As usual, we had more. 8,000 'which sounded like 80,000'. Reporter's words, not mine.

Ska Junkie Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 There's one thing the methane dwellers are missing. Our 9,000+ didn't even make members sale let alone general sale, they ALL went to season card holders. Gawd only knows how many we could have taken. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for a piss take, but think you've crossed a line with that image. Myself and many others will be deeply offended.

Colin from Portsmouth is on the line.... Seriously, no on would be offended by you posting that. If you commented with 'City should do these', then that is a different story, but you didn't. And you wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanjita Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Looking at their forum it would seem most of them think that playing Liverpool is already a done deal, not withholding the fact that they have to play Norwich first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Everyone in football knows that Liverpool extended their capacity to 61k just so their second favourite club, The Gas, could break the away attendance record………I must admit it would be worthy of a cheeky smile if Norwich turned them over now.

I'm amazed, I would have thought their Wembley "record" would have been in doubt. IF, they get there I am sure that it will transpire over time that no Liverpool fans actually attended, or those that did immediately switched allegiance for the day.

But since when has 15% of 61,000 been 15,000 ? Norwich would only be allocated around 9k but you know, Rovers are so loved by these big sides that Liverpool will happily allow them up to 30%. Some of the comments on their forum are hillarious. One exiled fan is looking at booking flights back to the UK, whilst another already has his travel itinerary up and is asking for decent pubs near the ground! I hope Norwich give them a right spanking. I don't recall us getting erections when we had the same fixture in waiting if we had beaten Shrewsbury a few years back. We all like to dream of a big draw, they just wet dream 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An incredible loyal fierce fanbase who follow them everywhere, including amazing long journey to Norwich. Or Norwich was a big tie, so loads of the people there weren’t fans, they were day trippers, and that’s why their following was so ‘big’ ??

Silvio Dante Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 It may just be them being morons (likely) but lots of Tweets indicating that Rovers have released Norwich tickets to general sale before ST holders so that’s 2000 more locked out…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest, Norwich aren’t going to bust a gut to earn the right to get spanked at Anfield, Liverpool away has been a regular League fixture for them over the years. It would be like us drawing Wolves away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where their arrogance around day trippers comes from. You would think they would recognise what could be new, regular fans if they welcomed them. As a club that has lower crowds than City, City Women and the rugby, they can't afford to be picky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Right , again with the maths.... 1 hour ago, Silvio Dante said: It may just be them being morons (likely) but lots of Tweets indicating that Rovers have released Norwich tickets to general sale before ST holders so that’s 2000 more locked out…. They sold out before the Season ticket holders got theirs ? Carrow Rd Capacity 27,000 . 15 % of 27k is 4,050. They took 1,333 according to Bristol Live ( the media wing of their supporters club) 2 Questions .... How is that a sell out Where did the other 2,717 fans go Is that the ones in the Car park ? OK that's 3 questions but you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by how they don't like anyone new joining Asschat , let alone offer a different opinion , they probably don't like people they don't recognise. They are a local Club for local people 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 15000 gasheads going to Anfield - Liverpool supporters don't stand a chance at getting a ticket for this game the way they're going on!!!
