Hundreds of Liverpool fans united to protest at Anfield against the club's American owners.
They gathered on Walton Breck Road outside the Kop yesterday in another message of opposition to Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Banners saying Yanks OUT and Repossessed were pinned on railings around the ground.
A padlock was fastened to the Shankly Gates in a symbolic gesture to signify their unhappiness with the current regime.
The SOS fans group also planned to lobby supporters visiting the club shop about the protest.
Alan Kayll, from Spirit of Shankly, said: “When David Moores sold the club, he did so to allow the club to compete for the very best players and simultaneously build the stadium.
“The stadium finances are nowhere near being secured and we cannot compete for top quality now or have any great prospects for the future.
“Selling the family silver to Hicks and Gillett has proven to be a massive mistake, and every Liverpool supporter has to act and campaign against what is happening to our club.”
Red Francis Stanton added: “Our repossession is about the rightful owners of the club claiming it back from the "tenants".
“Why can the club not afford to bid for 17-year-old prospects even when the manager wants them? We have paid the rent for our custodians long enough. It’s time for an eviction.”
The ownership of Liverpool remains in the balance with American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett at loggerheads.
The Dubai-based consortium DIC has shown interest buying the club, but Hicks has repeatedly stated his intention of keeping hold of his 50% share.
