So what your saying is that people who want a season ticket but arnt members shouldn't be allowed to buy one? Ha try telling the owners that!Originally Posted by fy7reds
Imagine someone saying to them here's £800 for a season ticket but Mr Henry saying sorry your not a member hahaha
We need to maximise our fan base not limit it.
Mr Henry knows how many of these people on the waiting list are worth bothering about, therefore there wont be any new stadium.
So he knows how 20/30 thousand people are thinking!
He is a better owner than i thought
So he knows what over 30,000 people are thinking! Haha, this is comical mate.
If there is no new stadium it will be solely down to finances not fan base
How can that be so.? I wouldn't be so sure about that.
we wont fill a 70,000 seater stadium partcipating in the europa league.
We need to get CL football first.
What team would!
You do understand that when we get CL football we don't get a 70,000 seater overnight. These things take time to build.
i realise this,but getting things right on the pitch must be a priority considering the financial wealth it brings.
To get things right on the pitch we need to be competing off it, it's a vicious circle. We have to be fully committed to both
So he knows how 20/30 thousand people are thinking!
He is a better owner than i thoughtHe knows how many of these people on the list are also members or even fancard holders and therefore how often they can be arsed coming anywhere near Anfield.

And so if they are not members or fan card holders Mr Henry will not let them have a season ticket when they are waiving £800 under his nose! Haha good one, any more jokes?
It gives him an idea of how many supporters rather than 'fans' that we have.
If you had to be a member to be on the waiting list it would whittle it down to a true number overnight.
The club isn't generating the income to build a new stadium. If we were playing CL football it might be different.
so what if a supporter and a fan both offered £800 to Mr Henry to buy a season ticket? do we say no to the 'fan'?
no club is generating enough income to build a new stadium, even Utd. thats why the majority of the build would have to be sponsored.
I think those figures are reliable.
They know the figures, they have contacted a lot of people on the list recently, probably all of them and those of us that want to remain on it have paid a fiver to remain.
agree, and its actually around 10,000 who said no out of 50,000 asked which i thought was slightly high.
Yes a match going supporter and paying member should get a ST before someone that never goes near Anfield, obvious isn't it?
Yep me too,i thought it was high but i think they are reliable, i think a few might drop out if they get to the end and dont have the money, but not many.
I cannot speak for all of them but its been so long since i signed up and i have managed to save a bit up for my first few season tickets if i ever make it.
obviously before, Ive never said that.
my point is you think we don't need more than a 50,000 seater because we couldn't fill it. but what if there are 20,000 'fans' on top say 20,000 members who are willing to pay for the season ticket? you really think John Henry will tell them no? ridiculous. what if a member cant afford the season ticket but the 'fan' can? will John Henry wait till the member can afford it or give it to the 'fan'?? think about what your saying.
we will maximize our fan base to the limit, if we have 40,000 members and 'fans' as you call them waiting to buy a season ticket, believe me FSG will do everything they can to maximize these revenue streams.
your not the only one, I know a few fans like you. don't go every week but would if they had a season ticket.
and from last year there was a finance option to pay for season tickets so you don't need to pay the £780 in one go, great idea and we have to thank SOS for pushing that.
seems I accidently deleted half my post when i edited it,but you got the idea, in todays economic climate even real fans have to budget and make work decisions that leave them unable to make many games, just because they dont pay for a card or pay to be a member this year does not mean they are any less likely to stump up the money for a ticket. I have membership and a fancard on and off as do a lot of people and family memebers that i know.
I assume the owners see the bigger picture, and that building a new stadium (or refurb Anfield), doesn't rely on what European tournaments we'll be participating in for the next two seasons.
And as another poster just pointed out, a stadium build takes 2-3 years at least.
We need more corporate facilities not more seats (sad but true). We can't sell out some home games as it is but we are severely lacking in corporate boxes etc.
Being on the season ticket waiting list means nothing - it's like badge of honour to some people - if they were that bothered they'd be getting to plenty of games as it is.
I'm in the middle, I think we need more corporate seats not facilities. look at club wembly as a blue print. we could sell 5,000 of them easily at say £1500 per ticket, id buy one for sure. Box's are very expensive to build and the return is better on say a 'club wembly' style idea. yes we need more boxes but not dozens like the emirates.
You'd pay £1500 for a corporate seat?
Try Preston North End you might get a corporate seat there for that if you're lucky.
not like a premier seat were you get to go in a lounge, i said like club wembley. better half time facilities slightly better seats etc. i don't expect jazz bands every 50 yards and international cuisine like club wembley but just better facilities. i pay £780 now to sit on some one else's knee and que 30 minutes for a slash in flooded bogs.
like i said,i havent heard any official figure. i'd be very surprised if 40,000 of the first 50,000 still wanted a season ticket. that would mean we'd be guaranteed at least 70,000 every game.not counting the other 25,000 on the waiting list they still had to contact. so why the limited 60,000 capacity for a new ground?
i know lads who went on the waiting list in the 90's,while they were still coming to games.they've been packed up a few years now and i know for a fact they havn't gone on the new list. also many season ticket holders i know dont go anymore. they keep the season ticket on, in their name,but sell it someone else.
who said this? FSG have already said they wont be building a 60,000 seater it doesn't make financial sense. and the extension would be a maximum of 60,000 according to the council FSG would obviously want it bigger.
phone the season ticket line they will tell you how many have paid £5 to stay on the list, I know someone who is 32,000 on that list. but this doesn't mean that everyone who has paid there £5 will take up the offer straight away, there situation money wise might of changed by the time they are offered one.
