You'll never walk alone
Sport plays a big part in my life albeit these days I only manage a bit of running and some golf. Talking about it does seem to take up most of the conversation on the regular early evening sesh at the Prince Blucher on Twickenham Green, though.
This weeks Friday topic centred around the lack of tickets the Scousers got for the European Cup Final. Now rightly or wrongly, season ticket holders are up in arms that fan card holders have got preference if they had 7 or more coupons. That means they went to (or purchased tickets for) at least one away game.
What season ticket holders pay for is the right to watch all home league games and gain priority to buy for other home or away games in the various cups. Fan card holders get second dibs.
So if the season ticket holders do not buy up all the allocation, fan card holders do. Many of these fan card holders can't get season tickets, or live too far away from Anfield to atttend every week, so they see their priority as supporting the team on the road in Europe. Seems a good wheeze to me.
All the season ticket holders have to do is buy an away ticket, like Galatasaray for a fiver!!, get their coupon, and not travel. Maybe next year they will get smarter. ¶ 10:30 AM
