Hi Guys,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Mike Hinden and I have lived in Liverpool all my life, I’m an out and out REDS fan and I have been a season ticket holder for about 50 yes 50 years (yes I’m an old f-rt) but with a very active mind as far as LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB is concerned LOL. I reckon I’m one of the very few people LUCKY people who have seen four out of our five European Champions Cup wins that we have. I attend all the games at Anfield with my adult son Justin and I have only missed one game (and that was Chavski in the CL game last April as I had done my knee in and could not walk) in the last 15 or so years, I go to all the Premiership, Champions League FA Cup and some not all the Caring Cup.
I recently returned from a holiday (vacation to you) in Israel where a met a Canadian guy call Mel Silverstone (he approach me on the beach as I was wearing at the time my LFC shirt) and we spent a few hours together having a drink or two or three of milk (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it LOL) talking about our REDS,.
I told him and I was the unofficial go between between our REDS supporters club around the world (South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and a few in the USA) and he asked do I correspond or have any Canadians in my list and when I said that I haven’t he suggested I should make contact and say what I do for RED fans all over the world, so I went into the clubs web site and got your email addresses so I hope that none of you all are offended with my liberty of sending you this email.
What I do voluntary is this wherever anyone wants to visit Liverpool to see a game either a group from the official branch or just a few days holiday trip by a couple or a few guys I arrange transport from and to Manchester (I don’t like saying that word LOL) airport as I have several taxi and mini coach firms that I have in my lists, I also arrange accommodation as I have a number of hotels /guest house etc all with different rates some even give me a slightly lower rate depending on what dates, I also take the guys around to show them all the Liverpool landmarks and if there are four or less I take them in my own car but if there are more I have a guy with a 7 seater who has very reasonable charges (or they were B4 the fuel prices went sky high) I also book them in for the stadium and museum tour (this is obviously a must for everyone). I have many POOL DVDs and videos and if time allows I invite any guys back to my home in Childwall which is in south Liverpool to watch whatever they choose and have lots of chats a few drinks and we get a take away meal and this offer is open to any of your own member’s and any of you as well if they want to make contact with me
I also on the odd occasion can get two tickets for home matches only but these get booked up by other guys from around the world in my footie list rather quickly. and finally after EVERY match both home and away I ALWAYS send my own completely unbiased match report, I don’t use any flannel if a player has a bad game I say that they have a bad game and if a player has an outstanding game I say that as well of course. Being in Liverpool we sometimes hear footy news B4 it reaches any web sites through the Liverpool Echo and Daily Post and also through our local radio station, generally when they have any LFC transfer it’s nearly always spot on.
News
So guys if you want to forward my this email on to your members and if they (and any of you of course) would like me to put any email addresses in my list OR if anyone is contemplating a trip to the Pool during this coming season and would like to meet up with a true SCOUSER or have any questions they only have to ask, if no one wants to then that’s OK too.
My best to you all.
