Friendly: LIVERPOOL-LAZIO, Friday, 8-8-08

I really want to go to this match but the way Liverpool and Lazio have organised it means that it is impossible to get tickets unless you buy them in Rome itself, which means that us British fans and British based Italians can not go. It seems strange that for this match they couldn't have a small allocation of tickets for sale here as well as in Rome. I think it's a good idea that some are available from Rome so people can guarentee a ticket before coming over but if you can not buy these tickets from anywhere else then surely Liverpool and Lazio are losing a market, possibly as big as the Rome Laziali who will come over. I am so frustrated by the way this has gone since being really excited when the match was confirmed. Oh for the ease of Southampton last year....

Sorry for the rambling again, it's just a real pain!

Ye I had a friend who has a Liverpool fan card to get tickets so I was fairly fortunate, it didnt give me an option for those who didnt have a fan card or fan card connection

What! You mean you are in with the Laziali? This seems even more unfair now if Liverpool fans can get away tickets.... unless I've got the wrong end of your message! What block is Lazio's?

Who of you is going to attend the match? And who is going to the Lazio section?
Please try to find out in other forums about all laziali going to Anfield .
Let' s try to meet other laziali arriving ( 150ppl) from italy and have a real Party!

block O & P is always for the visitors (on the left)
I think they will give only P for Lazio, and release O for L'Pool fans

No am in the main stand with the Liverpool fans, its like Southampton again

Liverpool will play 4/5 days later their qualifier for CHL against Standard (Bel), so they might field a weaker team ... time to get some result there

got a feeling they may give their star men a run out for 45 minutes or so.

Surely with a UCLQ coming up Liverpool will play Gerrard, Torres and some other star players for perhaps one half but I do not think they will risk them for the entire game. I assume this game is only 3 subs allowed or is it unlimited?

I want to watch the game but unfortunately I do not think SKY Sports here in NZ will broadcast it although I will check just in case.

FORZA LAZIO!!!!

No way to watch the game ... even if RAI international could have it ... ill be working

i dont know if Aljazeera sport channel will broadcast it, I can't wait to see Lazio live again.

Hey guys, it's my first time on here so firstly I would like to say hello to all my fellow brothers out there... I just wanted to CONFIRM to all of you that as far as tickets in an away area go for us, there is NO CHANCE of us getting tickets from this country. Liverpool football club has done this on purpose to stop us being at the game. I have spoken to them numerous times and when confronted, they either blame the management oR simply say " they don't know" which is really bugging me. How can a club like Southampton be so helpful and efficient last year (Even the stewards were asking to take pictures with my friends, myself and our flags) and a massive club like Liverpool be so hopeless that they dont't even know how many tickets Lazio have??? I think we have been dealt with very badly, they showed their true scouse ignorance on this occasion. Fair enough if they are worried about trouble, but have a small allocation which can be purchased prior to the match day and collected on the match day at the box office, Then we may have the chance to get a dozen of us in there to cheer the boys on. I will be suprised if more than 5 people come over from Italy for this game. I have travelled all over Europe to watch Lazio and had no problems, yet we can't even get a ticket in the country of my birth and residence!!! IF ANYONE WANTS TO MEET UP DOWN THERE AND FIND A WAY TO GET IN, GIVE ME A SHOUT..... APART FROM THAT, ALL WE CAN HOPE FOR IS LAZIO HAMMER THOSE SCUMBAGS AND LIVERPOOL GO BANKRUPT AND GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!! THEY ARE ALMOST AS BAD A CLUB AS A.S MERDA (ROMA)!!

Well Liverpool is my favourite english team, and I thought those people do business with extreme professionalism!!!


Liverpool are one of our best friends...we beat them they beat AS Roma.

This is kinda strange!but let us hope for a nice game without them go bankrupt.

will it be on live on tv in england?

It's too early for game but here online link

Hi... I see and i knew about this problems.
From rome we are more then 100 and trust me we will be very "noisy" / Flags and scarfs/ only.
Many Laziali supporters are also in different sections and i hope that you will meet them after or before that match.
There is only one command: Support Lazio and have Fun.

Hi IRRIDUCIBILI UK,
This has been a cause of frustration for all of us, see https://laziofever.forumotion.com/free-talks-f9/liverpool-vs-lazio-friendly-tickets-t295.htm for previous posts about the situation. Ermetico was very helpful in finding out that tickets were only for sale in Rome but, like you, I had no luck with the Liverpool ticket or info lines. It would have seemed sensible to have made an allocation for British fans but I think they have simply organised this along the same lines as they do for Champions League matches where there is stricter control of fans. It said somewhere that this is their first friendly at home in years so clearly they have no idea how to sort one out. I thnk someone should tell them that it is a friendly for goodness sake!

Like you said, Southampton couldn't have been organised better. A steward went and got me some programs during the match as you couldn't go out again and he thought they wouldn't be sold afterwards. We mixed with Saints fans outside after the match and they were interested in finding out about Lazio and talking about football in general. Ipswich the year before was done well too, they told me weeks ahead that tickets for Lazio fans were on sale on the day. Simple.

I am still considering going but it would cost a lot for train fairs and I've found there is little chance of hotel rooms now so I'd have to hang around until 6am to get home! I had wondered about just getting a home ticket and then trying to get in the away section by wearing my Lazio shirt and pleading with the stewards but I doubt that would work with the draconian way the club has done things so far. I don't think you would be allowed in a home area with a Lazio colours either.

I realised that it would be possible to do a day trip to Rome for not much more than this would cost, you could see a competitive match at the Olimpico and sit where you wanted and still get home at a decent hour without needing to worry about hotels. I may just do this later this year and leave the Liverpool fiasco!

" I don't think you would be allowed in a home area with a Lazio colours either."

Exactly what I fear, Im going in the away shirt under a coat, so I can take it off when inside

I have found out for people living in UK that LIVERPOOL V LAZIO will be on LIVE LFC TV channel.

I am subscribed to setanta sports channel and therefore get a whole of other channels including LFC channel. I have never realised I had LFC tv channel.

I cannot wait to watch our new signings. I hope we teach Liverpool a good lesson about football.

Ed, my suggestion is for you to pay £10 and get setanta channel on sky for 1 month. This way you can watch lazio live on tv.

Then save up, and watch lazio play in Rome in a competitive match,

Value for money I would say rather than dishing out money to the scousers. Going to Liverpool will be a rip off and the scouser scums will treat you like a bag of shits.

I'll probably just watch on the net (which viper gave the link for), varied quality but it's usually not bad if on Sopcast. It does seem a better bet to go to Rome than give money to the club who have made it a real pain for us. Are you speaking from experience about the Liverpudlians, conceicao14!!!?

I just know I'll get that feeling when the match is being played that you get when the team are in the country but you don't or can't go...

save all your £££, and let's all meet on 11/04/09 in Rome, for the derby

The Liverpudlians are ok supporters when they are abroad but assoles when your in their stadium. Plus trap town full of scousers. Aggressive lot they are.

Yes, save your money and link up with the rest in Rome. At least you will be welcome in open arms.

I know how you feel about your beloved team playing right on your doorstep.
