The Spirit of Shankly Liverpool supporters union has been contacted by the Hillsborough Justice Campaign (HJC) with a request to our members.

Partners Credit Union has been awarded the National Credit Union Award for Excellence in Innovation in recognition of its innovative work with the Spirit of Shankly supporters' union. 

In light of recent events surrounding Liverpool Football Club, Spirit of Shankly has been in contact with the club to gain an understanding of what the owner’s strategy may be moving forward. Spirit of Shankly has always held the position that it is not our place to be picking and choosing individual managers, our duty is to represent our members in demanding that the Club has an executive structure in place that can effectively support the manager, whoever that may be.

Since the launch of The Football Quarter prospectus back in December, KEIOC and Spirit of Shankly as All Together Now have been working with relevant organisations to progress the concept.

Following several emails of complaint from members regarding representatives from Honda in the Liverpool end at Old Trafford, Spirit of Shankly contacted the Club to establish how these individuals managed to secure tickets to a fixture where our allocation had been reduced to only 2,100 due to licencing restrictions imposed on MUFC.

A special event aimed at increasing the number of blood donors is taking place this Friday, 24th February in memory of Paul Rice, former Chair, Vice Chair and honourary Vice-President of Spirit of Shankly. The National Blood Service will be bringing their promotional vehicles into Williamson Square and encouraging people to register to give blood in memory of Paul.

The ticketing campaign vote results about if members were in favour of the proposed ticket campaign proposal presented at the EGM were 97.2% in support, 1.4% against and 1.4% with no preference.

When over three hundred of us crammed into the backroom of The Sandon pub four years ago, not many expected us to be where we are today. The future of our football club looked bleak and worry and desperation crept in as we debated and argued about what was best for the football club. In the next few months and years, our worst fears came true, as the problems in the boardroom meant success on the pitch ground to a halt. No cup finals, no trophies. Now, 4 years on from that historic meeting, supporters are back doing what they do best - planning trips to cup finals and talking of silverware again. Sadly though, not all those who have helped us achieve this moment will be there to witness it. Tomorrow, Paul Rice, our Vice Chair, Honorary Vice President and former Chairman, will be laid to rest following his death on 21st January 2012.

It is with deep regret and sadness that the Spirit of Shankly have to announce that one of the founders and Vice President of the union, Paul Rice, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Marie Curie hospice at 11am this morning.
