I think the support Liverpool will receive will be massive, despite them having never visited. It recent years, the team and visited Singapore twice and Thailand once back when Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Redknapp were still in the side. During these visits, there were a fair amount of Malaysian fans that made the trek. I'll bet my bottom dollar that this time round, you'll see an influx of fans from our two neighbouring countries. The Singapore Liverpool's Supporters Club and the East of Anfield Supporters Club are probably already planning for it. The turnout in 2009 when Liverpool visited Singapore was massive with plenty of "Alonso, please stay" banners, amongst a sea of other banners. Reminded me a little of Istanbul. Some friends of mine went during the previous visit to Singapore. They found out where the team was staying and camped there. Went to the bar and found Sammy Lee, Phil Thompson and some of the other coaching staff having drinks. They chatted and took some photos. They went back again the next day after the game and the whole team plus players were having a party. My friends tried to go in but was told by the manager that it was a closed party. Thankfully, Sammy Lee recognised them from the night before and told the manager to let them in. What a top bloke. It's why I like that he's back in the fold. The gesture was very Shanklyesque. No doubt a tradition that has been passed down by the great man.
I'm amped and I'm expecting a big turnout. Demographically, Liverpool fans are generally older and I can only imagine how long they've been waiting to watch the team play in the flesh. I'm sure the LSCM will work together with the official club in Singapore (or maybe not) but MyRAWK will endevour to further enrichen our ties with the East of Anfield Supporters Club in Singapore by jointly organising ticket purchases so everyone can sit together. Pretty sure the Liverbirds guys from JB will stop at nothing to make the journey up. They also have members in Kuantan and Kedah. Mad fellas drove 3 hrs up from JB for the Masters and left right after. That's a lot of travelling.
I doubt ticket prices will be released too early as the clubs are still working on securing sponsors.

MU have came over quite a number of times already but I haven't been to any yet. I just don't know who to support
