Ripped from RAWK after hearing it today in the pub:

Just read on .tv that from May 31st... new fan cards will no longer be issued............ pasted as below...... so does anyone have any idea as to what the new cards will involve, how it will work etc???

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/tickets/fancard.htm
From May 31 2008 we will no longer issue new Fan Cards. If you are an existing Fan card holder your card will remain active. You will still be able to apply for tickets and have your attendance recorded.

From 1st July 2008 we will be launching a new membership scheme with a new card design and technology. This scheme will offer you a whole host of new benefits including exclusive access to match tickets.

rang the club on monday and this is what they said

I rang customer services about 10 minutes ago, and its a case of welcome to the Hicks and Gillets new revenue stream..........

this is how it will work , the main details

1) New fancard will cost 29 quid .,,,,,,,,,,,,, per season.... wtf
2) It will give the fan "better" access to match tickets via the secondary ticket exchange
3) PTS will still exist
4) End of next season all fancards will be phased out and everyone will be "invited" to join the new fancard scheme at £29 per season
she didnt say if the new card would be required to gain access to the ground....
as for the ticket exchange, its an illusion, .... how many fans will not have friends to sell their unwanted tickets to .... the number of tickets on this exchange will be minimal..... because we dont have compulsory auto cup scheme , there will not be a surplus of tickets for a ticket exchange unlike at the mancs....

That takes the fu.cking :censored:

. In essence they are getting £29 out of everyone for the chance of getting a ticket.

Its a big kick in the ars.e from G and H and I won't be paying £29 A SEASON for the chance to get a ticket. Its practically the same system in place, with the same chance of getting a ticket, just a way to to screw more money out of us.

This is just the start off it all.

there will be a lot more of these little schemes to make money and a lot of fans will not stand for it

It's only the start rafa lad .

by **Sabre** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 9:30 pm

And that's how they plan to fill a much bigger stadium?

They know Rafa mate - that thousands more will pay it - there's the kicker.

by **Rafa D** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 9:43 pm

I certainly won't be. I'll continue to go the games with my mate on his season ticket but I won't be purchasing this fu.ckign joke of a scheme. I know a lot will but many fans with simply think - "why bother".

There is a group of about 10 of us who go the European games on the fancards and all of them are not prepared to pay it. I bet a lot of lads will feel the same.

Bunch of :censored:

. I actually had some sort of contorted hope that these 2 would patch things up.

They can get fuc.kied.

The other kicker is you can bet the Ticket Office won't improve as a result of this £29quid!! It'll still be easier to find Willy Wonka's golden ticket than get decent service outta that place!! :angry:

But you think the groundshare is a good idea
