I have thought deeply about it. I am a City supporter so I do not countenance a 'so called supporter' righting off the team I support in order to get attention. Until it is mathematically impossible for City to remain in the EPL, there is ALWAYS hope.

You are using the past to predict the future. On that basis I will go and buy the last set of Euro Millions winning number for the next draw, I'm bound to win using your logic.

Sorry, but I disagree. We don't need to win games by 3, 4, 5 goals to improve the goal diff', though it would help:) If we do win the required games (lets say 7) by just one goal then our goal diff would reduce by at least 7 taking us to -16 and if Watford, Wetspam and Villa lose the same number of games by the same margin the their GD will be -23, -20 and -22

Much as tho' I agree with a lot of the above. I have to ask, why strengthen the bench if they only ever get 5mins?

A true true legend, RIP big man. A minutes applause Sunday at 78 mins?? Preceded by a rousing chorus of: 'SIX FOOT TWO, EYES OF BLUE, DUNCAN FORBES IS AFTER YOU, NA NA NANA NANA NA NA!!!!!

Not sure what the age barrier is, but have you been working on being miserable ? apparently I have mastered this one according to my family as they continually refer to me a 'miserable old git'!! I try and time my leaving so that I get near to the bottom of the stairs just as the whistle blows. This way I see all the match by the guys in the seats next to me thinks I'm leaving early, so I'm tagged as an early leaver, win win.

I too use Justpark, great for away games, concerts, etc While there is no comeback if your car gets damaged, I feel these are safer than a random carpark as you are in someones drive/garden.

For my sins I believe this to be nothing but a money grab by the club. Yes I got the tickets I wanted. However, I like most on here think the £50 just to join the queue is a rip off. Couple that with the £35 membership scam, again a money grab. This will be re-enforced when the club confirm there will be NO refunds, sorry RBF I only managed a couple of away games last year, and not much more a carra (ill health). As such the old points system did not help me, but it was fairer to those who went to a greater number of away games than this current abomination. As for having to join two membership schemes, did I say this was a money grab❓

GOT OURS

Off to Anfield tomorrow, Any suggestions on where to eat?

Your question was, imo, intrusive, hence my response. I gave additional details about my life as it appeared that you needed such information, hence your challenge. (was that the induction ceremony for the newbe?) However I am going now, which is all that is important to me 😂 and my youngest son who is also going.

But only if you've paid your £50 to be in the lottery! 🙂

Not that it is any of YOUR business, but in previous years I devoted ALL of my spare time to my family. Yes I went to home matches as and when I could, both in time and finances. Now that I am close to retirement and my children are much older that is no longer such a big restraint. Last year I had a heart attack, so I feel more vulnerable hence my 'bucket list' comment! More recently my children have all gone through university, which for most of us costs a fortune, so bank of mum&dad came to the fore. Anything else you want to ask? inside leg measurement?

Got mine 🙂 Never been to Anfield, so another tick on the bucket list.

@VW/RTTB, Thanks guys, I appreciate your sentiment but I much rather have firsthand experience before I consider the individual to be a Richard Head. Bill has avoided 2 direct questions, spouted bo//oks but doesn't have any!

from what I have read, only you BILL has used the term 'optional' Prey show me, as a new be, where someone else has used that very term please.

I'm just waiting for his reply 🙂

NS, I understand your argument there, but how many times oversubscribed is enough? With an estimated 1500 casual seats available, circa 8000 memberships sold why are they still selling memberships?

Where has he actually stated that? Not your interpretation of what he wrote, but what he actually posted. Please show me as I can not see it anywhere!

I, like you must have been close to the front of the queue. No waiting and managed to get a pair in the back of the Barclay. Done and dusted by 9:03. two tenths of not a lot left now!

And for those of us who bought the home membership: "7873 home memberships sold" With only 1500 casual tickets available, that's a 1 in 5 chance for £50😢 Still, the club are quids in 🤑

For me this just confirms my view that this was purely a money making exercise. The club has lost out due to the cap on away ticket prices. They also felt obliged to match that price for casual home supporters.

Having bought the home & away priority membership are they going to send me a second scarf + a flag?

Last season I had priority access to match tickets, cost £30 (no tie pin, key ring or scarf) This season I have priority access to match tickets, cost £100, tie pins/key ring & scarf included. So YES I do feel I've been done over. But I guess I must remember I am a plastic binner.
