agree with Roving ..some players earn more in a week than Southport turn over in a year

[yellowsfan]

Totally agree, there are good times ahead for Southport, with the investment being put in.

We finally have real ambition, and this club needs your support and help to get this club back into the football league.

Instead of this town being obsessed with Liverpool and Everton support your hometown team where you were actually born, we have proper investment and a really bright future.

I get fed up going out listening to so called Liverpool fans going on about the history and how well they are doing, I bet they don’t even go to a single game, just watch it on tv, the papers don’t help either, in both local papers Liverpool F.C. are advertised asking a full page of the paper.

Nobody forces you to read it! And for what it's worth, I would happily go to Anfield regularly as I used to years ago but, the bus service from here is crap.

Wow, positivity from this website following more than a decade of relentless negativity towards its local team.

So in a Southport local paper it’s ok to advertise Liverpool FC when we are trying to get people down to Haig Ave to support there local team, that makes sense not.

Instead of supporting Liverpool support your own local team, there is only I team in Southport to support and that’s Southport FC not Liverpool or Everton, that’s what we need to get across to people like you.

What's wrong with supporting both?? And whether you like it or not, advertising by those able to afford it, pays the newspapers production costs. If newspapers had to rely on sales only, they'd go broke very quickly.

Sure let's pretend Liverpool, Everton and even the Manchester football clubs don't exist, then supporters will flock to Haig Avenue, don't think so somehow, football supporters who have moved from other parts of the country still keep allegiance to the clubs they have previously supported.

He’s not saying pretend they don’t exist, typical premier league supporter you mist be.

We have a right in our own town to support our local team, yes you will get some supporters who prefer watching Liverpool, Everton and even the Manchester clubs but our team should come first.

We have proper investment going into the club and want to improve the fan base so advertising other teams in our local paper should be a no go, yes they need revenue but find another way, maybe get Southport fc to have a big article in the papers.

No-one has even remotely suggested that you shouldn't support your local team, by the same token everyone else is free to support or not the team of their choice and trying to use some sort of guilt trip to bring support in, is hardly a tactic likely to succeed.

Why is it a guilt trip to bring people in, there is over 90,000 people living in Southport, the support is there, yes people have a choice who they support but we are Southport not Liverpool, we should be getting higher attendances at games, the investment being put in deserve that.

Im going. I also have had a season ticket at Anfield since I was 17. Despite Liverpool being my first love I will happily support Southport. I remember going to away games watching Southport when I was in college. The stand out game was Blyth Spartans away in the FA cup with the winner into the third round proper. We won at there ground but at the time I had never seen such violence (from the home team) in my life before.

Great days although better without the violence!

I was there that day with my two young sons. The trouble wasn’t caused by Blyth fans, it was brain dead Newcastle supporters who didn’t have a game that day, and came North, intent on wreaking havoc.

Less than 100 tickets left for the Tranmere game.
Biggest crowd for 44 years.
