Hello sox fans,
Just a few other random things to say about the culture of Liverpool fans:-
Google "poor scouser tommy" lyrics - the best song, apart from YNWA sung by any football supporters anywhere. 5-6 verses and on occasion sung by many thousands on the kop when in full voice.
I've a mate who is an Arsenal fan and he admits it is the best football fan song ever.
We always clap the opposing goalkeeper, just tradition passed down.
We are generally associated with being the first set of fans to develop singing songs (not just chants) at football matches in the world in the 1960's.
Working class, blue collar support in the main. Liverpool the city is split 50/50 of Catholic and protestant faiths, unlike any other English city. We also have 2 cathedrals (generally unique in the world). We also have thousands of fans who come over from Ireland every week.
Check out kerrydale street (a celtic fc forum) which gives neutral (and emotional) views on Hillsborough.
Is my enemy's enemy also my friend? Think Yankees/Man U tie up!!!!
We regularly take 3-5000 fans to most away matches all over England, we also took well over 40,000 fans to Istanbul for the champions league final. We also took over 30,000 to Wolves to win the league in 1976 (we also took over their Kop that night).
I could go on and on.
Maybe you could also verse us in the culture of the red sox nation??
It's nice to talk more freely now that the divvies (trolls) have mainly gone.
I think both sets of fans would not want any money to be directed elsewhere than from their own club/franchise to another party, and I dont think this will happen. This could be the start of a beautiful fan relationship, if a bit of trust is given on both sides.
I have a red sox jersey from 2000, so was happy when you won the world series, although I dont have a clue about baseball.
BTW LIverpool is one of the friendliest cities, with the best night out you could wish for, if anyone wants to visit. Just think Dublin, but a lot cheaper, with more gorgeous girls and loads of good old fashioned pubs.
I went to Plymouth a few years ago for my honeymoon, but only went into Boston for 1 day, but enjoyed the tour, and a good few Sam adams.
