Man City Fans Warned About Tragedy Chanting Ahead of Liverpool Clash
Tragedy chanting has become an unfortunate occurrence in football matches across the country. In light of Liverpool’s upcoming visit to Manchester City, the hosts have taken proactive measures to address this issue. They have sent emails to their fans, emphasizing the importance of responsible conduct and will make announcements over the stadium’s public address system on match day.
Spirit of Shankly, a Liverpool supporters’ group, attended a police briefing before the fixture and issued a statement ahead of the team’s trip to the Etihad Stadium:
This match has been classified as “high risk” due to previous incidents. The police’s objective is to minimize risks and ensure a safe environment, potentially allowing for a later kick-off time. Before entering the stadium, fans will undergo standard ticket checks, including electronic scanning and pat-downs at the turnstiles. Inside the stadium, both Liverpool and Manchester City stewards, along with police spotters, will be vigilant in identifying and preventing any instances of coin or missile throwing.
Tragedy chanting will be strictly policed and stewarded. Manchester City has committed to eradicating this behavior by encouraging their staff to take appropriate action. A pre-match briefing for police and stewards will include communications from Liverpool Football Club, as well as a video featuring Margaret Aspinall.
Information regarding this issue has already been shared with Manchester City fans and will be prominently displayed on the stadium’s public address system and scoreboard. This marks a positive step towards addressing the problem.
We have also requested that Manchester City communicate with their supporters regarding the “always the victim” chants. They have indicated that they will discuss this matter and provide us with an update.
An anonymous text number will be available to report any issues, specifically related to tragedy chanting or coin/missile throwing.
