History
Founded as one of the first clubs in Slokais in 1898, New Liverpool FC helped establish the Association Cup in 1905. From the founding of Northrock United in 1918, the two clubs have been rivals. The initiating incident was in 1929 when the wealthy Northrock bought the stadium rights from New Liverpool to play at the Goodhope Road Stadium, where New Liverpool has been playing since 1902. To this day, Northrock fans have the chant "We bought the Blues in 29', Your club is just fine, We will keep raising the Northrock Pine". In 1954, New Liverpool was forced to shut down by order of Juan Costa and replaced by the New Liverpool Police FC. After the Great War, New Liverpool was reborn in 1972. The team moved into the newly built New Liverpool Stadium sharing the ground with the Slokasian National Team.
