@FTFonFS1@getnickwright So all the kids that have paid to play, been driven all over the country to play on travel teams see this and are supposed to be inspired? 🤷🏻♀️
@FTFonFS1@getnickwright MLS needs promotion/relegation
Aging European players come to play here in for a payday, that’s a joke Pay to play needs addressing, and with a population of 340 million, shouldn’t be relying on a birthright citizen as their “best player”.
Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans said “no” to multi-year ticket price rises with a stunning visual protest at this weekend’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace. Their message couldn't be clearer.

Can everyone share and get behind this letter to @John_W_Henry now?
Yesterday showed this isn’t “some fans”. That was Anfield.
If you backed it, add your name and share.
The more people who do, the harder this is to ignore.

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.

Would love to know why @BBCMOTD didn’t deem the highly-visible ticket price protests worthy of the Liverpool vs. Palace highlights.
One of the game’s main talking points as 50,000 fans visibly and audibly protest, not for the first time, and it is not even given a mention.
Well a lot of people took part in that.
A big thank you to every single supporter who helped give out the cards and those who took them and held them up.
It was great to see supporters making themselves seen and heard. I hope LFC are listening
“Some fans” - is that right Billy?
Thanks for everyones support today. It really is appreciated. Today has shown the majority are against multi year price increases.
Balls in your court @LFC
