Manchester City allocation Reports in today’s press note a reduced allocation for our game away to Manchester City at the Etihad on Saturday 1 April. In 2019, Liverpool FC’s allocation for this fixture was 3,028. When supporters returned after Covid, this was reduced to 2,880. The reason for the reduction, we were told, was due to missiles being thrown from the home end at away supporters. Rather than reduce tickets in the home section, where the aggravation came from, Manchester City reduced the away allocation. Manchester City are now looking to reduce this further with [...]

First meeting with LFC representatives Today, Tuesday 4 May 2021, Spirit of Shankly, with the full backing of affiliates, met with Billy Hogan and Liverpool FC representatives. At the meeting SOS tabled the following requests: Two SOS representatives at LFC board level in relation to issues that impact fans and the Anfield community as a whole.

European Super League: a statement Liverpool Football Club’s confirmation, made at 11.30pm on 18th April 2021, that they “have joined Europe's leading clubs in agreeing to form a new competition, the European Super League” is both shocking and shameless.
