      Mass support for Rafa on Wednesday!
      Nov 25, 2007 11:26:02 pm
      Important Link: http://www.anfield-online.co.uk/lfc-news/2007/11/28/rafa-day-begins-your-support-needed/



      Spread the word - Show your support for Rafa on Wednesday!

      There is a show of support for Rafael Benitez at the Porto game on Wednesday, starting at the Sandon at 7pm.

      Originally an idea from someone on redandwhitekop.com , the idea is to get the message to as many people as possible who are going the game on Wednesday to show our support for Rafa after all the recent crap regarding Benitez, Gillett and Hicks.

      Meet at the Sandon pub at 7pm, or if you cant be at the pub in time, make your voice heard in or outside Anfield!

      Please remember to pass the message on, on any other LFC site you go on too.

      Take your Rafa banners - or get some made - and take your singing voices.

      Get in the ground early and make enough noise supporting the boss to travel all the way over the Atlantic.

      We all know the drill.

      Im  making a banner, but I cant really think of anything to put on it besides

      "Rafa is the gafa Mr Hicks and remember we buy the tickets"

      Anyone got any more ideas as Im hungover this morning and have got 2 days with nothing to do so someone inspire me with something good!
      I will put LFCreds.com at the bottom or something.

      I'm wary that this could backfire. We don't know all the details of what's going on and we don't want to make it look like we are against the Chairmen, or do we?

      I dunno, we should just get on with supporting the players on the pitch come Wednesday and leave boardroom battles in the boardroom.

      Noones against the chairman, what they have to relize is that we are behind the manager, and we buy the tickets. Hicks is all for one letting every1 know whos the boss, so lets let him know who the bosses really are shall we!! Or am I being too pretentious here??

      Think it might be 'Focussing on supporting our manager'.

      Can't remember Rafa's words exactly that he used but love the play on words.

      Problem is - it's just going to rile the American's even more - reminding them that he took the piss out of what they told him.

      Good point that. But seeing as they don't know much about football will they even be watching the game or just waiting for the result?....

      Great banner. I'd change 'Manager' to 'Rafa' though. He is our Rafa and we want to keep him.

      just a quick thought, as supporters we have a massive influx to what happens at LFC, surely by dampening specualtion after the newcastle game, G&H want our trust, by going on to fire rafa would blow all trust away?

      They haven't really dampened anything with that statement. They've basically said their opinions haven't changed and they'll still see Rafa on the 16th of December!

      This is why this massive support is going ahead, to let the owners know how highly regarded Rafa is to us!

      As Posted by RTK


      First off all, hats off to each and every one of you for the support shown towards our manager already. The planning, effort and preperation for tonight is unbelievable. We'll always have the banter between sections of the support, but when it really matters, we come together and stand as one. We're Liverpool.

      Tonight - There will be a few thousand flyers available in the HJC shop from 5pm onwards. We are appealing for anyone to pop along and pick up a big handful each and help hand them out around the area. A few lads going down to The Stanley and The King Harry, another few to The Solly and The Albert, others targetting The Park and The Sandon and so on. To make as many people aware as possible as to what is going on, incase they've been living in the land of nod for the past few days. There is also a version attached below in PDF format for you to print off and hand out on your way to the game and to anyone you see tonight. Using a catchphrase from across the park, "every little helps". Get printing off and get handing out. And anyone that can get to the HJC shop between 5pm and 6pm, please do so and help get them flyers out there.

      Download this flyer and print - Rafa_March_Flyer_Here

      Just print off and tear into two peices, giving a couple of A5 sizde flyer with each print. Simple.

      Get yourselves in and around The Sandon for half 6, and there'll be lads there ready to take the lead and let everyone know exactly what's going on. Lets make this special. A real show of red strength. It's been built up by the press already, now it's time for us to deliver. Our manager needs us.

      Let's leave any anti-American and anti-Rick Parry feelings to one side for tonight. No matter how you feel on the subject, lets leave that for another day and use tonight to show our passionate support for our manager. Our Club. Our Manager. Don't let anything dilute that. Just use tonight to march in support of our manager, the man that's brought us so many special nights, the man who's working towards bringing us more of those nights and the man that needs our backing more than ever. Lets show him how much he means to us. Starting with the march outside, then lets take that inside the ground and get Anfield rocking. It's down to us, all of us, to make that happen.

      Over to you...

      They showed it on SSN, looked like quite a few turned up.  I'm amazed they showed it actually  ;)

      The library atmosphere came back for a while in the middle of the game. Shades of Spurs...

      But Crouch coming on and then Torres' 2nd gave us a MASSIVE lift.

      Singing Rafa's name all night long, must of made the man feel really special... and he IS special. Rafa = the real deal.

      Definitley! Who else would do something like this? It went tremendously well! Create an atmosphere before we go in the match and carry it through! Loved hearing Rafa's name getting sang though! What a man he is!

      Excellent support from all at the game.

      Also a touch of class from the man himself. First thing in his interview was to thank the fans and dedicate the win for them. Nice one!!
