posted over on red issue - re scousers v barca

[Fergiesarmy]

A lad here who supports Liverpool has just rang Anfield regarding the game tomorrow night, and said not only are tickets for Liverpool vs Barcelona (this time in the champions league, possibly the biggest game at Anfield in YEARS), still on open sale to the public, but there is over 10,000 tickets LEFT.

If that isn’t shit part time support I really do not know what is.

You’ll never walk alone my arse.


do any scousers want to check this out?

 

[barca99]

This cannot be true, after all, I was told on this very forum that 80,000 enquiries had been made for the game.

Or could it be that after years of trying to get through, the poor down-trodden Liverpool fans were so surprised that they actually had a chance of obtaining a ticket that they fainted in shock?

what's your problem mate?? Liverpool have a smaller fanbase than the Mancs (it is also a smaller city). Football is expensive to go to....people can't afford to go to every match. How many teams in the CL actually had full houses for all there games?? Just because somebody goes to a game it doesn't make them a more genuine supporter than those who don't.

 

[barca99]

Well according to the official LFC website they are NOT sold out. Though I suspect they've shot themselves in the foot by asking supporters to apply with their Dortmund ticket stubs <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

But... what's this.... not only do they have the faility of ordering tickets by phone, you can also order them over the internet and by post.

I feel I have been lied to

This is true, though I dont know why he pointed to the size of manchester when making a comparison. Everyone knows that no United fans come from Manchester <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Where did you get these rumours from, i tried getting my brother to get an extra ticket for a mate about a week ago and they told they'd sold out ages ago, and as i said i know a lot of people who had thier requests turned down (apparently there were about 80,000 requests for tickets).

Depsite all this sold-out talk, only 41,500 or so turned up in a 44,000 capacity stadium - what happened to the other 2,500?

41,521 !!!
I hate to defend scousers but does anfield have to lower the capacity for CL games like OT does because of the advertising hoardings? Just curious.

I still hate all things scouse <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" /> <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" /> <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

I know it happens at all CL games, I was being sarcastic.
