A RED army is set to flock to London for what is being billed as the most important days in Liverpool FC history.
D-Day is expected next week when hundreds of supporters will descend on the High Court for the club’s critical ownership battle.
Liverpool are currently preparing a heavyweight legal case with solicitors Slaughter and May as they seek a declaratory judgement to formally seal the £300m Reds sale to New England Sports Ventures (NESV), owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
If Tom Hicks and George Gillett decide to attend the Royal Courts of Justice in person to oppose the move, the Americans have been promised a warm reception.
Liverpool fan groups said many of them were planning to line the streets of the Strand in the capital.
Today, James McKenna, spokesman for Spirit of Shankly, said there had already been interest among supporters in heading to London.
He told the ECHO: "People have started talking about heading down to London, particularly if Hicks and Gillett will be there. I do know supporters have been discussing making their presence known.
"There’s only one door in and one door out of the court, so it’s a good opportunity to make our feelings known."
Further scrutiny of New England Sports Ventures reveals they have made assurances no money will ever be taken from Liverpool FC and used to invest in the sports investment company back in Boston.
