Having been in these meetings, the patronising replies and disingenuous arguments are an absolute piss take. So are the attempts to dress this up as reasonable discussion and negotiation.

The Supporters’ Board was formed in the aftermath of @John_W_Henry trying to drag Liverpool into the European Super League (five years ago today). Something no one wanted and no one asked for.

Other supporter groups look at the SB as a gold standard. The reality has been far from it. Simply ending scrutiny and accountability by declaring “three years, end of” is a joke. It calls into question the point of the whole thing.

The PR since has more spin than the wheels on Ian Ayre’s Harley.

We were previously told concessions could be ring-fenced. So presenting that now as a win for supporters, when it was the club who moved away from it in the first place, is bollocks.

So are the endless lines about the “need” to do this. There is no need. It’s £1.2m. What it is, is the start of something. A slippery slope towards annual increases and normalising rises.

And what happens after three years? They won’t say. But we all know. They keep going up.

This is on Boston. And it’s about billionaires being out of touch. They don’t get what they’ve got. And they don’t get what they risk losing. Passionate, loyal, generational match-going support. The culture. The Kop. The habit. The love. It isn’t a product.

So the only move left is to protest. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, then this is the road we’re on now. Good luck to the kids wanting to do what we always did.

But if you care, now is the time to stand up and back it and make it work. Support Not A Pound In The Ground. Support the next steps. Get your mates on board. The people who have given up so much of their time for the greater good can’t do it on their own.

If you don’t, if you can’t be arsed, or if you want to spend your time opposing affordability, then as Ian Ayre once said:

Be careful what you wish for…

@NickyRuthz Played in champs league final mind

[Nubaid Haroon @RamboFYI]

That was the sort of Van Dijk performance that people don’t talk about.

When he strolls around and bullies strikers it’s incredible but he can do the dirty shift when needed.
14 clearances tonight. Dominant in the air.
Orchestrating the game from CB.

Incredible footballer.

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

Van Dijk man of the match by a distance tonight. Colossus.

[CounterPressers @CounterPressers]

Liverpool don’t win that game without Virgil van Dijk by the way.

Absolutely imperious in the air tonight. Looked completely unfazed at whatever Newcastle threw at him.

The best CB on the planet and has been for the last 8 years.

[Ste Hoare @stehoare]

Unfortunately, when racism and hate is on the rise in society, which it undeniably is, then it shouldn’t be a surprise that some dickhead feels entitled and emboldened enough to be racist in a football stadium. He’s an absolute disgrace, throw the book at him and do the same to anyone else openly promoting hate and division.

[Neil Stokes @ivor07]

@Total_Villa Don't feel sorry for clubs like Newcastle and city. If the rules wernt in place, these 2 would blow everyone out of the water for transfers and clubs like villa would go bankrupt trying to compete

[Neil Stokes @ivor07]

Who would have thought Diogo Jota wouldn't have united football and sport ❤️💔

[Neil Stokes @ivor07]

Devastating news. Taken in his prime and just after he got married. RIP 💔

[Paul Gorst @ptgorst]

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has died in a car accident. The 28-year-old is said to have been travelling with his brother, Andre Silva, in the Zamora region of Sanabria when the incident occurred.
