    Matchday revenue is not even 25% of your turnover & a 9% increase will equate to way less than Carraghers annual salary in real terms.

    So increasing ticket prices as it stands, isn't the difference between competing at the highest level & not, but it will end up being the difference between the working man, going or not.........

    p.s. Your wage bill is more than double ours, so ****ing what?

    Please re-read my first paragraph before proclaiming my argument to be "somewhat flawed"!

    Your current wage bill i.e. in the present, is double ours.

    As an 'investment' what are the backers of LFC getting for their money over what Kenwright & Co are at Goodison in 2013????

    I'll answer it for you, a GD lead in the league, as it stands, having played a game more. Whooopppeeee do.

    p.s. You brought this subject up don't forget <ok>

    It's called feeling entitled and is pretty epidemic in our society today - the fact that many on benefits still find a way to buy flat screens and subscribe to sky

    I read the first paragraph. I then read the rest. I then gave my opinion. If you have an issue with it, I suggest you explain what's wrong with it and not ask me to read something I've already read.

    30,000 season tickets sold at £800 is £24m. That doesn't include one of tickets and other revenue streams. They don't just put tickets up because they feel like it. There's a reason. That may not suit but it's there nonetheless.

    Hence the squad, the stadium, the trophy room, the prospects of success in future being much better than yours.

    So you'd agree that a 9% hike in ST's isn't going to make any real difference in terms of 'competing' then?

    Indeed that's the present situation, however the transition seasons won't always be upon us. Everton have had ten years of building and have still won **** all. We're on the up. <ok>

    We win trophies at a reasonable rate. Everton have gone a generation without a cup. Liverpool are a proper football club. Everton are just there to make up the numbers in the league.

    Are you incapable of comprehending what the term 'present' actually means?

    Your trophy room, the 'prospects' & the stadium have precisely **** all to do with the CURRENT wage bill & the perceived value compared to Everton in 2013 i.e the present, this season, currently, as in now.

    p.s You brought this up, I'd leave it there if I was you pet.

    I'd argue that it isn't 9%, it's 5% on the most expensive season ticket, with 9% going on the most expensive one off ticket. At least if BBC are a worthy source. So I worked it out at about £5 a month for the season ticket or £5 a ticket for a one off ticket, whilst it doesn't break the bank for the fan, it's very beneficial for the club. If fans don't like it, don't buy, there's plenty more waiting. It's different than Everton, which is probably why you're confused. There aren't empty seats every week with the stadium emptying at 35 minutes like yours. There's a demand, it's simple supply and demand. To compete, the club have to get in line with the other big boys but caring about the fans and knowing the situation for the working class man in Liverpool, they keep the prices way below the other big boys.
