UCL- Real Madrid v Liverpool allocation – Letter to Billy Hogan

Letter to LFC Chief Executive Dear Billy UEFA Champions League Fixture - Real Madrid v Liverpool - March 15 2023 We understand Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is undergoing some redevelopment work and as a result, the capacity has been capped at just over 60,000 for season 2022/23.

Supporters Board

Role of the Supporters Board It is two months since the launch of the Supporters Board and, following some enquiries from members and fans, we wanted to give an update on how it will work to prevent any misunderstanding over its role. Spirit of Shankly and Liverpool FC entered a new era of supporter engagement with the SB that sees fan representation at board level. But this does not mean the SB has a seat on the LFC Board, no supporters sit on that Board. The fan-led SB is a completely separate entity to deal [...]

Ticket Collections

European away game ticket collections This week, LFC announced selling arrangements for the Champions League fixture away to Rangers on 12 October and that some supporters will have to collect their tickets on arrival in Glasgow.

We, along with other supporter groups, made the strongest representation to the club, but they have decided to proceed. There are multiple reasons for opposing ticket collections, but the main one is that they destroy the matchday experience. They are a total inconvenience to fans who [...]
