Email From LFC Concerning Abusive Chants

Dear Mal,
 
Thanks for your mail which a colleague at the Club forwarded to me. I’m the Community Manager at LFC’s Digital Media Dept.
 
Unfortunately I can’t be of help in regards to footage screened on Match of the Day and can only suggest writing to the BBC.  Certainly if any of this footage is posted on LFC websites we will remove it as soon as become aware of it. So reporting anything similar which you saw on The Kop for instance would be both useful and sincerely appreciated.
 
It’s difficult to advise you on how best to further your aims. Whilst media organizations and sports clubs have a role to play , ultimately it’s likely that the only people that could positively affect fan behaviour would be other fans. After the Hillsborough Disaster many of our own supporters made clear their distaste for songs which glorified in others death and tragedy. That happened through debate, argument and persuasion, so perhaps the independent fan sites may be one place to try to put this case?
Best Regards,

Matt
