The ‘empty seats’ myth peddled by Liverpool supporters

Randomly found, with a single google:

‘Lowest Home Attendance 17,427 v Wigan’

And a couple of others that season less than 33000
http://lfcstats.co.uk/20092010attendances1.html

When you quote ‘facts’ (not beliefs) its best to have checked them.

Edit (due to fact checking...):
Currently can’t find that match report, but Wikipedia entry for Liverpool 2009/2010 season says 31000 at home for Reading in FA Cup https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–10_Liverpool_F.C._season - so still bollox 25 years la

Also Crewe 28000 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008–09_Liverpool_F.C._season

And finally the 18, yes 18, home premier league Liverpool matches that have had less than 33k

So, in essence, the Dipper's talking shite.
How surprising.

Liverpool haven't had less than 33,000 at Anfield for over 25 years. City had 33,000 for their carabao cub semi final in the year they are supposed to be chasing the quadruple. To put it into perspective Liverpool's lowest attendance over the last 2 years is 47000.

Why you lying for?

Do you remember?

Liverpool fans never gave a shit about City or City fans. All they were bothered about were United and Everton.

In-fact, Liverpool fans used to like City as both sets of fans hated United.

Liverpool playing City was 4 points and then 6 points guaranteed every season for Liverpool. City were regular canon fodder for Liverpool.

Roll on post Sheikh Mansour. Investment, trophies, etc.

The reason why Liverpool fans now hate City is because City have stopped Liverpool, and are stopping Liverpool from winning trophies.

In the last 10 season’s since Sheikh Mansour bought City, City have won 10 trophies, Liverpool have won 1 trophy.

In that 10 years City and United have won 24 trophies combined. Liverpool and Everton have won 1 trophy combined.

Liverpool fans go on about the money City have spent. United and Arsenal have been going on about that for 10 years.

Liverpool have ‘net spent well over £300mill’ in the last few seasons. The ‘net spend’ was only achievable because your best players want to leave and play for Barcelona and City. Without those transfers Liverpool’s transfer spend would have been hindered by FFP, which Liverpool voted for.

Liverpool’s wage bill has leapt by 26%, the highest rise of any PL club. In comparison City’s wage bill went up by a modest 7%.

For the 2nd consecutive season Liverpool have paid the most agents fees out of all the PL clubs.

FSG’s, Jurgen’s, and Liverpool’s desperation to try and catch City, and to stop City from winning another title, has turned Liverpool into the early Sheikh Mansour, City. Spending £100’s of millions on players, player wages, and agent fees.

Liverpool are now everything Liverpool fans accuse City of being.

But it will all be worth it come the end of the season if Liverpool win the title. There won’t be a single Liverpool fan, ex-Liverpool player, or Liverpool pro-pundit reflecting on how Liverpool won the title, and what Liverpool have become.

Liverpool are now just another football club owned by foreign billionaires, spending 100’s millions on players, on players wages, and on agents fees. Liverpool are no different to City or any other modern day football club. Just remember that. And that goes for any other Liverpool fan lurking.

Fantastic post

So you use a Carabao cup match as the benchmark for City attendances then in the next sentence claim Liverpool haven’t had a attendance lower than 47,000 in the last two years...

If that’s the case then how do you explain the below attendance against Chelsea in the cup this season? (the only domestic cup match your fans had to pay for this year I hasten to add)

There may be no smoke without fire but the only thing I can smell burning is your bullshit...

And Chelsea filled the Anfield Rd lower.

You are Lobby Lud and I claim my five pounds! Absolutely brilliant post which nails The Anfield Road Formation Brick Throwers to the floor.. my cap is doffed in your general direction..
 
I couldn't give a shit about empty seats either at our ground or at any other club.

I'm fairly certain all supporters would love to attend every game,but for a variety of reason,including finance.......they find this impossible.So if you are the sort of person that will use none attendance as an excuse to insult working class fans,then shame on you for being an incredibly sad cvnt.

As an American who's going on his dozenth City match traveled to from 5,500 miles away, who fell in love with club when Keegan was manager and City was average at best, who spends a absolute pissload of money and time just have the sheer joy of 90 minutes at the Etihad once in awhile, who loves the fans and has gotten to know some who have been following the club for generations and met their families, who has learned (and thinks he even understands) nearly all of the songs, who has been out on piss-ups with Mancs who have treated me like one of their own, who wakes up at 4:30 am just to catch matches live, let me just say something:

Let's cut to the chase, shall we? You're afraid your side can't beat City, so you glom onto whatever perceived weakness you think you can find to soothe yourself in case the unthinkable happens and you end up with 97 points and no trophies once AGAIN.

You're scared of that feeling of darkness and gloom when your side chokes away the best season it will ever have in the league to suck up City's sloppy seconds.

You're petrified of going to whatever job you have on a Monday after Match 38 and having to face the legion of fans of other clubs who laugh and ridicule your continuing run of abject failure, despite the fact that you've put your heart and soul and every emotion into your hopes.

I know it, and so do you. That's why you've attacked this topic with your 8th (eyeroll) post like some glory-starved hyena.

As a selfish prick, personally, whatever you think, it annoys me that its harder to get tickets than it used to be, and that our matches get moved more often so it's harder to plan an affordable trip across the pond. City matches have THE highest TV audiences in the USA this season. It isn't going to get easier as long as City keep succeeding.

So keep it up, Tinkerbelle. City fans have heard it all. The Sheikh will get tired, bunch of mercenaries, FFP will kill you, the oil will run out, Aguero to Real Madrid, Pep's going to Utd, blah blah blah blah fuckety blah. None of it has been right, and a few years from now you'll be wrong. Again.

It really is the only answer to this quandary, fending off questions like "why have you got empty seats sometimes?" from a supporters of a club who haven't won the PL in 3 decades should be beneath us.

52,465 at Candlefield last night, compared to 60,004 at Spurs!!!

Less than their average attendance. Obviously those ‘Glorious European Nights’ aren’t as attractive as they seem to try and peddle.
Cnuts!
