imprisoned in Bulgaria. Michael has exhausted all the routes open to him
via the Bulgarian justice system and the only hope he has of overturning
his conviction is via an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
In the meantime the priority is to get Michael back to England, to do
this Michael's family have to raise money to pay the largest fine in
Bulgarian history. Obviously as an ordinairy working class family
they're struggling to do this. To help them Councillor Joe Anderson has
launched the 'Bring him home' appeal fund. The details are below:

LFC have kindly allowed Michael's supporters to collect money from
Liverpool fans at the West Ham game. We NEED at least 60 volunteers to make this happen. Hopefully, this will be run with near military style precision. The volunteers are needed to collect cash INSIDE Anfield on Sat. 26th (West Ham - 12:45pm kick off).
Please be aware that you'll miss most of the first half (if not all of
it) and you will have to be INSIDE the ground at around 11am/11.30am -
so you won't be on the ale. E-mail jsmack77@hotmail.com if you'd like to help out.
Also, there's a benefit night for Michael on the 25th August at the
Devonshire Hotel on Edge Lane. There'll be live music including Neville
Skelly, raffles, prize draws, LFC memorabilia etc. It starts at 8pm
