FA Cup Arsenal v Liverpool: we’ve been here before

Here we go again Liverpool’s FA Cup third-round tie away to Arsenal in January has left fans with a strong sense of deja vu. Once again, the allocation, ticket price and kick-off time showing scant regard for travelling supporters. Allocation Under FA rules, and up to the semi-finals and final, visiting clubs are allowed 15% of a ground’s capacity, up to a maximum of 9,000 tickets. Liverpool’s allocation of 7,600 for the match on Sunday 7 January is 12.5%. Liverpool FC pushed back on this after an initial allocation of 5,200, but supporters are still missing [...]

Toulouse away: allocation, matchday feedback & group-stage pricing

Toulouse debrief We were frustrated to see the allocation for this game in France was way below the minimum levels set by UEFA*, leaving lots of supporters ticketless. Toulouse’s official stadium capacity for UEFA competitions is 31,156 – 5% of this is 1,557 tickets. Our allocation was 1,200 tickets, 3.6%. We contacted both LFC and FSE to see how this had been allowed. LFC assured us they had pressed for a larger allocation, however as we saw and experienced, the away sector of the ground is fenced in, meaning Toulouse are able to push back on [...]

Hillsborough Law is Rejected

We need a Hillsborough Law Today’s announcement from the government, 6 December 2023, in which it has rejected the Hillsborough Law reforms, is contemptible. This campaign has never been just about Liverpool supporters, victims of the Hillsborough disaster or their families and survivors, but a process to prevent police cover-ups in the future.  Having a Hillsborough Law was pivotal to the report by the former bishop of Liverpool James Jones published in 2017 and commissioned by the government. Entitled The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Power, it was aimed at ensuring the pain and suffering of the [...]

Man City v Liverpool police briefing

Man City v Liverpool police briefing Earlier this week, ahead of the game away to Manchester City tomorrow, Spirit of Shankly attended a police briefing, alongside representatives from LFC, MCFC and City’s supporters trust. We were able to ask questions on behalf of supporters, but the primary aim was for the police to share their plans for the day. As has been the case recently, this fixture is deemed ‘high risk’. The stated aim of the police is to reduce this and make it safe enough so that it doesn’t have to be a 12.30 lunch-time [...]
