Dear Members,

On behalf of myself and the committee, I would like to welcome you back for the forthcoming 2022/23 football season, and hope we have the same amount of success, if not more, this season as we had last season.

As you are probably aware LFC have once again changed their stance on ticketing policy for this season, this we feel could seriously impact on membership numbers during the season and also the number of tickets we have to distribute amongst our membership. Those of you who are unaware of the policy it is briefly this, all season ticket holders had to draw up a friends and family list by the 5th of August and submit it to LFC, and now tickets cannot be transferred to anyone outside of this list for the remainder of the season, therefore we will not in all probability have anymore members joining the club this season, because we will not be able to supply tickets, the same applies to our supporters who have LFC memberships, they cannot distribute as they did last season, and again because of this fact we will lose access to multiple tickets that we benefitted from last season. In addition to those points, the cost of coach hire has increased by a significant amount, so we are predicting a possible decline in revenue each week, therefore after considering these factors the committee have decided to increase the price of coach fares for Non-Members from £26 to £28 whilst keeping fares for members at £23 for the time being, as the club is a non-profit making organisation we are willing to use what reserves we have to subsidise any losses that we might incur
for the first few months of the season and review the situation during the break in November and then possibly we will be forced to increase the fares for Members in January.

The limited number of tickets that we do have, will be distributed amongst Members who do not have their own as fairly as possible throughout the course of the season. If Members require specific dates, i.e.; Birthday’s, Anniversaries etc, we will try to accommodate as best we can. One or more applications for the same date, will result in a ballot process, so for specific matches please contact Niki in the first instance, and if you haven't received acknowledgment within a few days, bearing in mind Niki works full time, by all means contact myself. Similarly with coach bookings contact S.Carter in the first instance, and Niki if I fail to get back to you.

With regards to match day ticket transfers, may I remind all members that in order to receive their tickets, they first of all need to download an NFC pass from the official Liverpool FC website.

Finally, when LFC changed the policy on season ticket holders last season, we lost a number of Members, including 4 committee members, so we are looking to recruit another 2 Members who have at least 3 seasons continuous membership to join the committee and put forward fresh ideas at future committee meetings, and to assist on matchdays. All interested Members, can contact Myself, Niki, Steve Massey, or Andy Massey.

Here's hoping we have another successful season
