A petition has been started to relocate Liverpool’s anticipated Premier League trophy parade to London.

An online petition has surfaced proposing that Liverpool relocate any potential title parade at the end of the season to London.

After their 2-0 victory over Newcastle United last week, Liverpool moved a step closer to securing the Premier League title in Arne Slot’s debut season, extending their lead at the top to 13 points.

If they go on to win their 20th English top-flight title, the Reds are expected to celebrate with a traditional trophy parade through the streets of Liverpool. However, ahead of this possible celebration, a surprising petition has emerged online, urging the club to consider hosting the parade in London instead.

Following their domestic cup triumphs in the 2021/22 season, Liverpool held a victory parade in the city, attracting around 500,000 fans. However, one supporter from outside Liverpool has argued that restricting trophy parades to the city overlooks the club’s nationwide fanbase. As a result, they launched a petition advocating for a change—suggesting that, should Liverpool win the league, the celebration be moved to the capital.

The petition, created on Change.org by a user named ‘King Koppite,’ argues that many devoted Liverpool fans reside in London and southern England, making travel to the North costly and time-consuming. It states that moving the parade would not disregard Liverpool’s heritage but instead acknowledge the club’s vast national and global following.

It also cites statistics from BBC Radio 5 Live’s 2019 Football Fans Census, which reportedly found London to have the highest concentration of football supporters in England. The petition claims that relocating the parade would allow more fans to take part in the celebrations and create a more inclusive atmosphere.

Ultimately, there is speculation that the petition may have been started by a rival fan looking to poke fun at Liverpool’s success this season.
