Sorry guys, I seem to have sidetracked somewhat from the original post, but it is something I have a real problem with regarding the way football is heading.

As regards the image of Liverpool the city, well I can only say that since I was forced to leave Liverpool in the 1980's thanks to a lack of job prospects, I have never lived anywhere that comes close to Liverpool. I have lived in London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Amsterdam and now live in Chester, and I can honestly say that none of them come close to Liverpool. Maybe not in terms of how the places look, but certainly when it comes to a warm welcome to strangers, a "me casa, su casa" outlook, and an ever willing smile, laugh, joke and a bevvy, there is nowhere better than Liverpool. But then again, you really have to go there to appreciate any of that.

something that we always used to be able to afford

Thats a fair and true comment, but the economics position of the UK has completely changed since the 60/70's. Before if you were born working class, you would leave school a 14 for the mines, now the chances are youll go onto higher education, and if your not academic you will do an aprenticeship as a plumber etc. so the old model to working class/middle class/upper class does not still stand. for example jobs in city, before it was a old boys club, now to get a decent job, it doesnt matter where your from, what colour you are, who you know, its about what you can do. obviuosly the system isnt prefect, and some get left behind, but it something we have to live with. i would still stay the game is in far better position now then it was in the 60/70's, with the firms, racism etc. Would you have taken your kid, gf, or wife to football with all the violence, what would have happened to an asian/ black person in the terraces? its more of a family game now

Liverpool is improving with re-development, but it is still the poorestof the core cities in the UK. 4 out of the bottom 10 worst wards in the country are in Liverpool, and it shows.
