Oh, what a surprise, the Spirit of Shankly rears it’s ugly head and big Scouse gob again. Who the f*ck do they think they are?
From the Liverpool (FC) Echo.
Liverpool supporters' group Spirit of Shankly have also expressed their displeasure at the move.
“We acknowledge there have been issues involving both sets of supporters in recent seasons, but this course of action is counter-productive," said a statement. "At the corresponding fixture last season, Liverpool fans experienced overzealous stewarding and policing, and were locked in the ground after the match with no access to toilets.
"Such undue treatment of supporters serves only to increase tension, which SOS fed back to Greater Manchester Police at the time. Now, it appears, Liverpool supporters are to be penalised further.
“We understand reduced allocations at the Etihad have also happened to other clubs, which don’t seem to be about away fan behaviour, but poor crowd management."
