[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

In the season FSG acquired Liverpool, (2010/11) matchday revenue was £40.9m. Last season it was £115.6m, an increase of 183%.

Matchday revenue is average attendance x number of matches x average price. Fans have to pay VAT of 20% on top of the revenue earned by the Club too.

Taking this into account, the price paid by a fan have increased from £42.44 to £82.11, which is 93.5% during the time that CPI has increased by 49.6%.

Part of this will be due to an increase in the proportion of tickets sold to corporate/hospitality/member fans, but even so, is there justification in the increases in ticket prices to STH?

Liverpool's success in attracting fans from all over the world is partly due to the vibrancy, the passion and the legend of the Kop (similar to the Stretford End, Kippax, Gallowgate, Clock End etc at other clubs historically) and current owners FSG have benefited from that.
They are standing on the shoulders of giants, but they seem to see those fans as a historical inconvenience and now want those fans to either pay up or move on.

This isn’t about my ticket, or whether you can afford it now as it’s ‘only £x’ or because you’d pay it if you could get a ticket.

I can afford it. But many in this city and beyond can’t.

The question I ask though is what my kids will have to pay when they’re an adult and going

[Ian Doyle @IanDoyleSport]

About 80-85% of the #LFC fans hold up yellow cards to protest against the planned ticket price increases. Can't see the Main Stand behind to know how many are doing it there. But most of them I can see have done. Chants of "You greedy bastards, enough is enough". The protest then ends with huge chants for the team

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]

The chant: ‘You greedy bastards, enough is enough,’ goes around Anfield as tens of thousands of supporters hold up yellow cards in protest at ticket price increases.

[Jay McKenna @JayMcKenna87]

What a difference a month makes. A strong message from those who usually provide the colour and visuals pre-match to withhold

The support that makes Anfield unique shouldn’t be taken for granted.

No to multiyear ticket price increases

My thoughts on the Mohamed Salah saga.

Mo Salah and Jordan Henderson: Forgotten Wisdom?

Let me know what you think, and share it if you like it (or if you absolutely hate it).

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.

If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.

If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.

Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb.

He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time.

When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.

Cancelled events, people cancelling trips to Liverpool, businesses questioning whether to invest in Liverpool, bars and restaurants feeling the impact of quieter venues, all the national and international good will achieved with the likes of Eurovision, Queen Anne etc.... GONE! Well done to the totally useless shitbags 'taking their country back' You are that thick you have no idea what harm you have caused to this city... the community and the businesses - totally shameful
