'Share Liverpool FC' encouraged by fans response

The first statistics indicating the level of response to the shareliverpoolfc.co.uk website which outlines the Group’s proposals for 100,000 fans to buy LFC by purchasing a single GBP 5,000 share each were released today.

The website crashed within minutes of opening last Thursday, due to the sheer weight of numbers trying to reach the site, and re-opened the next day, in late afternoon. The Google analytic stats reveal that, between Friday, 1st Feb and Monday, 4th: Just under 50,000 unique visits to the site from 149 countries, The four biggest countries of origin were: UK (25,177); Norway (6,138); USA (3,071) and Ireland (2,053), ‘Count me in’ responses: 11,892, ‘Great idea – need more information’ responses: 5,394, ‘Great idea – but I can’t afford the £5,0000 responses: 7,930, Only 128 fans indicated: ‘You’ve got no chance’.

‘Share Liverpool FC’ spokesperson, Rogan Taylor said: “These are pretty impressive numbers for just a few days with www.shareliverpoolfc.co.uk live on line and we’re very encouraged. We undoubtedly lost a big spike when the site crashed on Thursday, but I think these numbers reveal that most fans were patient and came back when it returned.”

“The stats also reveal we have a lot of work to do to present more detailed information, and also to address the ‘affordability’ issue that many fans flagged up. We will be underlining that ‘group membership’ will be possible – even a group of pub regulars could get together – and we hope soon to be able to announce a loan scheme which would enable fans to spread the cost over a number of years.”
