LFC IS LISTENING

Whether you're a season ticket holder from Anfield, someone who can only make it to a few games a year or even a fan from abroad whose only interaction with the club is through this website, it's your opinions that the Customer Experience Department want to hear and lots of improvements have already been made based on your feedback and suggestions.
