MaVilla Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I thought this was pretty shocking, but also not surprising, unfortunately. Football is really on a downward spiral, yes it might be going on a current upwards trajectory financially, but at the expense of the actual fans, but the short-termism in terms of money grabbing, protection of big clubs etc, i think even though the money is increasing, i think it spells a long term decline if this continues, as the long term fan base will decrease due to the terrible decisions being made. (it might not....but it should if it continues like this). Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has questioned why almost half the tickets for the Champions League final against Real Madrid are not allocated to the clubs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/61354435 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Same as every major international final going, been this way for a long time, even the FA Cup isn't that much better Klopp will still take the sponsorship money come the end of it though won't he 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 So as a fan of about 30yrs, a season ticket holder for about 15, if Villa ever got to a European final I’d struggle to get a ticket. And even if I could I’d probably not be able to afford it. Well done football. rocket polishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 For a match abroad 20k is still a decent allocation for both teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It’s been like this for years, especially since everything was revamped for TV and corporate. FA Cup Final is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It has been like this for years, it is the same in every competition...but is that any reason not to call it out? Prominent managers and players shaming the greedy FAs is a good thing, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 God, there's so much nonsense in this thread due to hatred of Liverpool/their fans It's appalling the way these finals are treated, and completely correct that it's called out.

UEFA give too many tickets to their sponsors, those sponsors give too much money to UEFA, would Liverpool (or any other team) give their prize money from those sponsors back in exchange for more tickets? Would they **** Klopp will have a moan about it though because klopp has a moan about everything whilst getting himself some easy "one of us" points from their fans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go off on that tangent is bizarre - of course a football club isn’t going to say “nah you’re alright UEFA, keep that money”. If anything that would just make the situation worse!
