An Open Letter to UEFA

Champions League Final Liverpool FC have reached the Champions League final. Again. In Paris, against Real Madrid. Again. For our fans, it’s another European final jaunt, the climax of the season, the hope of winning again. For some fans anyway. For thousands there will be no trip to Paris because there will be a shortage of tickets. Again. Stade de France, the venue for the final, holds 75,000. LFC and Madrid, each receive shy of 20,000. In total, loyal supporters will make up just over 52 percent of the capacity crowd. A free-for-all public ballot accounts [...]

Sweet FA – FA Cup Semi Final

Sweet FA - FA Cup Semi-Final The FA’s response to the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC on Easter weekend, when there are no direct trains from either city to London, is to charter 100 free coaches. A case of too little, too late, it also does nothing for the majority of fans involved. Expecting a minimum of 66,000-plus supporters to travel to Wembley from the northwest makes little sense to begin with, but without the availability of train travel it is ridiculous. The FA, according to Network Rail bosses, were [...]

NFT Launch

NFT Launch Liverpool FC today launched an official collection of NFTs. In January, Spirit of Shankly attended a two-hour meeting with the club, as part of the revised approach to open engagement, in order to discuss their plans for this new venture. NFTs are a digital phenomenon that have exploded over the past year and we asked them why they were considering a move into this market. We were able to challenge, scrutinise, and question their desire to enter into this. We also raised concerns about financial, environmental sustainability and other risks involved. LFC do [...]

Wembley Semi-Final Travel Chaos

Rail disruption Spirit of Shankly and all Liverpool FC supporters along with City’s 1894 Group and fans of Manchester City FC celebrated on Sunday at reaching the FA Cup semi-final.  Yet rather than basking in the anticipation of the match, to be played on Saturday 16 / Sunday 17 April, it was, for all involved, not a case of “We’re on our way to Wembley” but “How will we get to Wembley?” Over the upcoming Easter weekend, when the game is scheduled, there are no trains between Euston and Milton Keynes, meaning there is no [...]
