If you remember?
Thousands of Liverpool fans voted with their feet in protest at ticket prices as Anfield witnessed its first walkout in its 132-year history.
Supporters’ groups organised the action for the 77th minute of the match against Sunderland after a £77 match ticket (up from £59) and a £1,000 season ticket for next season were announced this week.
The club FSG) argued the new structure - which includes 45% of match tickets decreasing in price, 64% of season tickets being reduced or staying the same in cost, better availability for local fans and around 1,500 £9 tickets for category C games – offers greater accessibility and affordability.
However, that was not enough to placate fans’ groups as upwards of an estimated 10,000 of the 44,179 inside the stadium got up and left their seats in the 77th minute, with long queues forming for the exit.

Good luck to any new owner wanting to increase season ticket and match ticket prices to increase matchday revenue. Not a chance wll that happen with the Cult.
And don’t forget, there is little on no future scope for increasing hospitality at Anfield once the Anfield Road stand is done.
Compare that to what City have done at the Etihad by increasing the hospitality and corporate massively. At times to to the detriment of our fans.
