Agreed Jay McKenna was spot on. Quick metion to the Police there as well who could have been arse holes about the amount of booze kicking about but let it slide, certainly where I was anyway. Glad the rain stayed off and glad I stayed til the end for a good sing the last half hour or so.

Difficult to tell how many were there standing where I was, but Id be suprised if there really was 8-10,000 as suggested above.

The bizzies were fine today, and a bit of booze, so long as people were behaving themselves was no problem.People were coming and going, for food, drink etc, some were just there curious too. 2000 or so at its peak seems about right to me, although probably double that came and went at different times.

Absolutely loved that today. Feel like we've really done ourselves proud as fans. All the speeches and songs were great and Neil and John were brilliant craic. Well done to everyone involved.
Got a couple of photos that I'll try and post up later. Spotted myself in a few that I've seen already.

Great day, really.

Jay Mckenna and Karen Gill were the best speakers for me. Not sure how many people turned up but it was more than I expected.

Thanks to all involved setting this up, it was worth flying from Italy for it.

Just back. Great Scouse solidarity, great craic. Proud of what SOS has achieved. But there is also the realisation that the "job" is going to have to get done by small groups, we are unlikely to become a mass movement now, and our plans need to be tailored accordingly.

I have added a bit for you  :)

Made up today so proud to be a red, couldn't see how many were there from where I was standing right at the front. The sun coming out threw the clouds when YNWA started playing left me with a little tear in the eye and more goosebumps than it normally gives me, great day thanks to everyone involved!

Absolutely brilliant that today, loved every minute of it.

Occasions such as that today hammer the point home even further, that we as Liverpool supporters are the best in the world.

So proud of everybody, S.O.S and all the lads who made this event the success it was. 

Edit: Quick mention for Neil Fitzmaurice, thought he was top-notch today also. Well in Neil!  :)

Was there with Mrs Macca and the three kids. Absolutely fucking brilliant to see, and I'm proud of everyone involved - except the c*nt who sang a Coldplay song. He might be a good red, but he's dead to me from now on!  :D  Has anybody seen the comments on The Echo site? Fucking gobshites criticising us all, and they weren't even there. Terry De Niro is a fucking saint and if anyone says anything bad about him, I'll fuck yer ok? I just knew Mrs Macca would start crying at some time today, and it was when we started singing Rafa's song - the fucking lightweight! I can't wait to see it in the papers tomorrow. Tony Evans, Oli Kay and Brian Reade should do a good write up. The Daily Mail will probably go with "Drunken, Racist, Drug-Addled Benefit Cheats Waste Taxpayer's Money On Street Party."  Was anyone near the bird whose skirt fell off? That was me and my kids standing right next to her pissing ourselves.   ;D

There Was more there than i expected to be honest. the bizzies were sound there were only about 20-30 for a crowd of a few thousand.
Thought the MP spoke from the heart with some wit and Jay Mccenna was excellent. Need more ex players more Aldo's more big name fans onboard.
