It may not have been the right result on the pitch for Liverpool
today, but off the pitch it was a success for the Liverpool
Supporters Union, Spirit of Shankly.
A peaceful protest took place prior to kick off, aimed at
denying joint owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett access to
Anfield. The protest was a success with 8 empty seats in the
director’s box during the game and police turning Hicks and Gillett
away on health and safety grounds.
SOS posted a short update on their Facebook page tonight saying
the protest worked. Full details will be made available on
Monday.
Tom and George were on one of their few all-expenses paid trips
to Anfield, with it being against a big four club of course. Don’t
hold your breathe seeing them against Wigan on Wednesday.
It appears there were some arrests, although one in particular
seems to have been a blatant targeting of an SOS leader.
Well in SOS, the message is clear Tom and George, You’re
Not Welcome!!!
