bobshaw235 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well done UTD,as the only team to beat you home and away this season i would love to have gloated a little but 8-1 today sort of takes the gloss of my little bit of self back patting. Frank will now have Sven shot.never mind sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I am so glad that Gary predicted a Chelsea double. After his 'Liverpool could win everything' quote from earlier in the season I had no fears about losing, Looks like Poo win the flops dartboard for another year. No doubles No trebles Just a load of bull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Did I miss something today - too busy watching paint dry! Liverpool's keeper had the record for the most clean sheets and Torres on target again. We just need to get the monkey off the back with United and will soon again be the dominant force!

Gary Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 certainly am - football in the premier league has become boring and predictable - same top four year on year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojan Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I suppose the boring part is down to the fact that more often than not its United that win the Premiership with a toss up for second place between Arsenal and Chelsea. However, as in the FA Cup a new face doesn't neccessarily mean renewed interest. The media involvement in this years final is zilch, likewise the interest from the neutral football fan.

KeithR Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 76 points between United and Derby 58 goal difference 47 goals scored at home 21 clean sheets 10 Premierships in 16 years 75,600 Average attendance Congratulations to the Champions Congratulations to FC United for promotion 3 years on the trot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 The average attendance was 99.2% capacity Poo's was only 96% so why build a bigger ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 and the missing 4 per cent - the away fans who didn't take their allocation. There are thousands upon thousands on the waiting list for season tickets - so hence the need for a bigger ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 This is a quote from a Liverpool FC website, Liverpool Football Club currently restricts its season ticket holders to around 29,000. The season ticket waiting list is claimed to be 10-14,000. It is suspected that the real waiting list figure is closer to half that due to multiple applications, "officially unsanctioned" ticket inheritance arrangements, long-term drop-outs etc. Indeed, Rick Parry himself has recently hinted at it being nearer half the originally perpetrated figure. Discounting away supporters the rest of the regular 44,000 attendance is composed of around 12,000 specific match day ticket applications. [incidentally, it should be stated here that the reason for the club restricting the number of season ticket holders and maximising the match-day applications is to balance the make-up of the clientele attending Anfield thereby satisfying the lucrative day-tripper following which in turn helps to sustain club shop turnover.] Back to the argument, the crucial point as far as the optimum capacity issue is concerned, is that the 12,000 match day applications effectively account for the whole of the season ticket waiting list demand. YES, you heard right. In other words for a run-of-the-mill league fixture there is NO FURTHER DEMAND OF ANY REAL SIGNIFICANCE to be tapped into. Thus, the forty odd thousand that is currently Liverpool's average attendance happens also to be - moreorless - Liverpool's maximum regular attendance OTHER THAN FOR the most attractive fixtures. This submission is borne out both HISTORICALLY and by reference to THIS SEASON'S ATTENDANCES at the aforesaid run-of-the-mill league games and also cup games where the possession of a season ticket is not required. The highest average attendance in our club's entire history is around 48,000. That came at a time when our club was eminently successful and capacity was nudging 56,750. It is believed that if a bigger ground is built the number of season ticket holders will actually drop because of the increased 'on the day' capacity.
