As one thought a while back when ShareLFC was announced, an amateur football club has been setup and officially launched last week called AFC Liverpool by a dedicated group of fans.

The 10-strong group of fans led by Alun Parry of Wavertree, insist it is not an alternative to Liverpool FC but is a team that LFC fans can support together without it costing the earth each week.

“LFC is one of the most sensitive clubs when it comes to ticket prices but it’s still close to £40 to watch a match.

“AFC Liverpool is for those passionate Liverpool fans to once again watch football together, singing the same songs, wearing the same colours, and alongside the same people – without it costing a fortune.” said Parry.

They have setup a campaign called the ‘1K Campaign’ with which they hope to attract 1,000 Kopites to become founder members of the club and help gain sponsorships.
