Spirit of Shankly are delighted that Liverpool have announced they will reimburse visa costs for supporters travelling to Moscow for our Champions League game on Tuesday 26 September.

It has been an anxious few days hoping for a postitive decision. Now it has been made club officials who have listened to what we have had to say should be applauded. In taking action they have demonstrated that they do value the role supporters play in the club’s success.

It is a positive outcome that shows the benefits of supporter engagement. When done properly, both the club and it’s loyal following can profit.
