The birth of City of Liverpool FC
As part of a series looking at some of the most significant moments in City of Liverpool FC history, James Nalton goes back to the early meetings which shaped the club as we know it today
THE idea for a supporter-owned club within the city of Liverpool dates back to 2008, although the socialist principles on which City of Liverpool FC is built go back much further.
In the six years that followed, before plans became concrete, casual discussions were taking place forming an ideology for a football club which, at the time of those chats, might have seemed like little more than theory.
But when these theories are so ingrained in a particular area and among the people in it, with hard work and perseverance these ideas can be turned into actions, and theories into practice.
