of us going to Asda or Sainsbury so treat their customers with at least some respect.
As you can see, a season ticket looks near certain to become available very soon.
I can watch it on TV for next to nothing. I don't have to volunteer to be on the front line when their hurling out the ****.
