Its the age old debate but surely there were enough "scousers" in the ground yesterday to sing rather than the odd thousand day trippers that didn't?
I'm not a Scouser SM but I've been lucky enough to be a regular for years. I don't think it matters where you come from as there were 4 or 5 Scouse lads in front of me who turned up 5 minutes late and left on around 80 minutes. Apart from giggle and text on their phones throughout, they didn't seem to contribute to the "atmosphere" at all.
Don't know what the answer is but maybe the club could start by making the Kop based on previous loyalty or something? Also think they should try general admission to certain blocks within the Kop so at least groups of mates can sit / stand together.
I still feel privileged to have any sort of ticket for a game and would never take it for granted but surely you should earn the stripes to be on the Kop.
