Remembering former players
A club of Liverpool’s stature has had many great players over the years, many of whom are remembered and lauded today. But there are also many who are forgottten.
Talks begin to review safe standing
Spirit of Shankly welcome the government announcement today, 5 June, that they plan to review the law concerning safe standing at top-flight football matches.
Cancelled flight follow-up
The result may not have gone our way, but for the majority of Liverpool supporters who made it to Kyiv for the Champions League final, it was the culmination of an exciting season following the Reds. But, there are also many fans who never made it after their flights were cancelled.
2018 Final in Kiev
European Cup finals are special. Everyone knows just where they were and how they felt. We remember them by the name of the city where they were played and a standout that happened. Istanbul and the comeback. Paris and Barney's chip. Rome and Bruce’s spaghetti legs. Kiev and exploitation.
Important information ahead of the final in Kyiv
Spirit of Shankly met with Merseyside Police yesterday, 21 May, to discuss arrangements for the Champions League final in Kyiv on Saturday.
If this means more, show it
On Tuesday 15 May, Spirit Of Shankly met with LFC to discuss supporter concerns ahead of the Champions League final in Kyiv. We posted a factual report of what took place here.
Meeting with LFC about Kyiv
Earlier today, 15 May, Spirit of Shankly representatives sat down with LFC officials to raise many of the issues facing supporters ahead of the Champions League final in Kyiv.
Request for LFC to engage regarding Kyiv
As part of the new supporter liaison set-up, LFC have, over the course of the season, held several match day meetings covering various topics. All in the name of supporter engagement.
Letter to Mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko
Following the Mayor of Kyiv's email welcoming Liverpool fans to Kyiv, here is Spirit of Shankly's response, sent by Karen Gill.
Statement on recent media reports for Roma
Football fans travelling to watch their team should do so with an expectation they will be treated fairly and provided a safe environment. There are just days before Liverpool travel to Rome for the Champions League semi-final second leg, on 2 May, and yet supporters are still awaiting information on what plans have been put in place for their safety. This is unacceptable.
Roma incident
Following the shocking and unprovoked attack on a defenceless Liverpool supporter outside Anfield before the Champions League semi-final against Roma last night, the thoughts of everyone associated with Spirit of Shankly are with the victim and his family and friends.
Roma away prices
On Friday 20 April, tickets go on sale for the away leg of Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League semi-final against Roma. Once again, as happened against Porto earlier in the competition, Liverpool fans are being asked to pay a premium.
Help for bereaved families of those who’ve taken their own lives
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. A staggering number of men – 84 – take their own lives in the UK every week. Eighty four. Most of those fit the same age demographic as match-going fans.
Recent supporter issues
In recent weeks, an alarmingly large number of members and supporters have contacted Spirit of Shankly regarding issues at the match. These have been both personal and witnessed. Incidents have been wide-ranging, including suspension or revoking of tickets due to allegations of using foul language, behaviour during the game and alleged misuse of tickets.
Supporters call for fair City pricing
Following yesterday's Champions League quarter-final draw, Spirit Of Shankly and Spion Kop 1906 are calling on both clubs to do the right thing by their fans. Given the escalated ticket prices for travelling supporters so far in this season’s competition, there is an opportunity here to send a strong statement on the value of supporters beyond money.
