Delighted from a financial perspective, if true; but must remember to be on a holiday that day or washing my hair ...looks like we play liverpool on the 11th july
Indeed. As an occasion, it is absolutely grim.Delighted from a financial perspective, if true; but must remember to be on a holiday that day or washing my hair ...
True, but I still don't enjoy it. The integrity of the club matters, as well as the money.its all about the money talking to mp and np a few years back it paid for cooks and Norwoods wages for a whole season
If that's so, the Reds are partly responsible for us getting out of the NL.its all about the money talking to mp and np a few years back it paid for cooks and Norwoods wages for a whole season
I'm not sure what this has to do with the integrity of the club, just playing a pre-season friendly against a local EPL team. I'm delighted that the European champions are coming to Prenton Park. They could have easily cried off. We both have something to celebrate, so let's see some flags and banners.True, but I still don't enjoy it. The integrity of the club matters, as well as the money.
Prenton Park is the home of Tranmere Rovers, not Liverpool, and I don't enjoy seeing the ground being taken over by Liverpool 'supporters' ('followers' is probably a better term, as I doubt most of them have ever visited Anfield) who comprise 90% of the crowd. Any Liverpool supporter would feel the same way if a visiting team outnumbered their support at Anfield. In addition, our visitors have behaved poorly at previous matches, invading the pitch (newly laid), setting off flares and generally showing the club a lack of respect.If that's so, the Reds are partly responsible for us getting out of the NL.

Perhaps I should not mention the EPP rules which Liverpool and the other 'elite' clubs foisted on the lower divisions, which effectively forced the closure of our academy and cost us millions in potential future player sales. Or their television deals which greatly increase the financial gulf between the Premier League, Championship and lower divisions and increasingly make it difficult for clubs like us to survive even at our 'natural' levels. Or their marketing campaigns directed at the Wirral which deprive us of thousands of potential young supporters, despite the best efforts of the club through programmes like 'SWA2'.If that's so, the Reds are partly responsible for us getting out of the NL.
If we had played Liverpool in the Cup they would have been allocated 2,000 tickets in the Cowshed like any other away team, as was the case for the Quarter Final in 2001. They would not have been invited to treat Prenton Park as 'Anfield B' for the night, so it would have been a completely different atmosphere to the friendly game.RLC, your response is not unexpected. Your dislike of Liverpool FC and the Premier League is well-known. However, both exist and we have to co-exist with them. What would you have done/said if instead of drawing Spurs at home in the cup last season, Liverpool had come out of the hat?
