We had all of the blocks that night that we’ve currently got on sale at the moment, so would have had around 4,000 there in 2017. Edit: and those *cough* ‘scousers’ do like a half-and-half scarf at Anfield Thanks, enjoyed watching that away end again. Does make it tempting to go back up for this one, be part of what looks set to be a massive following. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good were Burnley last season and look at them now. Yeah, can’t wait! I am loving the championship, and could easily take another season like this. Keep the team together and storm the league. I know it does not work like this, but like you say it will be back to losing most weeks and avoiding MOTD on a Saturday night! It is a dilemma, but we will not be like this every season if we stayed in the championship and we would end up just like all the other ex premier league clubs. So I suppose we better get back up there. I’m going as I want to take my boy and nephew to Anfield, so have my tickets. I’m not looking forward to it that much, but they will love it. The best for me at Anfield was 2-3 win in the league when David Hurst played for us, what was the 97/98? Seen us get completely thumped a couple times at think it was 6 or 7-1 😦 Edited February 9 by Dr Who? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If, and this is a very, VERY HUGE 'if', we beat Liverpool, would it go down as the biggest result in our history? Perhaps bar the Cup final against United in '76? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cup Final win was a middle of the table 2nd Division (Ie now Championship team) versus a very decent Man Utd (Division ! team) There were decent odds available for Man Utd to win 6-0. Other 'big' Cup results were in the 1960's ie Third Division Saints winning 5-1 at 1st Division Man City and my favourite, mid table 2nd Division Saints beating 1st Division 5-0 in a second replay at White Hart Lane in front of an estimated 30,000 Saints fans after a 1-1 draw at the City Ground and coming back from 3-0 down with 12 minutes left to play in the replay at The Dell to draw 3-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only around 300 tickets left last night, once they're gone that's the entire Anfield Road Lower. I think that was all we were ever getting, when they went on sale the club said it was an initial allocation of up to 5,500. By FA Cup rules we're entitled to more but that would mean Liverpool would have to give us a chunk of their new upper tier, I would imagine SFC, like some of our fans, thought we would probably not sell them all. And they had only a short space of time to commit to taking what we have, so no way would (or should) the club gamble on committing to thousands more now. Financially better for SFC to ensure all tickets are sold all round the ground as we just get a percentage of gate receipts anyway. This will be a new Anfield record attendance ever in an FA Cup match (possibly even all competitions).

Good point, their new upper tier is fully open now, plus no need for segregation in the lower tier should ensure every seat is used, is it roughly 40% for each team after costs, with FA getting 20% that's what it used to be years ago.

LGTL Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Looks like the ticket site is up to its old tricks again. Just went and brought 2 Birmingham tickets, and it’s happily allowing me in to buy more on the same numbers. I’ve no need to do it and wouldn’t anyway, but a lot of regular away travellers might miss out on this game who are a bit lower down the priority list as a result.

edprice1984 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 From my point of view I always struggled to get tickets to away games due to not having a season ticket and also ones I could get to (generally further North) clash with Gloucester Rugby matches. I will be totally honest and fully expected it to be much easier this season, but due to our incredible run of form I have only managed Coventry away so far. Bought a ticket for myself and for my Dad. Only been to Anfield once before, to watch Liverpool v Sunderland with a friend in 2009. Looking forward to it as an experience I don’t generally get to have, regardless of the somewhat diluted atmosphere. Obviously the league should be our priority but sometimes it’s good to dream! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that team would still be here if we don’t go up is open to debate.

Yep, I totally get where you are coming from. I absolutely despised this league when we were being murdered by Wednesday and Hull back under Wotte and co. That was not fun. It's only fun this year because as you've said, we've been able to retain/build a team to make it fun. It doesn't take much to turn into a Swansea or a Stoke and I bet if we ask them how they feel about the Championship, they'll say it's a cesspit. Being in this league and just winning every week is great, for sure, but you cannot sustain that if you don't take a promotion opportunity within the first 1 or 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks though, and that's all football is about let's be honest. Not about fans or having games to watch, it's about the product and how much the big wigs can make out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
