Thought it is worth mentioning how once again, FSG, have once again listened and have allocated priority tickets throughout the season to anyone located within a 'L' post-code.

Football isn't necessarily after all.

Great touch and another reason why we should be proud to have them as owners.

Hopefully other clubs will take note in recognition of whom actually made their clubs what they are today.

Forgive me but I don't understand why that's a good thing. Why is someone with an L postcode more deserving of a ticket than anyone else?

Davey is one of the guys who think people who live in Liverpool/ Scousers should get priority over everyone else when it comes to tickets, fans opinion etc.

Needless to say I disagree and have had a few discussions on this issue here in the past.

Daveybootle obviously have a L postcode, Puzzled Red - so it is a good thing for him i am sure and why not? After all he is one of those few who made the club what it is today :S.

Because the l postcode is one of the poorest in the country. Not everyone is able to buy multiple tickets in cup schemes etc. I struggle getting tickets every year and live less than 8 miles to the ground. Now I appreciate the day trippers giving to the club, but they bring no atmosphere and passion.

The clue is in Davey's name. I'm with puzzled here though. We didn't find Liverpool. Liverpool found us. We all have our reasons for supporting Liverpool. None of which is any better or worse than living in a certain postcode.

I honestly get the importance of communities and giving back but why should one fan be seen as more important than another?

I am pretty sure this is a marmite topic. You either agree or disagree. There is no grey here.

rl73 really do understand where your coming from about day trippers and your sense of ownership it's a good thing that your so proud of your club that u want everyone to show the same passion as the local loyal supporters, the only thing though is where all different mate and next time your there and u experience that throw your arm around him u might find he loves the club as much as u just in a different way. The day I get my chance to come to anfeild will be the first and I'll be bringing a lifetime of passion and hope I can have a beer with u lot at a local bar.

Ex scouser living in oz now. I have no problem at
all with some priority for locals. I struggle to get a ticket everytime I get back (hear at the moment actually) and it's only thanks to local relatives that I get to see a game. I'm sure it's just as hard for non locals, and clearly many here disagree, but remember the name of the club. Locals have scraped the money together over the years to get to a match. Easy when it was cheaper, but as the game and the club have grown it's so expensive now. Remember, it was years of passionate local support that built the club into what it is today (yes and other things I know), and those of us living afar now get the benefits of that historical success through liverpools popularity and wide exposure.

I'm in the same position as burkey, i spend a minimum 6 months in oz with work/ football, I'm lucky enough to have a season ticket so it's never a hassle to go see games. I whole heartedly agree with there being an allocation for those in the "L" area, they help to create a far better atmosphere, before u all lose your nuts, those coming from abroad or other parts of the U. K. are much appreciated supporters of the club, but they r there to watch the match and if they don't go often they become totally absorbed in the game and the atmosphere around them which is utterly brilliant for them to experience.

It's the lads that are local or can get to many games a season that are singing their hearts out with songs and chants as there not wrapped up in the experience of going to Anfield. They have become some what used to it and therefor it becomes just as much a social event and about creating the atmosphere as it is about going to the game and seeing our mighty club on the pitch. We have lost some of that atmosphere in recent years, but we all witnessed how good it can be with some of the Europa league matches last season, being midweek night games a majority of the crowd was local, if we want that every game we have to be able to get those lads in the ground to help create that atmosphere. It can only be a good thing lads.

I am from Liverpool and have always struggled to get tickets to the game. I think the idea of 'daytrippers' is very derogatory and not a true reflection of a lot of the fans, outside of the "L" postcode, who attend. I'd prefer it if we didn't make this divisive idea "local" and "out-of-town" fans - we're all pulling in the same direction right? We all want the best for our club right? Wish local fans would stop making this distinction, it alienates supporters and it ain't right.

In terms of this policy I think it is good simply because many local fans have struggled badly to make it to games, partly due to cost, but mainly due to availability. I'm not saying fans outside of the city don't deserve a chance to see the club - simply that fans who live in, who are born in and part of the city, deserve an opportunity to obtain tickets (which such a scheme allows) . It is a good move but please let us appreciate, enjoy and welcome all the reds who visit from outside the city - they are part of the red family and just as an important part of the family as any fan.
