I've written to the club today so in 9 years time I should have my ticket.

Marklfc, wonder if you'll have grown up by then?

He will still be a steward.

The trick is to dial 141 before you dial the ticket line. That way, the phone exchange is "fooled" into thinking that you are not from Liverpool and you get through quicker.

Just a lil tip Jay Jay........

if thats true then it is a disgrace, told you the ooters are taking over, and you call me dapioneer, its only a matter of time. cant understand why somebody can live in devon or cornwall and support liverpool or the mancs

What about it? I was just saying if you do that, you might get a ticket.

I want you to read something Mark. It's from RAWK, by Paul Tomkins, an OOTer by confession, but a celebrity internet writer. Not a wind up, just want to see if you can post an intelligent answer.

Why do we have to justify ourselves to fellow Reds? Is there some eternally-damning judgment awaiting us on our passing (from this mortal coil, I mean –– not on our ability to chip the ball to a teammate), like St Peter at the Pearly Gates, where we won't be allowed admission into Football Heaven unless we've conformed to the role of 'fan' as dictated by some self-deified Burberry-clad hoolie who will instead opt to send us to hell. (Or in other words, to Goodison Park every week).

If any of this makes me less of a fan –– or not even a real fan –– in your eyes, then so be it. I really couldn't give a toss anymore about such pathetic distinctions. At the end of the day (and no football discussion is complete without that phrase) I support Liverpool for me –– not for anyone else. Just as everyone should support the club in their own unique way.

Now answer that please Mark. Why do OOTers have to answer to anyone?

I repeat, not a wind up. Answer the questions Paul Tomkins asks.

Paul Tomkins probably has more knowledge of the club than most scouse fans, his pieces are exceptional usually.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 12:58 am**

Yeah, and an OOTer.

Here's the full article. Tell him to support his local team.

Have you got his book Jonny, if so, is it worth a read?

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 1:03 am**

It won't be published until the summer. It should be an excellent read. E-mail him to tell him you are interested. At the bottom of the article.

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 1:05 am**

yep I enjoy reading his articles, thinking of geting the book

Unbelievably moving article , I swear to God I'm moved to tears here Johnny.

A powerful personal account of one man's journey set against the context of supporting LFC .....

Words fail me. A privalege to read that Article ...

Walk on ......

I posted on RAWK as a comment top the article that I was speechless.

He's some writer isn't he?

Posted: **Sat Mar 05, 2005 1:16 am**

Superb Writer. Not a hint of self pity in the piece and written with breathtaking honesty. Wouldn't mind a few more like him in here, do you think we could persuafde him to transfer from RAWK ?
