To be fair, I actually do not think it is intended or should be overly perceived as some form of racial attack against some who visit their ground.

Is it naive or short-sighted in how they've gone about their message? Yes. Could or should their argument have been shown differently? Certainly.

It's tactless and yes unfortunately I think some instantly will jump along the racial bandwagon (again unfortunately that's just society today!).

However, I think the point is that they feel aggrieved that 'tourist' fans are often given priority with regards to tickets, while also inflating prices.

Many of their fans feel that they cannot afford to go to the match any more, which is diluting their support. Is their truth in that? I don't know.

What they fail to address though is that it is the club who are to blame, and not their 'compatriots' in Red; for it is they who set the prices etc.

Arguably it is the same at the likes of Manure, Chelsea and Arsenal etc. While some in their ranks will be upset, most accept it helps fun the club.

They need to realise they can't have it both ways! Yet then they always needs something to moan and march over I guess...

Hate these people jumping on the bandwagon with no evidence to support the claim. Except that one time when their team wore T-shirts supporting an actual racist. Or that other time when the whole Kop starting singing the Suarez song and made a young black lad from a lower league cry.

A Belfast Proddie......he passed muster for the LOL in the Liverpool boardroom ;)

And ironically was shunned by many in his own community when he went back to Belfast to manage Belfast Celtic after he departed the cult :blush:
 

This talk of Johnny Foreigner taking tickets out of the hands of poor local bairns.. reminds be of a Manc friend who told me he believed the ballot for tickets at the Theatre of Nightmares including Depressing LVG's Tactical Lesson is biased in favour of overseas members. That's because they spend fortunes in the club shop whereas the locals/natives etc don't.
 

See all the Norwgian players are sticking the knife into Rodgers, didn't see that coming.

Is it to predictable to say that Gerrard will have a go in the next few weeks.

Or a Klopp quote saying how he would have kept Gerrard.

As predictable as a mid table finish.
