Fans Not Staying To Applaud The Team

[Tim of the Oak]

On the plus side very few empty seats, the family stand end of august (regardless of 3pm ko) would normally be littered with them so something has changed. Are the club clamping down on no shows or making it easier to sell on tickets? Haaland effect ? Always stay and clap them off.

I was in the ticket office queue to pick up some away tickets and there were plenty of people buying match tickets and memberships. Demand has increased.

There were thousands of Blues in the East Stand applauding the lads after the final whistle. There’s no point me leaving early as our packed coach can’t go without us.

It’s noticeable the absence on this thread of people who do loads of moaning about away tickets. I’m guessing not many of them go to home games, unless we’re playing the Dippers or Rags.

It's no longer (officially) the family stand. Anyone can buy tickets, including individual adults.

Most of the ground was pretty full at the end of the match bar 111, 110, 109, strangely. The family stand/north stand looked pretty full at the end. Yes, there was an exodus towards the end of the match, but it wasn't as bad as normal. The real test will come on Wednesday night. But as the schools aren't back yet, it shouldn't be too bad.

I came on public transport yesterday. 'Kinell. Left at 11.10 got back 18:40. Ninety minutes for the game including the fuckin' time their goalie pissed up the south stand and family stand, and as the Good Sheik's private jet flies it's only eleven miles. I'm back in the car on Wednesday. I can fully understand people not wanting to get involved with public transport or try and get off the car park at full time.

I couldn't go, I can't on Wednesday either (work interfering).

I normally clap them off, but I'm not sure doing a "lap of honour" (not my description) after beating a team we should be beating is that good an idea, yes, applaud the fans from the centre circle, but no need to milk it in a game like this.

For me, there is No need for it in any game bar a title celebration etc. klopp has started this little craze with his disciples loving every minute of it. To be honest it’s not my cup of tea and whilst I stay til the end and clap the team as I am leaving the stand, I’m not hanging around for this sort of thing.

Its a strange one for me
we always stay apart from a late midweek kick off when my lads in school. next day

All i know
if yesterdwy was v the rags or scousers
after being 2 nowt down
it would have been almost full at the end to applaud them off.

Do all the players come and applaud the fans at away games? Do they fuck. Most of the time at home games they wave to their boxes and fuck off down the tunnel. Pep fucks off straight down the tunnel. They applaud the fans one game and all of a sudden they're heroes and we're cunts? I don't think so.
