Alan Cooper took it upon himself to organise a banner campaign for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. All very straightforward, you might think – until you realise it started with two weeks to go before the finals, and without any money or contacts in place to make it happen.
Alan and the other guys involved managed to get nationwide coverage and more for the SaveLFC campaign. Firstly, a FIFA official decided to destroy one of the banners with a stanley knife – a story that got prominent coverage from the BBC, as well as other outlets: Fury at Liverpool FC Flag attack.
Then, later in the tournament, Jonathan Pearce announced live on BBC1 during the Portugal v Spain game: “There’s that Save Liverpool FC banner we’ve seen a few times at the tournament”. The goal of raising awareness accomplished, we interviewed Alan to get an insight into how he made this happen.
This summer Liverpool fans took their Save Liverpool campaign to the World Cup in South Africa – in the form of 4 banners (The Spirit of Shankly supporters union also had a similar banner there with their ‘Tom & George – not welcome anywhere’ message on it).
The banners were designed to raise awareness on the World stage about what is going on at the club and the need to get Tom Hicks and George Gillett out of the club.
The banners certainly caught people’s attention in South Africa and they were picked up on by the media as well:
It’s been a few weeks since the release of their single, “March of the Sons of Anfield”, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to have a chat with the guys who made the single, and get their views on the campaign, and on the ownership situation at the club.
Do you want to declare your independence from Tom and George?
Do you want to tell them that they are not welcome anywhere?
SOS want you to send out that message further, that it is not just those in Anfield or Liverpool that want Tom and George out, but many fans from right across the world.
You know the facts. But how you can make a difference? Here are some ways to get behind the cause, and add to the pressure. Nobody’s forcing you – you choose.
STOP!
Instead of an hour a day arguing with strangers on an Internet forum over who the next manager should be, educate yourself and spread the word. To get the facts, check www.savelfc.org.
