@itsdellboy@liencam@sidlowe Yeah about 6 fellas had to get off our plane which was taxied out about 10 mins by bus from the terminal because there was no seats for them! They were still stood on the side of the runway when we took off!
A brilliant effort yesterday by everyone and a massive thanks to all who helped and supported.
It’s a message the club surely has to listen to now.
This isn’t going away.
Being the only club to shut down a conversation with its own supporters by locking in general admission price rises for three years is tone deaf, however it’s spun.
Three years. No annual say. No accountability.
Normalising price rises when there is already widespread concern about the direction of the game is all business and no heart.
And that’s the clash.
Fans love their clubs and give everything to supporting them.
Give something back, instead of seeing what more you can wring out of them.
It’s not just the Supporters Board or some supporter groups. It’s not just some supporters, or just the Kop.
It’s Anfield and supporters made their feelings clear.
LFC, please listen to your supporters.
Manchester City: “The Club has taken the approach in recognition of the extraordinary accumulated impact of the current cost of living pressures on fans and their families.”
Er, @John_W_Henry?
You listening, John?
John?
Well done @ManCity 👏
Over to you @LFC
Take the appalling 3 year price rise proposal off the table and sit down with the supporters representatives.
#FootballWithoutFansIsNothing
Even if you’re not all that bothered by the increases and the way football is going coz you’re in the “I’m alright Jack” camp, show a bit of solidarity with those who are. This is not a division between fans, everyone should be backing and supporting all those who feel the need to protect our club, its values and the direction it’s heading. If the message gets heard, it paves the way for future generations of fans to support the club they love without skinting themselves to do so! 🟨🟨🟨
On the 19th April 1989, just 4 days after the #Hillsboroughdisaster, this was the headline that The S*n chose to release.
Some of the dead had only been formerly identified for less than 72 hours, their bodies still lying in mortuaries, the bereaved completely broken, and around 766 survivors were beyond traumatised & injured.
The headline was approved by the then editor Kelvin Mackenzie, who argued that his only mistake was trusting his "source," conservative MP Irvine Patnick. Mackenzie originally wanted to use the headline "You Scum," but apparently, others convinced him to change it!
The headline led to protests and a boycott in Merseyside.
Sales of the rag dropped all over the UK, but they still refused to apologise and withdraw their disgusting allegations.
Around 20 of the rags "journalists" were sent to Liverpool and Sheffield to find negative information about Liverpool fans and victims of the crush.
▫️Some "journalists" impersonated concerned family members, priests, and social workers to gain access to the hospital bedsides of the injured and obtain information from hospital staff
▫️Some entered the home of Anne Williams, uninvited
▫️Some blackmailed the family of a deceased teenager, telling them that if they didn't give a photograph of him, they would use an image of him in hospital on life support against their wishes
▫️some "journalists" harassed families like mine, waiting in our street for us to leave the house. Hiding behind cars, which meant I had to be taken to school late and be picked up early to avoid them getting my photograph.
I was 6 years old.
▫️other "journalists" photographed funerals despite being asked not to.
Whilst we know the lies started with Duckenfield as he watched the disaster unfold from the police control box, The S*n enabled South Yorkshire Police Force to continue to lie.
It enabled West Midlands Police force
to continue to build on those foundations for the Cover Up.
Although a majority didn't believe it, some did, and others continue to do so today.
This headline tarnished families, survivors, Liverpool fans, the city, and more appallingly, it tarnished the dead.
It is 1 of the direct causes for tragedy chanting and death mocking.
It enabled "professionals" to lie and cover up within their own organisation, and it was directly responsible for torment and mental suffering of bereaved families and survivors.
It is my understanding that disgusting headline, cause some survivors to take their own lives.
And yet NOBODY from Whites News Agency, Sheffield, nor Mackenzie, nor Patrick Irvine or any of the "journalists" who went to disgusting measures to intrude on other peoples suffering or grief, have ever been held to account.
This is one of many reasons for @NowHillsborough
We have recently seen at the Nottingham inquiry that the police force response for abhorrent failings tried to silence the media to stop the exposure of their grossly negligent failures.
A Hillsborough Law would have seen the "journalists" from the S*n, held to account for their misleading information.
It would have given Mackenzie & Irvine a legal duty of candour.
Hopefully a Leveson 2 may come......
But until then this your reminder of the power of lies, misinformation and why we #DontBuyTheSun
#JFT97 #HillsboroughLawNow
On the 37th anniversary of the tragedy at Hillsborough, the SWFC Supporters’ Trust decided to lay its tribute at the newly renovated Peoples’ and Traders’ memorial at the top of Leppings Lane. A team of volunteers, led by Jean and Julie, decided to tidy up the memorial and worked to involve the club, the City Council, and the Trust, which financed the renovation of the memorial stone. The Trust reaffirms its solidarity with all of those affected by the tragedy. #swfc
Remembering all those who lost their lives on the 37th anniversary of The Hillsborough tragedy.
Thoughts, love & prayers to their families, friends and everybody affected by that tragic day in 1989. They shall never walk alone.
