From our opening days to yesterday, Roy has lost almost 10,000 supporters.

Liverpool 1 - 1 Arsenal
Game date: 15.08.2010 Stadium: Anfield
Competition: Premier League Attendance: 44,722


Liverpool 2 - 1 Bolton Wanderers
Game date: 01.01.2011 Stadium: Anfield
Competition: Premier League Attendance: 35,400 (Lowest attendance in League since 1984 another anti record for HodgePodge)


Paying him off now, could probably work out the cheapest option in the long run, if the decline isn't reversed or halted.
 
the figure would be slightly distorted what with it being the second game in 3 days and money being as tight as it is etc....yep... that and us being an absolute pile of shite team playing absolute guff footy orchestrated by a bumbling geriatric twat.
 
It just proves the BS about the season ticket waiting list and the requirement for a new stadium, and the myth about our great fans.

I have never seen so many tickets being offered for sale, there was a guy in the pub I drink in willing to take a 5 quid loss, people on this forum was trying to get rid.

The fans are starting to register thier disgust by not turning up, thats certainly the way to get a point across, FSG will deffo notice the loss from Saturdays match

It was more of being pissed off from the Wolves Match I think Krump.

Even you was selling tickets.

People was so disgusted we had just one fucking shot, they registered it by boycotting the next game.
 
I actually said to myself that if roy is in charge next season I wont attend another game until he is removed. an idle threat as there is ZERO chance of roy being in charge next season.
 
How much money do you think was lost from 10,000 less in the crowd?

Even Geds return v Aston Villa didn't break the 40k barrier, the fans are fucking fed up of HodgePodge.

No it wasn't. The tickets sell out a month in advance. It had fuck all to do with Wolves... Just accept that we don't have infinite fans, and of those that do go, 25% can't be arsed the minute we aren't going to win anything.

If the tickets were sold out the interpretion must be that it is a boycott. Reds have lost all nerve under Hodgson and people are there to witness a game of football with some nerve in it. We are dull, and the games dont matter cause we will not be top half and we will not be relegated.
 
The tickets weren't sold out was the point. Getting tickets over xmas has always been the most difficult time because people who have moved away come home to visit parents and stuff - so these games always sell out ages in advance. The fact that this one didn't is no reflection on the Wolves result but on the fact that fans just can't be arsed going. That decision will have been made at the start of December when the tickets went on sale, not yesterday.

2 of the last 3 home games last season, when we couldn't even get 4th place had crowds of 42.5k+

Not true. We could have made fourth with a few games to go... but when the tickets went on sale and sold out we defo could have made 4th... and the last game always sells out anyway - and FFS it was against Chelsea!

I told the staff to put the Everton game on in the pub yesterday - as the away rule applies even though there are less Everton than Liverpool fans. When I got back to the pub there were a load of reds who'd just turned back up to watch the Arsenal game moaning at me that I should have had our game on, and I basically called them all nobheads. The same kind of people who claim that they'd love to go but can't get tickets whining that their Euro-law-loophole provided 3pm kick off was set up in favour of match-going blues. Fuck them.
 
I haven't bought any official LFC merchandise for awhile now, I'm sure they will react when something really hurt their wallets.

I said to a pub full of people after the Wolves game I won't go until Roy's gone, it's no idle threat though.

Well done you, that pisses me off too. I get to the match when I can afford it, but have mates complain it's too expensive who watch every game home & away in the pub spending the entire day there.
 
I suggested a few months ago that we would have difficulty filling a 60K stadium. Nearly got my head eaten off.
 
It's a bit of a distorted view, what was the attendance v Chelsea? It was New Years Day after all.

Attendance v Wolves H 26/12/09

41,956

Attendance v Wolves H 29/12/10

41,614

So nothing to do with the financial problems the world is experiencing?
[/quote]

I think that the boredom factor has got a lot to do with it - I mean a Kop season ticket is about seven hundred quid or something, and against Wolves when there was nothing else to do it didn't take long to figure out that Torres earns about that much if he has a particularly ponderous dump, maybe one where he reads a whole New Scientist article about the effects of global warming on frog distributions in Scandinavia. Or that the five fucking grand I've spent on tickets this season actually equates to one of Steven Gerrard's sleeps.
 
I was at the last game that had such a low attendance, it was a rescheduled, midweek game against Portsmouth around the end of Houllier's reign. It was a grumbly, miserable crowd.

There are definitely some economic factors involved in the analysis of what people should do with their expendable income. It's new years, they can enjoy themselves any number of ways, they've got hangovers to recover from, they probably just spent a considerable amount of money the previous night, and they don't want to drive. And the alternative? Watching an expensive event which isn't likely to be enjoyable at all, at a time of less economic certainty.

It may lay bare some misconceptions people have about the support, however it says something every successful owner of a sports club knows; they need a good 'product' on the field.
 
It there really is a long term plan to get Liverpool to hold sixty thousand plus people and to sell out every week, the yanks should spend the 40 million quid or whatever it would cost to buy Everton and just fucking shut it. Use it as a car park or something. In 10 or so years all the kids round here would support Liverpool.

That's your only chance, and it's relatively cheap.
 
Ha, good shout.

"We want to buy the club and shut it down"

FA 'fit and proper owners' tester:

Sure, go ahead.

It works on many levels. We'd get Cahill, Fellatio and Arteta too.
[/quote]

I'm in!
 
I believe that the slump in crowd also might reflect that less people travel in to watch Roy Hodgsons team. This should be worrying for the whole city as a Liverpool game has people leaving money on accomodation, transportation and food/drinks as well...

We didn't play at home over New Year last season, so it's hard to put up a similar comparison, that's the closest you'd probably get for the same period, and it's marginal.
