Anfield Exodus
This is great.
And out of the blue. Sure, everyone is disgruntled with modern professional football and sure, everyone wants things to get better. But since Liverpool fans danced around Broughton and Purslow in 2010, I haven't seen much of the rebellious spirit, bar the odd banner here or the odd chant there.
My hopes for any kind of reform of football, particularly at Liverpool, have been drowning for a long, long time. I've seen Liverpool fans openly encourage others to 'get stuck in and read The S*n...all politicians should start writing for it, because it has influence in this country and it's the only way to win an election' on RAWK, and journalists like Tony Evans have been lambasted by Reds for shaking heads at the attempt to turn every single particle of the club into a profitable marketing campaign.
^This sort of conservative, unimaginative shite has been nothing short of depressing and even more so in light of the eye-closing dross served up on the pitch. But the walkout is something we've not seen before, and suggests that a large section of supporters are beginning to tune into a truth which for too long now, has been brushed under the game's turf: that the health of our clubs, both on and off the pitch is being neglected by people who couldn't care less about us.
