Kesey - this one's for you and everyone who wants justice for the 96
It seemed only appropriate that the song that inspired this banner get an airing at Anfield. Whom better to ask than George himself?

Hi George
I am but a humble Liverpool fan looking to ask you for a small favour. No doubt your playlist is already set and ticking for tomorrows match against Anzhi as well as all the tracks in between.
The reason for the favour Tomorrow night this banner will be unveiled on the Kop for the first time.
The history behind it can be seen here
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=298338.0 and it would be extremely fitting if you could play Fearless by Pink Floyd which inspired the wording?
I thought long and hard in regards to what I should say in this mail to plead a case but the words of the song and everything that has come out over the last 6 weeks, especially this week in parliament, cannot be given justice by my mere mortal words. What could I possibly add to that which has been so eloquently stated by our own?
If it is not possible I know already that you would have tried. Having heard you for over 15 years now any true Red knows the service you provide as the voice of Anfield is a valuable one.
Warmest regards and thanks for the consideration of this request
Harinder
