We know the club have to do what they have to do..... does not mean people cant have an opinion or view of how they will be affected by the change, some people say we played good today others say not, some say JC is the king & others say not, does that mean its right or wrong??

What if the club say that your seated area would have to become a standing one - would u happily agree & say nothing because the club is doing best it can giving the curcumstances - i think not

No just foolish or a cheapskate

No, that would be silly. To me the hypocrisy lies in 'supporting' two teams. Can't get my head around it and never will.

Surely all the complaints should be aimed at the Football League, not the club. You accused the club of selling the fans down the river a while back and I think that is greatly insulting. The club are being as accommodating as possible given the circumstances. Anyone can see that.

Stanley fans will appreciate that this has to be, and concede the rather odd feelings without kicking up a fuss. For my Gran and others who were lucky enough to see games at Peel Park, the Crown Ground/FES won't "feel" the same, but they put the Red first and enjoy the fact that we are back in the league where we belong.

Of course there's a right to be peeved, but give credit where it's due to the club. They're keeping us in the league and in the black.

Had to check back through my postings before answering this one. I'm a Liverpool supporter, always will be, but I choose to pay to watch my hometown club instead of being an armchair football fan, does that make me a mutant?

Sorry, it does to me. I love talking football and can watch the odd game on telly, but any live game apart from Stanley bores me senseless. I got invited to last season's United vs Everton game and went (free ticket, thought I'd see Old Trafford). I fell asleep!

Understandable but even Old Trafford used to have an atmosphere until............................................. .......................................they put seats where there used to be terracing, I rest my case.

Well unless you know all the rights and wrongs of football at a level of some higher being, it still stands that it's all about opinion. Age and wisdom have nothing to do with it. I've given my opinion, and it is just as valid, invalid, right or wrong as yours; regardless of my age.

shakermaker · 29-12-2008, 00:35
