Liverpool fans stage Anfield ticket price protest during Hull City match Supporters waved black flags and put up huge banners  Liverpool fans protest with banners about ticket prices Liverpool FC fans staged a protest against ticket prices during the match against Hull City. Supporters held a giant banner emblazoned with the words “£NOUGH IS £NOUGH” and black flags were flown. Jay McKenna, chairman of the Spirit of Shankly fans’ group, said: “We did this as a symbolic protest against ticket prices. There is growing anger over this. “A lot of people just can’t afford to go to football matches any more. “A lot of them aren’t even people with kids and mortgages to pay, even people with few responsibilities are finding they can no longer justify spending £50. “There is too much else to pay for in life at the moment and people are having to cut back.”  A recent study found football ticket prices have gone up at nearly twice the rate of inflation over the past three years. Flags and banners flown at Anfield during the Hull game bore phrases such as “supporters not customers” and “football without fans is nothing”. In August thousands of football fans from across the county marched on the Premier League headquarters in London to demand action to stem ticket price rises. And last month Spirit of Shankly and Blue Union members demonstrated outside Barclays bank in Liverpool city centre. The bank sponsors the Premiership. Source: Echo |

100% agree with them for once so good on them. Too many fans paying for the luxuries of the rich players and in the north west we can't afford it any more.

Is right.  We're tired of footing the bill and paying through the nose. It's time prices came down. |
