Spirit Of Shankly - Half Time Tonight

[Kenneth]

Can this be merged with the other protest thread?

Spirit Of Shankly call for tonight

Since DIC made their statement yesterday everything you hear suggests Liverpool’s supporters want, en masse, to make their feelings known about what they want the current owners to do. Go, and go now. It’s clear that tonight’s game against West Ham is a terrific opportunity. So let’s do this:



15 minutes of solid protest from the minute the half time whistle goes. Wherever you are in the ground, make your voice heard.



Every single one of you has to share the responsibility to join in. Don’t wait for others to take the lead, don’t feel self conscious. Get involved, get rowdy. Let’s stand together.



Those of you who feel that it’s hard to get the message out, those of you who feel it’s hard to educate people, well have another go now, be emphatic:



* They said they wouldn’t do a Glazer and buy the club with its own money. They have. We’ll be paying off 30m a year for them to own our club.
* They said there would be a spade in the ground within 60 days of taking over. Still no start date for the stadium. And they still haven’t secured the money to buy it.
* They said they’d back our traditions and way of doing things. They offered the manager’s job to Jurgen Klinsmann and then discussed it publicly
* They haven’t spent a penny of their own money – all the signings are on the never never. When does the never never end?
* For this investment of theirs to work they need us to finish fourth year in, year out and get the stadium built. Success for Kop Holdings and success for LFC are not the same thing.



If you feel people need educating, people in your work, your school, your boozer, your house, print that out and give it to them. Talk to them. Tell them why you are so angry, tell them why we need change. No one is saying DIC will be perfect but it’ll be fresh start, a chance to move this football club which we all love forward.



Hicks and Gillett dragged this club through the mud and have wasted a year of our time. It ends now. They should go now.



Tonight. Half time. Tell Hicks and Gillett exactly that.

Be yourselves tonight. Every last one of you, wherever you sit, be yourselves. Don't feel as though you have to stare at the Kop; they aren't there for your entertainment, they aren't there to be your voice, they are there to be their own voice. It can be hard singing on your own in a quiet part of the ground – singing at half time is almost unprecedented (though it's precedent is pretty special), we all know that. But please sing anyway. Let yourself be heard.



We've only got one more thing to add. There's two targets. There's Tom Hicks and there's George Gillett. But it's clear George wants out. He wants his pound of flesh but he wants out. Mr Hicks is slightly different. Make it clear, clearer, make it crystal he isn't wanted. We don't want part ownership Hicks/DIC. That fixes nothing.



Regardless, it's half time tonight.



From when that whistle goes make yourselves proud. Maybe we can't affect things, possibly we can but to not try, to not take an opportunity to be heard at this critical juncture of LFC's recent history, well we're not about that as supporters.



This is our club. Our custodians have let the side down. We never will.



Spirit Of Shankly.

Colin McNamara on 5 Live was saying it was just one chant sang throughout half time. It was a strong chant from the Kop and many banners in the stadium about wanting the Yanks out.

[rage]

3 chants amigo, yanks out, they don't care and you lying *******s.

i'm sure the music was louder on the tannoy system than usual to. it was a positive protest. didn't get in the way of the game and point once more made

Excellent stuff.

Well done all and sundry.
