@Lfcsalesinfo@bkelly776 It's frustrating because why make us register for 3+ and 2+ if they're just going to keep it at 4+ (I know it states no guarantee of further sales after the 4+) but just defies odds, the club work in mysterious ways
@KeithJ1892@Lfcsalesinfo@LFCHelp I also messaged them yesterday and their response was they've updated their system to stop bots and any accounts applying for tickets they are not eligible for, so basically they know when you click in from your ISP address that you are not applicable. Seems a fob off to me like
We are re-appealing for information a year to the day a fail to stop collision in Kirkby left a teenage boy with life-changing injuries.
At around 6.25pm on Sunday 22 December 2024 emergency services were called to Bracknell Avenue, near to Kirkby High School, to reports of a head-on collision involving a dark silver Honda Civic and a 15-year-old boy, who was riding his pedal cycle.
The boy suffered extensive injuries which resulted in him having his leg amputated.
The car, which displayed a stolen 70 plate with the registration OV70 OWG, failed to stop following the collision and made off in the general direction of Bewley Drive and then towards Valley Road.
Enquiries established the car had been stolen during a burglary at a car dealership in Wigan on 8 December 2024.
On 18 December the car was spotted by police in Greater Manchester but disappeared after they gave chase in Wigan.
There were no other sightings until 28 December when the vehicle was seen again in Greater Manchester with damage to the windscreen and bonnet. The vehicle evaded officers and a short time later was found burnt out in Billinge.
A number of lines of enquiry have been carried out to trace the driver and officers are continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Sergeant Simon Duffy from our Matrix Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “This was a shocking incident which has left a teenage boy with life-changing injuries which continue to impact him to this day.
"This was a residential area with a 20mph speed limit but our forensic investigators have established the car was travelling in excess of 70 miles per hour.
"The car was a 2018 dark silver Honda Civic with very distinctive lighting to the front and rear. It had a false plate with the registration OV70 OWG.
“It is incomprehensible to think that anyone could even consider driving away and leaving the boy with such catastrophic injuries. We remain committed to tracking that person down and anyone who may have assisted following the collision.
“Our enquiries remain ongoing, and I would make an appeal directly to the driver of the car to consider the feelings of the boy and his family and come forward.
“We believe the vehicle was in the Sefton and Kirkby areas for at least one week prior to the collision so we would again appeal for anyone who has seen a vehicle like that in the image, to contact us as a matter of urgency.
"I would also ask the local community to consider the victim, his family and the risk posed by such a dangerous driver, and if you have any information at all regarding this incident, then please work with us to help identify those responsible for this crime. ”
If you have any information that can help, please contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on (0151) 777 5747, or by email [email protected] quoting reference 24001073245.
Crimestoppers is also supporting the investigation by offering a £7,500 reward for information the charity exclusively receives - via its website https://t.co/dn4hhnC6us or by calling 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the collision.
“My name’s Daniel. I’m 45, and two weeks ago I learned something about my mother that I’m still ashamed I didn’t see sooner.
She’s 80 and lives alone in the little tan house she’s been in for half a century.
The one with the peeling shutters and the mailbox she still refuses to replace because “it works just fine.”
Last Wednesday she called and said,
“Danny, I need help with my grocery list. Can you come? I think I’m forgetting things.”
My first instinct was annoyance.
I had deadlines.
Kids’ activities.
Bills on my desk.
A hundred things pulling me in every direction.
So I said, “Just tell me what you want. I’ll order it all online.”
She went quiet for a long moment before whispering,
“I’d rather you come.”
So I did.
When I walked into her kitchen, three grocery bags were already sitting neatly on the counter.
“Mom, you already shopped,” I said, confused.
She waved her hand. “Those are just basics. I still need a few things.”
She opened her notebook, the same spiral one she’s used for years, and handed it to me.
The list said,
grapes
paper towels
coffee creamer
company
Everything inside me stopped.
She looked embarrassed, like a child caught doing something wrong.
“I just didn’t know how else to ask you to come,” she whispered. “You’re always so busy, and I didn’t want to bother you.”
That sentence hit harder than anything I’ve felt in years.
My mom, the woman who worked two jobs and still made every school concert.
The woman who saved every drawing I ever made.
The woman who put herself last for decades.
She felt she had to pretend she needed groceries just to feel worthy of a visit from her own son.
I hugged her so tightly she laughed and said, “Oh goodness, you’ll break me.”
We never went to the store.
Instead we sat at the tiny kitchen table with the sunflower placemats she’s had since the nineties. We talked about the neighbor’s new dog. About her tomato plant that refuses to grow. About my dad, and how she still forgets he isn’t coming through the door sometimes.
The Christmas decorations were already up. A small artificial tree in the corner. The same faded ornaments I remembered from childhood. She said she put them up early because the house feels warmer that way.
I stayed longer than I planned. Drank terrible instant coffee. Listened the way she used to listen to me.
Before I left, she walked me to the door and held my hand longer than usual.
“You made my week, sweetheart,” she said softly.
Driving home, one thought wouldn’t leave me.
How many times had she waited by the window, especially this time of year, hoping my car would turn into the driveway?
How many afternoons did she tell herself, “He’ll come when he has time,” while the house filled with a quiet loneliness I never noticed?
Somewhere along the road of adulthood, work, kids, obligations, noise, I started treating her like an errand. Someone to fit in when life allowed it.
But to her, I was never an errand.
I was her world.
And all she wanted was an hour with her son in the home where she raised him, especially at Christmas.
The lesson is simple.
Your parents will not always tell you they are lonely.
They will not always say they miss you.
They will not always ask directly.
Sometimes they will hide it behind a grocery list.
Behind a broken lamp.
Behind a reason that does not really need fixing.
Go anyway.
Sit at their table.
Drink the bad coffee.
Let them tell the stories you have heard a thousand times.
Because one day the chair will be empty.
The notebook will be closed.
The porch light will be off.
And you will wish you had treated an ordinary Wednesday in December like the priceless moment it actually was.”

Come on now @LFC@TicketHelpLFC why would you have ALL THIS AVAILABILITY left for a game that kicks off in less than 24hrs, just for hospitality at extortionate prices. Surely it's not going to sell out so why not reduce them for us members and allow working class folk to go?
@Liver_Bert I get to say this now @Liver_Bert 🤣🤣
"Well I actually wish we were at the match but this selfish c**t is in Spain. @MarieDag81 🇪🇸 "
Oh no wait actually..... I am going to the match though, soz abar you 🤣🙈 x
