Does football media stuff and that.

Yup. That’s why I’m taking my annual break from Twitter. 👍🏻

Do you feel like you spend too much time on social media? 🤳

@AndyMitten I’d have a look but I’m just working on my centre part for next haircut.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@TonyEvans92a Agree in general but “Margaret, Margaret, Margaret - Out! Out! Out!” would never have caught on.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @hug4esy @Johnjohano1983 It’s not available for that kind of event. I wish it was but it isn’t.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@rome77lfc @Johnjohano1983 As someone who grew up in L7 I think that’s a fair point. The current priority is L4, L5 and L6. As I said earlier, the more that this kind of stuff can be done the better.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@Johnjohano1983 @hug4esy @AdamW1982 The team don’t get back from the USA until the Friday and I don’t know this because I’m not involved but I’d expect them to travel to Scotland on the Saturday (24 hours before the Napoli game).

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 No.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@bono1712 @Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 They do one once a month. The kids come in through the Foundation with priority being given to patients at Alder Hey etc. It’s totally private and there’s no publicity.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@hug4esy @Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 I’m absolutely fine with the last bit. I strongly believe that Liverpool Football Club should always do as much as it possibly can in this respect.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 They started selling tickets for a game that was going to take place until the Norwich game got moved to the Friday night. Anfield was available until our first home game was brought forward.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@Dono1983 @Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 The team are at a pre season training camp in France.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@hug4esy @Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 To be honest, the night before a competitive game and the day of a game is not when I think access makes most sense. The entire reason why they’re being taken to a hotel is to focus and that involves shutting the rest of the world out. Same goes for events, media & interviews.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@hug4esy @Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 I’d argue that the access locally is better now than it has been for many years. Not because of any policies or anything, because we have a group of players and a manager who believe in engaging with supporters. You’re obviously entitled to disagree with that though.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@Johnjohano1983 @AdamW1982 Because tours aren’t a big event. They’re routine, small scale and self contained.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 I have. I’m explaining why we can’t use Anfield that week. I’ve asked. I’ve been told it’s not possible. I’m not sure what else you want me to do.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 So the fact that the club actually lost revenue by pulling the game should tell you all you need to know. As soon as our first game was moved to Friday night, Tuesday became a non-starter.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 The Charity Shield isn’t an issue. Having a live outside broadcast on a Friday night is.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@AdamW1982 @Johnjohano1983 They can’t. I asked that question on the day the Schalke game was called off. As soon as we were given the Friday night game Anfield wasn’t available for games or training that week.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@SenorNewman I’m in Liverpool.

[Tony Barrett @TonyBarrett]

@Josh_Hughes2005 @Johnjohano1983 I’m all for that but it hasn’t been possible.
