Liverpool 2 Sunderland 0 and Liverpool fans boycott _ for what I don't know

Final score 2-2

Aston Villa 2 Norwich 0 Villa fans back their team with great support

Final score 2-0 although we rode our luck

Collymore played for both teams

Whose fans is he most proud of?

It wasn't a boycott. They walked out on 77 mins in protest at the £77 tickets next season. I don't blame them.

Liverpool owners have now responded to the 77 minute walkout. Instead of £77, they are making them £95.

fair play to them I say. Its about time fans made a stand against the rip off merchants. Shearer was right on MOTD that no club should increase prices when clubs are benefiting from tv money increases

Me neither. And I don't think it made a jot of difference to the score. Fair play to the Liverpool fans, who showed that a sizeable chunk of their crowd could organise themselves sufficiently to make a point.

The 1996 FA Cup Semi at Old Trafford a lot of Liverpool fans stayed away because there were big price increases. I guess from a Villa point of view if you still had any money left from the LC Final trip the week before you were not going to miss what was our first FA Cup semi since 1960 whatever the ticket price. There certainly was a boycott that day because the crowd was just under 40,000.

This is getting off the subject of the thread which is supposed to be Mr Collymore. So here is a picture of our Stan that day in 1996.
I am certainly not saying he should not be celebrating as he is when the team he plays for has just scored. Maybe what it does say that is that no professional player should ever try to purport to be a fan in the same way that any of us are.

As someone said to me earlier today - if he was really so keen to get rid of the board why doesn't he do as others have done and put up his own money to hire somewhere for a protest meeting?

Sorry, but I don't buy that at all. He ( SC) was - and indeed is - a Villa supporter from his early childhood, so in my book it makes him as much of a fan as anyone else - regardless of whom he plied his trade for professionally. I realise the guy isn't especially liked on here, but I think it's about time folk cut him a bit of slack.

Digbeth Civic Hall was about £100 for the evening in 1968.
