Few years old now but as relevant now as when published

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Won us the league. Handled the Jota tragedy with immaculate humanity and connection. Just because the footy was a bit rough people were saying absolutely abhorrent things about him. Will be a legend forever and rightfully should stay on the banner on the kop

Before you say Origi vs Barcelona…

Watch Kenny Dalglish score as player-manager to win the league for Liverpool.

This might still be the most iconic goal in the club’s history.

I wish people understood what comments like this do to Hillsborough families.

We buried loved ones, endured decades of lies, and then sat through years of hearings while the evidence was examined in detail.

The findings were clear:
• supporters did not cause the disaster
• there was no evidence ticketless fans caused the crush
• the failures were institutional

Some of us gave our entire lives to proving the truth.

Again, anybody who sings “to Liverpool” needs fucking shooting

[Liverpolitan @NotLiamKelly]

@Simon_Hughes__ Zero sign of it getting any better. No attempt to scan earlier, improve queue setup, anything. Since the start of the season.
Was there a @TheAnfieldWrap / @johngibbonsblog interview with someone at the club who said they were ‘reviewing the data’? Hard to believe.

[Spion Kop 1906 @SpionKop1906]

We welcome @LFC decision to no longer proceed with its previously announced three-year ticket pricing model. Thank you to everyone who helped support action during this.

[Liverpool FC Supporters Board @_lfcsb]

On Saturday, supporters sent a clear warning to LFC about how they felt over multi-year ticket price increases.

We know that the club has seen it, we hope that they are listening.

Our message on where things stand now 👇

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

In the season FSG acquired Liverpool, (2010/11) matchday revenue was £40.9m. Last season it was £115.6m, an increase of 183%.

Matchday revenue is average attendance x number of matches x average price. Fans have to pay VAT of 20% on top of the revenue earned by the Club too.

Taking this into account, the price paid by a fan have increased from £42.44 to £82.11, which is 93.5% during the time that CPI has increased by 49.6%.

Part of this will be due to an increase in the proportion of tickets sold to corporate/hospitality/member fans, but even so, is there justification in the increases in ticket prices to STH?

Liverpool's success in attracting fans from all over the world is partly due to the vibrancy, the passion and the legend of the Kop (similar to the Stretford End, Kippax, Gallowgate, Clock End etc at other clubs historically) and current owners FSG have benefited from that.
They are standing on the shoulders of giants, but they seem to see those fans as a historical inconvenience and now want those fans to either pay up or move on.

Can’t hold up the card then go get a pint at ht

[Liverpolitan @NotLiamKelly]

@WilcoFtbl @ClassLFC 2 of the reasons for the small/non-increases are because we made a stand in 2016; and because no one could set foot in a ground for a year so there was no one to charge. Swerve the ‘holier than thou’ attitude.

[Liverpolitan @NotLiamKelly]

@TheScunnyLad @anfieldforge Yes the £1.2m per season these increases generate really secure the talent

[Gareth Roberts @robbohuyton]

I was interviewed earlier by @bbcmerseysport about Saturday’s #ShowFSGTheYellowCard protest at Anfield.

On the 13th minute hold your yellow card up! 🟨

[Άννα Β @Liver16bird]

Why do @lfc keep saying

“The club also stressed that current match ticket prices on the Kop remain unchanged from when FSG took ownership over 15 years ago, despite a 45 per cent cumulative inflation over that time”

When they blatantly have? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Mo Stewart @The_Mighty_Mojo]

A greeting for everyone here for Arne Slot’s press conference this morning

[Spion Kop 1906 @SpionKop1906]

Dear John… It’s not us. It’s you.

🖊️ Supporters, sign our open letter to John Henry and ask that he listens and thinks again about the club’s decision to increase ticket prices over multiple seasons.
