'God Save The King' was met with loud boos from Liverpool fans in Anfield after being played ahead of kick-off
In a statement released on Friday, Liverpool acknowledged that “some supporters have strong views on it” and that much was evident as even the PA announcement that the anthem would be played was met with boos.
Relations between the city and the establishment grew worse in the 1980s when Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was advised to initiate a “managed decline” of the city following the Toxteth Riots in 1981 and Liverpool fans were blamed by police for causing the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989.
