We have a real nitty-gritty problem in the post now. For the previous 30-odd years since I've had two season tickets at Anfield, our renewals went out in late-May/June to be paid by mid-July. Not now, oh no! The new owners have re-priced the stadium meaning fans in the block fewer than 6 seats from us have a £60 increase over the higher-than inflation price of ours and I was shocked to receive my renewals TWO WEEKS AGO! They have to be paid by mid May! That's sooner than mid July so what's going on there?
My son tells me he's not renewing so I'd have to go to the games on my own or find a regular travelling companion to have the other ticket. It's 50/50 as to whether I'll join the numbers not renewing which would have been unthinkable to me up to last season, but not any more. It's not the money, it's the inconvenience and the messing around in KO times and days that bother me.

If I was up there Paul I'd have your hand off (about a quarter of my matches in the late 80s were at anfield, when my neighbour would take me).
I've been to about a thousand and although I might think I could do without it - think about all the free time, mainly - I don't know how I'd cope with a dramatic change like this would be. I've been going for almost fifty years now and it's part of the fabric of my life. Had all the dramatic changes come at once, I'd have quit years ago but when they are drip-drip like they have been, you adapt to it and become accustomed. Win or lose is immaterial to me; I'd support them in the lowest divisions but when we are treated as nothing more than a source of revenue and given nothing back - other than the right to sit in the same seat for 19 home games a season and first-choice on aways, cup games etc - it starts to really get on your nerves. So it's quandary time for me right now. A real dial Emma.
This was the main reason why I didn't renew my season ticket.

Torres: is that a carbon mask?
It's back to the '80's weekend!I was at Chesterfield yesterday, their "stewards" were thugs, they were (obviously) doormen/security blokes. Stand on the goal line and watch the ground empty, or, get close and hope it kicks off? Like they were hoping all day.

Where the other 3/4s of my matches were of course. Mind you, still not been to the new ground, it's just not the same, can't even swap ends at half time....

Yeah..torres...whats with the mask? broken nose?? he looks like Zorro
It's a souless, drab & dreary stadium, like Shrewsbury's or Colchester's, they are so dispiriting, I know Saltergate was a dump but it was a quintessentially British lower league footie dump and I miss it.
The only new ground that I've been do that had some in-built identity was Rotherham's.

Now i see what the fuss is about. Friendly bunch arnt they
This has got nothing to do with the semi final, they're West Ham fans for starters and it was taken in Green Street outside Queen's Market, inbetween Upton Park and the tube station. Still no excuse though...
