John_mac Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Twelve Simple Questions An open letter to the supporters of Liverpool Football Club: 1. Why are Liverpool Football Club playing a football match on 15th April 2006, the seventeenth anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster? 2. Why did Liverpool FC not inform the Premier League that they would be unwilling to play on this date prior to the fixture program being released? 3. Why did Liverpool FC not apply to the Premier League and ask them for permission to rearrange the fixture? 4. Why did Blackburn not receive any correspondence from Liverpool about rearranging the fixture until very recently? It was farcical to see that Blackburn were willing to rearrange but had not received a request from Liverpool. Had Sky television chosen to screen the fixture live on good Friday would the club have then accepted a rearranged date? 5. Is Sky Television?s money more important to hierarchy at Liverpool Football Club than Hillsborough? 6. Why has the Chief Executive of Liverpool Football Club not responded to the numerous letters he has received on this issue? 7. Bradford City Football Club have come out and publicly announced that they will never play on the 11th May, the date that marks the anniversary of the Bradford Fire. Why have Liverpool FCN never shown the same respect for the memory of the victims of Hillsborough that Bradford have? 8. Neither Blackburn nor the Premier League have any objections the game being rearranged to Good Friday, why do Liverpool? 9. Why has the club chosen a half-hearted compromise to a situation which requires a clear and concise statement from the club a statement that requires no further clarification: ?Out of respect for the victims of the Hillsborough Disaster Liverpool Football Club will never again play on 15th April, the date that marks the anniversary of the disaster.? 10. Why did it take the football club seven months to make a decision to even query the time and date of the fixture? 11. Have the club even written to Sheffield Wednesday FC to question the wisdom of playing a football match at the Hillsborough stadium at 3pm on 15th April 2006? 12. The 15th April is a day that many Liverpool fans will never ever forget and they should be allowed to pay their respects to the victims of Hillsborough on this date. Many, many Liverpool fans feel that this date is sacrosanct in the calendar, why do the hierarchy of Liverpool Football Club not appreciate this and why have they chosen to play a fixture which could easily have been accommodated elsewhere in the calendar on 15th April 2006?
