How does it feel to finally become a season-ticket holder at Anfield in 2015, thirty years after you had originally intended? A season that saw management change, squad rebuilding and the start of the redevelopment of the club's home? How does it feel when you have inherited your father's ticket and your wife and child are devout Evertonians?
In 1985, a much younger Ian Salmon wanted to become a Liverpool FC season-ticket holder, and a regular at Anfield - but life had other plans in store. Finally, in 2015 he inherited his late father's season ticket and took ownership of his seat, one which had been in his family for decades, arriving just in time for a season of change. A season which would see the redevelopment of the main stand around it and make his new seat's very future an uncertain one. Uncertainty was also just as apparent out on the field; high-profile signings arrived, Brendan Rodgers departed and bespectacled German Jurgen Klopp, who'd achieved legendary status via his exploits at Borussia Dortmund, entered in a blaze of glory. Still, inconsistency and injury threatened to derail all hope. Fighting on two fronts, at home and in Europe, could Klopp make it a season to remember for the Anfield faithful? They Say Our Days Are Numbered is Liverpool Football Club's 2015/16 season through one fan's eyes.
