Spirit of Shankly welcomes today’s news that the club is to freeze season ticket prices for 2009/10. We believe that this is in no small part down to the dialogue we have had with senior club officials in recent months. It is also an encouraging first step by Commercial Director Ian Ayre since taking responsibility for ticketing at the club and SOS will seek to discuss other match day and travel issues with him in the next few weeks.

As far as the owners are concerned, we remain implacably opposed to their tenure. The continued uncertainty over their intentions leaves players, management, staff & supporters in the dark over the future direction of the club – we don’t know whether the manager has a transfer kitty for the summer, let alone whether the new stadium will ever see the light of day.
