• Red Issue fanzine organises stunt before Liverpool v
Spurs
• Getaway car was waiting outside the ground
Manchester United
fans attempting to ensure maximum enjoyment is wrung out of
the club's record-breaking 19th title took their cause to Anfield
on Sunday, unveiling a banner inside the ground before the Reds'
game against Spurs.
United clinched their landmark 19th title on Saturday, finally
eclipsing Liverpool's total of 18, and the
club's supporters went to great lengths to ensure those at Anfield
were fully aware of that fact.
As Liverpool fans began their customary chorus of You'll Never
Walk Alone, United fans, organised by the Red Issue fanzine,
unveiled a banner emblazoned with the words "MUFC 19 TIMES" in the
Anfield Road End of the ground.
Those responsible had a getaway car waiting outside the ground,
plus fellow conspirators in the adjoining stand in order to get
photographic evidence.
The banner-baiting between the clubs has a long history, with
Liverpool fans' now famous "Come Back When You Have Won 18" banner
kicking things off in 1994. United fans responded to that after
clinching their 18th title in 2008-09 and have now added another
chapter to the ongoing rivalry.
