The Liverpool FC Thread XIV

I pray we avoid Valencia and Dortmund, because - with us focusing on the league - I could do without the hysteria and narrative surrounding a Klopp return to Germany or us meeting Gary Neville.

And also the fact that they'd both beat us

If I didn't suffer from narcolepsy before I sure do now.

So, our game against Exeter in the FA Cup will be on a FRIDAY night at 8pm. How on Earth are our fans meant to make the journey in time for that? All for the sake of TV. I expect a fair few may boycott the game, if I'm honest. I'm inclined to agree with FC United. Friday isn't a night for football. It's a construct by TV companies.

8,500 fans who will go to the game against how many who will watch the game on TV?

Tbh I'm not entirely against the model in Spain where games are spread out from Friday night till Monday night to allow for every game to be screened.

What's your point? That it doesn't matter to the 8,500? That's 8,500 Liverpool fans who will have to miss work. For a game of football.

It could just as easily be screened on a Saturday or Sunday, and a game with two sides closer together geographically on Friday...

No offense liverpool fans needs to realize missing football is not the end of their life.

Maybe you need to realise that after a hard week at work, some people like to go out at the weekend and watch their favourite team in the world.

For some families it's a weekly tradition; take your son to the game as he grows up and he'll do the same when he gets older.
Yeah at the most basic level it's just a game, but for thousands of fans it's so much more.

Be careful what you wish for. The Spanish fans hate the model. Pretty sure there have been many protest about it.

No issue with televised weekday game to be honest but Mackay is right Exeter is too far from Liverpool for fans to make in time on a weekday. There are many closer ties they could've taken and it's not even an exciting match up. I really doubt many liverpool fans will change their plans to catch this on TV.

**** I hadn't even considered the return journey. So most will have to coach it which probably means it's an overnight trip back. Nah not worth it. Liverpool probably have enough fans around south west to fill the 8500 but no locals are going.

Major **** up.

Top 4 is wide open, we really need to take advantage of these slip ups. I'll be incredibly frustrated if we don't get the 3 points tomorrow.
