never walk alone.

The Liverpool Supporters’ Union, Spirit of Shankly (SOS), was set up at the end of January 2008 when around 350 fans turned up at The Sandon to address the issue surrounding the current ‘custodians’ of Liverpool Football Club. The Union was formed and is now fully constituted and run by a democratically elected Committee who seek to represent members’ interests. The constant and defining aim of the Union is to hold the owners to account, but the Union has also been involved in many other issues.

+ Meeting with Club officials to discuss travel, ticket allocation and the club's finances. + Operating competitive coach travel to the majority of domestic away games for members. + Liaising and representing local and overseas members through supporter liaison officers. + Holding regular events including social events and fundraising evenings. + Providing free coaching camps for children in the community which saw us shortlisted for the European Football Supporters Award. + Mass meetings throughout the year with regular e-mail updates to keep our members informed on all issues.

WELCOME to issue one of Well Red, a new magazine for Liverpool fans, by Liverpool fans. The mag has been a long time coming, hopefully it’s worth the wait. I thought it was high time there was an independent voice discussing what fans really think about Liverpool FC. So there’s no nice posters of Nando I’m afraid, but there’s plenty about the real issues affecting our club. I’m keen to hear what you think of the mag, so let me know... If you’d like to write for a future edition, feel free to send in your articles or ideas by email.
