One Night In Istanbul is one not to be missed by Liverpool FC fans
ONE thing you can safely say about any Liverpool fan who was lucky enough to be in Istanbul on the night of May 25, 2005 is that they never tire of reminiscing about it.
So it was no wonder that a new play commemorating arguably the greatest night in Liverpool's history is being performed in front of packed audiences at the city's Empire theatre.
Had playwright Nicky Allt simply stuck to re-telling the story of that night it would no doubt have been enough.
The fact that Allt has come up with a top class piece of theatre in its own right makes One Night In Istanbul a fantastic evening's entertainment whether you were at the Ataturk or not.
Blood Red: Spirit of Shankly have made huge strides
SPIRIT of Shankly is holding a mass meeting at Zeligs in Liverpool One today and the huge strides the fans group has made since its formation 18 months ago is likely to be reflected in the turnout.
There have been so many high points for SOS during the last year and a half and everyone involved should be proud of their achievements.
Thecampaign to win justice for Michael Shields has been supported vigorously, the intentions of Liverpool co-owner George Gillett have been challenged in person, local and national politicians have engaged with the group and enormous pressure has beenbrought to bear on club officials and travel companies to win a fair deal for match-going fans.
When the media asks RBS for guidance regarding Liverpool's finances it rarely gets it. But not only did SOS receive a response from RBS, it actually got a detailed statement from the bank's public affairs head Roger Lowry who took the fans group so seriouslyhe felt the need to give a full explanation of RBS's relationship with Liverpool FC.
A telling moment for SOS as it provided the most vivid illustration yet of how far it has come since it was formed in the back room of the Sandon pub in January 2008.
