[PL] Sunderland (H): Post Match Thread

[dom9]

How amazing would it be if Leicester won the league, with Ranieri as manager, having blown the big spenders and names out of the water.

A true fairytale in this climate, when that word is often used to describe a minor cup upset.

Common ye Foxes.

[dom9]

funny how the people who dont go the game think the prices are ok which they'll never pay.

Yep. Totally.

I'd pay whatever as a one off every few years treat. I'm not a local, I'm the tourist. I'll add nothing to the atmosphere, but I'd like to be there if I can.

I can't go every week though. Impossible, logistically, and I've kinda lost a lot of passion for it. So I'll pay the rate for my ticket once every few years.

I'm part of the problem. I admit it.

But I'm behind you guys who are what the club and the fabled atmosphere stood for.

thats it if you are paying for flights, hotels etc etc whats an extra tenner on a treat you do infrequently, however if going the game on Saturday is just usual business, with your dad/uncle/mates every other Saturday those tenners add up, add in the cost of raising kids, then them wanting to go the game but you have to buy them an adult ticket because the club have so few child tickets available. I duno why i'm even bothering posting this tbh. its just depressing, but the number of people over the years ive sorted off here from all over the world with tickets, showing them around the city, even staying in my house a bit of support wouldn't go a miss, the value of the core support isn't appreciated in Boston

Yep. I totally get you.

[BG1973]

You are a year behind me in age and outlook.

Welcome to middle age. It's nice here actually.

it's terrible.

We're a shower of **** and I couldn't give a ****.

I pity the 20-35 yr Olds. Must be killing them. Would've me.

Ridiculous to walk out today - like the unions trying to resist reality and look what happened to them. How many fans are paying stupid amounts to goto a game via Thomas Cook ripoff packages and your complaining about cat A games at 77 UKP - supply and demand. id bite your hnd off to get a ticket for a game at that price but I cant get tickets as half the fans dont give season tickets back when they should which reduces supply and inflates prices. After them rescuing us in court your now slagging them off. I think its bang out of order

Where to start with this?????

[Roboklopp]

No we can't just rebuild every year but under a capable manager it is possible to rebuild in the right way and not just spunk hundreds of millions on absolute garbage.... like the previous managers.

Klopp will get his chance to rebuild. I don't think he's the messiah or anything like that but he has proven himself on the big stage and clearly has an eye for a player & I would be very surprised if will put up with the sub standard plodders we currently have. he's stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

We do need a rebuild, it's ridiculous having to do it every summer but the major difference this time is that we won't be losing anyone we'll miss. Every summer the rebuild comes when one of out top players is snatched away, this time we decide who we want gone.

It has to be done IMO and will be.

Aye

[Lecter]

I have season tickets depending on the increase I will review my decision for next season

I reckon it currently works out about £45 per game. We all expect rises but it's when those rises become unmanageable

A £5-10 per game probably wouldn't have me wavering a £20 per game rise would particularly when you extrapolate it over multiple season tickets

Yeah i have no problem with it.

I forked out $190 to watch our ****ing second string play when they came here.

[Havors]

In Klopps first years at Dortmund there was a massive turnaround of players, in his first summer he got rid of players like Degen, Kovac, Pienaar, Buckley and Petric, all in all 13 players left and 9 arrived, Subotic among them, granted not all seniors, I think.

The following summer 7 players arrived like Hummels, Barrios, Bender and Grosskreautz, 6 left.

Third summer saw six players arrive, Lewandowski, Kagawa, Piszczek among them and another raft leaving.

Almost all of his summers have seen some upheaval, I think 5 or 6 players in and out are not out of the picture.

He didnt have Ian Ayre in charge when he was at Dortmund though.... FML he needs to **** off.

I have been on the waiting list for 16 years. I am now 209th on the list and will get offered one this summer... It will guaranteed be one of the new £1k+ ones which I wont be able to afford. 16 years and get shafted at the end of it....

It's an absolute joke. The club just take the piss out of the fans and expect us to just sit back and take it. We pay an absolute fortune to follow them and they serve up the same limp ****e on the pitch week in week out and still take home their millions.

I love LFC with a passion and all my life it has been a part of me, my father and grandfather and never in all that time have I felt so detached from the club and what it has become. The utter arrogance of the club and that **** Ayre who himself comes from Liverpool in coming out trying to defend this increase has astonished me. This isn't London and people here don't earn London wages so you can't charge London prices for a football match ffs.

Also that interview with that dickhead Wenger the other day really got to me where he said the TV money will be going on making people like him, players and agents in the game richer rather than making it more affordable to the fans.

I use to love going the game with my dad and brother but over the years this has become less and less to the point where I was going the game on my own but even I can no longer justify spending the money on a £50 ticket now. I'm absolutely gutted I can no longer go the games when it used to be a regular thing not so long ago.

Apologies for the rant guys just trying to let out some of the feelings I have about the whole situation. If I'd have been at the game yesterday I'd have walked out to, however the beauts who were singing get out of our club are completely different group of ballbags

I think Wenger is far from a dickhead for highlighting how the huge increase in money is going to be spent... nice for someone in that position to shed some honesty on the situation.

[poorscousertommy]

Anyone blaming the walk out on that utter dog **** capitulation is an idiot imo.

We must've been walking out all season.

And if you don't see the issue behind the protest you probably don't go the game.
