I'd love to read this article about cricket now being behind a paywall but...

It's behind a fucking paywall.

[JDF @JackFarmNew]

Now is the time to connect Eurostar to Northern England and Scotland! Can you imagine jumping on a train in Edinburgh / Manchester / Leeds / Sheffield / Liverpool and jumping off in Central Europe!

[MTZ @Tobeech]

Eurostar signs off direct London-Switzerland trains.

From 2030: St Pancras to Zurich in around 6 hours, no changes required.

Words cannot explain how much I hate Brexit.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

From Berlin to Barcelona by train.

Today cross-country journeys mean several bookings and risks if you miss a connection.

Let's change that.

With one ticket and full passenger rights all along your journey.

That‘s our new passenger package.

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.

[Spirit of Shankly @spiritofshankly]

Hi @John_W_Henry – are you sure asking supporters to pay more is the only way to improve @LFC’s books??

[Gareth Roberts @robbohuyton]

Just the lecky going up though.

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]

Liverpool supporters' union Spirit of Shankly has announced there will protests "inside and outside Anfield" over the club's planned ticket price increases - starting with next Saturday's home Premier League clash with Fulham.

At a time when so many supporters are struggling to heat their homes, put food on the table and keep up with the rent, the club I love has made a shameful decision to hike ticket prices over the next three years.

It’s staggering. It’s tone deaf from the billionaires who run our club in Boston.

The very people who play a huge part of making this club what it is, the famous 12th man, the beating heart of Liverpool are being priced out and pushed aside, all while their loyalty is used to sell ‘Brand Liverpool’ across the world.

LIverpool Football Club stripped of its working class support base is where this ends.

This greed from football clubs poses an existential threat to the game and the community that made the club what it is today.

Genuinely so fatiguing how every year it feels more and more difficult to go to the footie regularly. Supporters not customers. Pure greed from @LFC.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm it will increase general admission ticket prices limited to inflation for the next three seasons, while freezing junior and local general tickets at £9 each. 🔗 https://t.co/dQm6oWjhh5

@Lfcsalesinfo What do you think the chances are for people on +1?

[JDF @JackFarmNew]

@KayRehman2 @qrsupport 100%. I’m waiting until the official account responds.

[JDF @JackFarmNew]

@qrsupport I have tried every possible method of getting in touch with guys to track a refund. Please respond to my DM’s or can I please get some help with refund confirmation?

[JDF @JackFarmNew]

Very proud to have been a part of this. Fan activism at its finest and the ticket price was retracted in 24 hours as a result.

#England - On this day in 2016, Liverpool supporters carried out an unforgettable protest against industrialised football.

Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), had decided to restructure ticket prices after the completion of Anfield’s new Main Stand. Under the plan, the highest ticket price would rise from £59 to £77.

This figure was not chosen at random. For supporter groups, the £77 ticket became a symbol of the club treating fans as “customers” in its 125th anniversary year. During Liverpool’s match against Sunderland, fan organisations Spion Kop 1906 and Spirit of Shankly coordinated a mass walkout: around 15,000 supporters left the stadium in the 77th minute, chanting “Supporters, not customers.”

Liverpool were leading 2–0 when the protest began. As the stands emptied and the atmosphere turned flat, Sunderland fought back to make it 2–2. The protest caused such a huge backlash that the club’s board was forced to retreat within days.

In the decade that followed, Liverpool largely avoided raising ticket prices despite inflation, maintaining them until a symbolic 2% increase ahead of the 2024–25 season. In the aftermath, the club established an official Supporters Board, making it mandatory to consult fans on key strategic decisions such as ticket pricing.

The pressure created by this protest also played a major role in the Premier League introducing a £30 cap on away ticket prices across all clubs.
