Liverpools regular match going support goes all the way down to Crewe and covers north Wales as well. I know this is true because my old companies head office was in Crewe and all of them supported Liverpool and i have family in Wrexham and the vast majority of people i have met visiting them are Liverpool fans, this is a huge area, we are simply a million miles from even being close to support of clubs of this size. Forget that though we can get crowds as big as them because Eastleigh and Romsey aren't far away, Cortese is investing, our fans wont be boycotting this time and they said man would never climb everest.

Dont you think it's a bit strange though, this could have been our last ever game, yet only just over half of our 45,000 regulars turned up. I'm surprised you are dobuting Mark Frys comments as well, seeing as how you take as gospel Corteses word, what makes you doubt Mark Frys credentials to speak in facts and truth?

it isn't when you have 45,000 fans who are desperate to go and were being turned away in their thousands only 4 years before. Strange that these fans would rather see the club die than go to that game to watch that team play that game. And we were told every penny mattered, Mark Fry told fans to pack the stadium out.

I'd have thought a club with 45,000 would be regular fans would have been able to attract a crowd of 13,000 less for a vital game, when the fans were told in no uncertain terms to pack the stadium and that every penny mattered, wouldn't you? I presume there were a lot of birthday parties, holidays, christenings etc that day.

Dont you think it's a little strange though? A club with 45,000 fans who would be regulars given a certain set of circumstances, desperate for cash and being begged to attend have almost half of it's regular fans effectively sticking two fingers up at it. They'd rather see it die than spend £25 trying to keep it alive so they can bring back the glory days when they can pack the stadium to it's rafters again, only there'd be 13,000 more of them this time.

There really isn't. Not at the moment anyway.

But Lowe had gone by the time of the Burnley game. Are you saying that despite the administratiors begging fans to fill the stadium and telling us we needed every penny possible our other 21,000 would be regulars were all on strike? On strike against a regime which no longer existed and ignoring the club in it's hour of need. We know they were about because yourself and MLG have told us they are on the clubs database. How can this be, when a club which fans claim get get crowds of 45,000 upwards have only slightly more than half that turn out when they are needed most.

and no waiting list, thousands not being turned away every week and crapper matches not selling out show there isn't. Now please give it up.

Shut up you idiot.

You are forgetting Chelsea only used to get 10,000 in the 80's and get 40k+ now.

I think we are signing him because Tottenham signed Gary Lineker and Paul Gasgoine in the 80's and they said it was impossible to climb Mount Everest but someone did.

it is if they are forcing them to watch Coldplay tonight. And Jo Wiley is still a really sexy woman.

There wont be any, we will get 45k every week because MLG says so despite having nothing to back this up.

Well that is the right thing to do then isn't it. They are already selling out every week, 36,000 with a 13,000 waiting list = 49,000. Saints 23,000 season tickets 0 waiting list, selling just under capacity every week = oh..........

Tottenham have a waiting list of 13,000 for season tickets. Saints in 01-05 had a waiting list of 0.

why? Do you think he'd get in the team ahead of Scott Parker?

23k season tickets does not equal 40,000+ fans and a need to expand the stadium though does it.

/\ you can sell more than 23,000 season tickets though, we didnt.

No, i'm fully aware what a glory fan is, there were 24,000 of them at Wembley last year. I'd just have thought with such a huge fan base that we have this lot would also come out of the woodwork to help save the club. Cleary their £25 was better spent going for a cream tea in the new forest that day. Now what evidence do you have that we were turning 8,000 fans away every week last time we were in the premier league, just like we would be if we dont expand SMS in the future.

and those we did sell out we weren't turning 8-10k away.

But arguably this was our most important game ever. The club were begging for money and to sell out. Those 8,000 extra sold seats would have brought another £200k into the club, I'd have thought this clubs massive fan base and catchment area coupled with the club pleading with people to turn out would have encouraged everyone to come out for this one, 32k would be easy to sell out for a game such as this when we have this many sitting at home on saturdays at the moment. in addition to the fans that do go.

Please explain where these missing 16,000 fans were in April 2009, with the club about to go to the wall and needing every penny it could, only 24,000 inc away fans bothered to turn up.

But he can achieve that with us, we are going to be there with then next 4 years. Surely we are more attractive than Rangers FFS.

Dont forget there are no premier league clubs below the M4. We can draw support from all these areas as well, we are massive. Proof of this in my office in Reading there are 5 Saints fans in a company of about 100 people. SFC = the club 5% of the world supports.

You're right, i dont need to when you have got that talent down to a fine art.
