The season ticket waiting lists that Man Utd and Liverpool claim are widely exaggerated. United in particular never seem to remove people from the list...................... A friend of mine put his name down for a season ticket about 12 years ago and 2 years later got confirmation that he could have a season ticket. In those 2 years he had got married and was expecting a kid so the season ticket was no longer high on his list of priorities so he explained this and turned the ticket down. Three times since he has been informed that a ticket is available and on both occasions he has told them he is no longer interested.
It appears that instead of deleting the names of those no longer interested they merely put the names back to the back of the list. I have heard other such stories from other United fans and I believe something similar happens at Anfield.

I received an email from the LFC official website yesterday, encouraging me to buy tickets for the Europa Cup match against Lille and the LEAGUE match against Portsmouth on Monday.
Tickets for Premier League games used to be sold out weeks before the match, and the club never had to make any effort to sell them ....... in fact many of us found that they seemed to make it as difficult as possible for us to buy them!!
I think it must be a sign of the times.

Indeed Portly. There's no way that the economical crisis is not going to take its toll on football. People are not as rich as they used to be and certainly many don't feel economically secured anymore, yet the new contracts players are signing keep climbing as if nothing has changed.
Wigan's ground was far from full on Monday, and so have many other stadiums this season. Things will change in football.

Jimmy - I think the Premier League and the clubs handled the enormous increase in TV money very, very badly. All the riches went straight into the players' bank accounts. Too little was kept back to put the clubs on a sound financial basis and to build better stadiums and facilities for spectators.
Now things are getting financially tight, the players are going to have to accept lower wages. I'm sure those on £100,000 per week could just about manage on £50,000 per week instead.

I gave my season ticket up in 1997 after an incredibly dreary 0-0 home draw with West Ham. It was a midweek game and as my brother and I walked back to our car in the pissing rain and fought our way back through the traffic to manchester we decided that the season ticket was piss-poor value.
My Brother had to miss about 5 or 6 home games a season anyway visiting the in-laws in London so it was an easy enough decision for him. For me, I think that the "correct price" for a Liverpool home game should be about £25 and at current prices one just feels a bit ripped-off.
I don't go to many league games now (about 2 home and 2 away games per season) and I usually go to most European matches. What I do enjoy is lower league football (which in some cases is also relatively overpriced) and at least when I go and see Rochdale, Bury, Stockport etc I don't have to watch multi-millionaire prima donnas throwing tantrums and throwing themselves around the pitch, kissing the badge and then driving off in their Ferrari's without even breaking sweat.

That'd only work if it was a directive from Fifa and applied across the board. The league (and consequently the clubs) will suffer if it can't attract the best players.

If I had a season ticket, I would sell it no doubt.
I'm on the waiting list. Seems I may not be waiting as long as I thought 😉
Anyone want mine? I'll pay you to take it off my hands.
Oh alright then. I'll throw in my Scalextric an all.

If those figures turn into reality, then Bolton may be about to lose 12 fans.
