THOUSANDS of Reds fans took part in a protest march against the club’s owners ahead of yesterday's big match at Anfield.
The march was organised by the Spirit of Shankly group with several thousand fans turning out to take part ahead of the clash with Manchester United.
The crowd marched from the Liverpool Supporters’ Club, Lower Breck Road, up to Anfield, in a show of strength against owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Hicks, who has outraged fans consistently ever since he tried to line up a replacement for boss Rafa Benitez, was in the crowd for the game - the first time he has been at a match at Anfield this season.
And a Spirit of Shankly statement added: "What we need on Saturday is two resounding victories. Firstly, a march on a massive scale that tells the world that Liverpool has had enough of Gillett and Hicks.
"A march of passion, a march of anger, a march of Red solidarity that roars its message loud and proud: 'enough is enough, go now.'
"This is the biggest club game in football and the world will be watching. Our second victory on Saturday comes when we take all that passion and pride inside the ground."
Liverpool won the game against United 2-1, with substitute Ryan Babel scoring the winner in the second half.
