'Liverpool rivalry without hate' - Fans behind Nottingham Forest banner at Anfield hope to end tragedy chanting

One of the organisers of the Nottingham Forest banner calling for the end of tragedy chanting hopes to educate fans about the personal implications in order to end the problem.

A 30ft banner will be held aloft in the away end at Anfield on Saturday when Liverpool host Steve Cooper's side, calling for the end of tragedy chanting following a spike of abuse from the terraces aimed at Reds fans following the events of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

It will read "Respect the 97" with Forest’s club badge in one corner and the Hillsborough memorial symbol in the other along with the words, "Solidarity with Survivors. No to Tragedy Chanting". The idea has been orchestrated by a group of fans, originating from the City Ground, under the Twitter account @NoHateChants.
