 LIVERPOOL’S new “singing” section of the Kop could house almost 2,000 fans. Fans who have asked the club to create a separate section for more “traditional” supporters hope the new area will be called the “1892 Block.” The historical link is obvious – Liverpool FC was founded in 1892 – but a spokesman for Reclaim The Kop, the body behind the singing section initiative, said: “The area is probably going to be called 1892 Block, not just for the obvious reason but because there will be 1,892 seats. “It will be a section that espouses the traditional values of fair, loud, spontaneous support that has made Liverpool FC and the Kop world famous. "Singing section probably gives the wrong impression. This is a block where supporters who are in tune with the club's history and customs can congregate - fans who understand the Liverpool Way. “If our support is to stay 'special', fans need an example that is home-grown, innovative and uniquely Liverpudlian. 1892 Block can provide inspiration, not just for the team on the pitch but for the fans in the stands, too.” The Kop currently seats 12,000 fans in total. Discussions are ongoing with the club about re-introducing a limited window sale for the new section so that under-16s and others without access to credit cards and computers will have a chance to queue up and buy a ticket. Reclaim The Kop campaigners advise fans who wish to move to 1892 Block NOT to renew their current seats, but instead fill in the renewal form, attaching a brief note requesting to move to 1892 Block. Groups of supporters wishing to be seated together need to staple all renewal forms together along with a covering letter listing all names in the group. Initially, current season ticket holders in any part of the ground who wish to swap their existing seat for one in 1892 Block can do so by registering their name, fancard number and current seat number with RTK c/o nextyear@reclaimthekop.co.uk |
