Saturday, February 11 – 1905
As we announced a week ago active steps are being taken to place the Liverpool Football Club on a popular basis, and the followers of the club are to be invited to take a financial interest in its welfare. The trend of events in the present day has made this course imperative, as football has become essentially a people’s sport, and the people want to have a voice in its management.
The present chairman (Mr. Edwin Berry, C.C.) and his co-directors have long seen the wisdom of this, but certain legal formalities had to be complied with before this course could be adopted.
Now they are in a position to announce that a public meeting will be held on Wednesday February 22, in the Picton Hall or some other such convenient and commodious a place, when the whole position of the Company, and the proposals for the future, will be laid before the public.
The admission will be by ticket, which may be obtained from Mr. Tom Watson, secretary of the club; Mr. C.W. Bullock, Lime Street; Mr. Frank Sugg, Lord Street; and Mr. J. Sharp, Whitechapel.
At the meeting, application form for shares may be had, but if anyone is desirous of obtaining these beforehand, they may, like the tickets, be had from Mr. Tom Watson, Mr. C.W. Bullock, Mr. J. Sharp or Mr. Frank Sugg.
That the Liverpool Football Club possesses enough supporters to justify the above I am certain, and I look forward to a full and harmonious meeting on the 22nd inst.
See next week’s programme for full particulars of Public Meeting.
