According to the FC Koln website,
Liverpool will be playing a friendly at the RheinEnergieStadion
on July 16th at 8.15pm. This will replace the proposed friendly against
Hamburg which would have clashed with a German League Cup tie. The Cologne
match would celebrate the opening of the newly rebuilt/refurnished stadium
in time for the new season (looking at the photos on the website there
are still cranes everywhere!).

Another change in conditions for ST holders next season. Prioirity for
only the FIRST home game in any cup competition will exist (rather than
all rounds), after that tickets will be awarded on a loyalty basis i.e.
priority will be given to supporters who have attended fixtures from
a previous round or rounds of the relevant competition, irrespective
of them being a season ticket holder.

Season ticket renewals have started to arrive. The prices are:
Main/Centenary Stand before 18 June: £495 (£540 after)
Annie road: £475 (£520)
Kop: £445 (£490)
With respect to away games, a priority system for tickets will be
enforced next season based on how many away games you attended in the
2002-2003 season. Also priority for tickets for some away games next
season (we assume the Mancs and Everton) will be dependent on games
attended in 2003-2004.

checked this and have been told by the club that it will remain at a
ratio of 10,000 members and 5,000 tickets.

Latest news on the China tour - Rick Parry has spoken on the likelihood
if the tour going ahead in light of the SARS crisis:
"Obviously we are concerned about the problems that the SARS outbreak
has caused and we're monitoring the situation daily. We're not rushing
into making a decision but we'll have to make one by the middle of May
because we need some certainty. We are clearly not going to do anything
that will put any of the players at risk.
"We're due to be going to Hong Kong and China and at the moment
I would say the likelihood of going to China is very, very remote. The
chances of the outbreak being contained by July are unlikely and the
chances of even having proper information about the situation in China
by July are unlikely.
"It's too big a risk and we are thinking about alternatives. In
the next two or three weeks we'll make up our minds."
