It is difficult to foresee events that may change this problem in a hurry. This time last year United lost two major assets in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, yet again last season proved to be one of United's most popular with the fans with their average attendance well in excess of 70,000 fans through the season. When this is considered in context with the anti Glazer (liverpool fc's owners) "Green and Gold until we are sold" campaign where many fans allegedly refused to watch their team and gave up the rights to their season tickets and there quickly appears to be no end to the ticketing issues.

A main reason for the problem is their success, obviously a nice reason to create a problem, but with every passing season bringing more trophies to Old Trafford, so their fan base increases, not just around Old Trafford but worldwide as witnessed by their pre season tours of Asia.

Old Trafford has a capacity of 76,212 which is the largest club ground in Britain (only the national stadium, Wembley has a larger capacity). This large stadium is as a result of much reconstruction work. In the early 1990's the Old Trafford capacity was at a low of 44,000 following the removal of all terracing, including the Stretford End. In readiness for Euro 1996, with The Manchester ground lined up to host five matches, the North End was demolished and replaced with an three tier stand that took the attendance up to 55,000. This exact style of stand was built on the East Stand and opened in January 2000 and on the West Stand shortly after which took the ground to it's current standing. There are no current plans to develop the ground further so it looks unlikely that a new breed of fans will have access to tickets. It is believed that the cost of constructions work at the ground as well as the clubs large leveraged debts means that no plans are in place for the foreseeable future.

In European Football, of which the Champions League is perhaps the most popular representation, teams from across Europe get to showcase their skills against teams from other European Leagues. Liverpool FC has also made more than a mark in all forms of European Competition. From the UEFA Cup to the European Cup, the Champions League, and several others, Liverpool FC has proven to be a dominant squad.

Although they are off to a rough start for the 2010-2011 season with injuries mounting, a new coach, and rampant dissent in the locker room, it doesn't matter to the most loyal of Liverpool fans. Although they are sitting in 11th place in the table right now, the fans know they will continue to rise in the table and get better and better throughout the year. Perhaps another Champions League qualification is in order. Perhaps even another European Cup to call their own. They are still moving forward in the Europa League, so they may be able to add yet another piece of silverware to their collection by the end of this season, no matter the place they end up in the Premier League Table.

When it comes to Glory Days, there isn't a team in England that can match Liverpool's.

When you consider their achievements during the era that started with the legendary Bill Shankly and continued under the stewardship of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and the exalted Kenny Dalglish then you can understand the frustration of supporters desperate to win the league title for the first time since 1990.

Bill Shankly - perhaps, along with Brian Clough, the most quoted football manager of all time - was actually appointed manager in 1959 but had to get the club out of the 'old' Second Division before his title winning days could begin. Arguably, though, a decision he made early on in his managerial career proved to be one of the most important of them all. Should you go on the Anfield Stadium Tour at any time, you'll see the Press Room, which is an important enough part of any modern football club. This Press Room, though, is on the site of the old Boot Room, one of the most iconic aspects of Liverpool's greatest era. It was Shankly who changed the Boot Room from its original purpose into the famous and influential 'think tank' where the Liverpool coaches would sit and talk for hours. The Boot Room, launchpad of the careers of Paisley and Fagan, would have some wonderful stories to recount.
