Do they really frown upon us going to Melwood? that sucks ass - they should want that, I have heard that Real get about 3000 fans to their sessions! I also heard they charge entrance for this - yes its a media scrum sometimes, but still...
With regards to the players not doing an interview - surely the local boys would? If not lets start by highlighting the youth players, ressies? If we ran an award for them it would highlight these guys, create more of a profile for the players and blood them with the press?! Would that work?
I know in years gone by, fans were allowed at Melwood because me cousin Dawn used to go down there because she fancied the kecks off Redknapp. We always used to get her to get some of our stuff off some of the other players - got Fowler/Ruddock/Rush signatures because of it. So that's how far back we're talking, but now I'm sure that fans aren't allowed into Melwood while training is on going.
I think the youth level could work more than the first team. And it would boost the profile of the said youngster. Maybe that's where to start.
But if were the originators and the first to do it, it will add credence to the actual award. Plus if were the first, then they dont have to accept it from other sites. They would then say.. "another site has an award" etc...Maybe they accept maybe not, but what if we dont do it and another site does it and it becomes one of those internet originals. Who knows if its going to work or if LFC accept it, but it doesnt hurt to try.
Their must be someone on this site who has a connection to someone at the club. If not then I'll contact them and make a pitch to them. If the forum supports it, I'll buy the plaque and get it engraved. Whats the worst that can happen? What are they going to do? They will say yes or no. Especially now with new owners who more than likely want to make a good impression for the supporters, who in all honesty are probably looking to mend fences with the supporter base who had to deal with the sh*t of the past 12 months.
Fair enough, it doesn't hurt to try. And if we're really that keen to get the project up and running we do what Andy does in The Shawshank Redemption and write a letter a week until they accept. And again fair enough, the club can only say yes or no. Sure it's worth a go and I'll happily support the idea but in my heart of hearts I don't think it'll get off the ground.
Not because it's a bad idea, because it isn't. It's in fact a pretty good idea. But I have my reservations because of how Liverpool Football Club treats it's fans. Maybe with new owners it'll be different but I doubt it.
