Signed rare Steven Gerrard boots auction
The success of modern-day Liverpool FC was built on the work of Bill Shankly and his players. As Steven Gerrard himself said in the recent Shankly film 'Nature's Fire', if it wasn't for Shankly and his players, there would not have been a club like LFC on his doorstep to sign for.
Public meeting to discuss ticket changes
Last year, LFC announced a change to their supporter engagement. Alongside the appointment of Tony Barrett as Head of Club and Supporter Liaison, they established five fan forums to consult and engage on issues that affect us. Spirit of Shankly have representatives on each of these forums and, as always, we will continue to put forward the views of our members and fan interests.
Ten years of the union
Time tends to pass fairly quickly, and against the history of Liverpool FC, a decade isn’t much. Today, 31 January, marks 10 years since a meeting in The Sandon pub of 350 supporters. Angry at Tom Hicks and George Gillett burdening the club with debt and more, we met to discuss passionately what we should do.
Supporting Huddersfield foodbank
In solidarity with the people of Huddersfield, Spirit of Shankly are appealing to Liverpool fans travelling to the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday 30 January to lend their support to the area's local foodbank.
10 year anniversary evening
It is hard to believe it is 10 years since Spirit of Shankly was founded. A decade on, we want to look back on what we have achieved, celebrate the successes, and reminisce.
For our team we’ll travel anywhere …?
When LFC published the selling details for our away Champions League fixture against Porto, we noted with interest that the price of tickets had been omitted. We were extremely concerned to see that the club were “in discussions with UEFA to clarify the pricing structure for this game”.
Joint forces
Fans Supporting Foodbanks is a joint initiative between Spirit of Shankly and EST1878 recognising that hunger on Merseyside does not wear club colours.
The price is not right
‘You got your education from The Kop’. An old-school chant about growing up supporting Liverpool. But it seems increasingly that’s no longer the case.
Response to new ticket announcement
Although the last week has been a sorry tale in the recent history of the relationship between owners of LFC and the Club’s supporters, it has also seen both the best of what Liverpool FC supporters are about and the incredible power those same supporters have to promote change for the better at LFC.
Merseyside Derby police meeting
Spirit of Shankly attended a meeting with LFC and EFC Club officials, a representative of the Blue Union and Merseyside Police on the 4th December to discuss the policing and stewarding for this weekend’s derby.
The true spirit of Shankly
Liverpool’s fixture this weekend is a little special. The Reds host Huddersfield Town in a league game for the first time in 46 years (October 1971). Huddersfield was, of course, the club Bill Shankly left, in December 1959, for LFC.
No Christmas Eve football
Spirit of Shankly welcome today’s announcement that no football matches will take place on Christmas Eve. We would like to thank Sky, the Premier League, Liverpool FC and other clubs for listening to supporter concerns about scheduling fixtures on this day.
Ho Ho No to Xmas eve football
The Premier League’s Richard Scudamore confirmed on Tuesday 10 October there will be no 4pm kick-off on Christmas Eve. It’s a decision welcomed by Spirit of Shankly, other supporter trusts and fans, and a decision we believe was reached as a result of coordinated pressure from supporters groups.
Supporters say no to Christmas eve football
Football supporters know all too well the impact that changes to the fixture schedule can have. Plans are rearranged and often expense incurred when a match is moved to accommodate cup football or TV scheduling. We have very little, if any, say, despite being the most put on stakeholders in the game.
SOS Newcastle foodbanks
Spirit of Shankly are appealing to fans travelling to Newcastle on Sunday to lend their support to the area's local foodbank.
