We want your Anfield playlists
How would you like to play your part in shaping the pre-match and half-time atmosphere at Anfield and, in turn, help inspire the players before kick-off and the second half at every game this season?
Well, having listened to match day feedback from supporters, the club are this season asking fans to submit their match day playlists to be played inside Anfield before 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and immediately prior to the teams emerging for the second half.
No city in the UK is as synonymous with pop music as Liverpool and even as a club, with match-going musicians regularly attending games and the Kop playing their own part, the link between the music and football worlds has always been there. This new initiative aims to build on that link and actually hand over the decision on what should played to the supporters themselves.
Starting with the Sunderland game on Saturday, we want you to submit the following for George Sephton to play:
Playlist One
Fans to submit three songs to be played back-to-back immediately before the Barclays Premier League anthem, which is then followed by YNWA. The fan whose playlist is selected will be name-checked by George before the playlist starts in the ground and also identified in a news story on this website.
Playlist Two
Fans to submit two songs to be played back-to-back immediately before the teams come out for the second half. (The time available here will be determined by any half-time activity - and may result in only one song being played on occasion.)
You can submit a playlist by emailing playlists@liverpoolfc.tv, posting it on twitter with the #anfieldplaylist, leaving it as a comment at the bottom of this story or on our official Liverpool FC Facebook page.
With Liverpool supporters well known for their love of music and football, we want you to feel as involved as you possibly can be in shaping your own match day experience inside the ground.
The deadline for all playlists to be submitted for the Sunderland game is 11am on Thursday August 11. Once all the playlists are in, two shortlists - one for the three-track playlist and one for the two-track playlist - will be drawn up by an LFC club panel and put to a public vote on this website.
Meanwhile, Liverpool FC will be honouring George Sephton on Saturday as the stadium announcer celebrates 40 years at Anfield.
