On
January 6, 2007, Reclaim the Kop organised a protest during the third
round FA Cup
match between
Liverpool and Arsenal,
On
the day of the protest 12,000 fans in the Kop were given cards to hold
up,
forming a mosaic
spelling
out the words "The Truth". The mosaic was visible while Liverpool
supporters chanted "Justice for the 96" for six minutes, signifying
the length of time that the Hillsborough game played on for before
being
abandoned. In addition to being visible during the BBC's transmission
of the
match, the protest was widely reported in national newspapers.
The Reclaim The Kop group were responsible for the demonstration in support of the club manager, Rafa Benitez, in November 2007. The demonstration is widely regarded as being a huge success. . Massive tv and newspaper coverage saw images of several thousand fans parading round the streets of Anfield in support of their manager, and in protest against the unpopular regime of then club owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. The march and demo is featured in the film Reclaim The Kop are currently engaged in expanding the so-called '306 section' at the rear of the Spion Kop at Anfield. Several hundred supporters - the RTK and likeminded fans - relocated their season (like my self) tickets to this block in the famous Kop in the summer of 2007. It was so that fans who shared the same ideas and wanted to help promote the Kop's traditions could sit (or stand) together. It resulted in an improvement in both the volume, and the quality, of the vocal support from The Kop. Several old songs have made their reappearance amongst.
