All out on 77 minutes

[VladimirIlyich]

Sorry, but this smacks of self-serving indulgent crap to me.

 

Hades may be a walking communist cliche, but his point in the other thread about low earners having been priced out of attending football matches for more than a decade is spot on.

 

However now that it's hitting the middle class fan, concern about affordability is suddenly a thing that demands direct action? Okay then.

Just like the economy since the coalition.

I was priced out years ago but fully support any effort by fans to make a statement.

I'd go for a 90 minute boycott (like the players most weeks!) but from small acorns large oaks grow,etc.

[Soleilrouge]

I don't agree with this protest

[TSC]

Meanwhile elsewhere.....

 

• Rich Premier League clubs can't agree on way forward to help away fans
• Clubs spent more time debating issue than any other at London meeting
• Big clubs vote against proposal to cap tickets for away fans at £30
• Norwich chairman and former Chancellor Ed Balls present at summit

The richest league in the world received confirmation of their extraordinary £8billion-plus haul from TV rights on Thursday, yet couldn’t agree the way forward to help away fans.

The 20 Premier League clubs, despite being awash with money over the next three seasons (£5.1bn domestic and £3bn overseas), spent more time debating the issue of assisting travelling supporters than any other item on the agenda during a five-and-a-half-hour meeting in London.

The big clubs, as usual, were against the sensible proposal to cap away tickets at £30, although Everton spoke loudly in favour.

 

In a secret ballot, seven or eight clubs are understood to have opposed the capping — those led by greedy Arsenal who charge away supporters the most — leaving the Premier League short of the 14-club majority needed to make such changes.

The proposal will be back on the table at the March meeting after clubs voted heavily against the compromise of a funding arrangement where clubs would get money to help travelling supporters which they could use in varied ways.

Cunts.

[dennis tooth]

I thinks its an ace suggestion from dave u that the supporters wank off in the 77th minute I am fully behind this, may as well vent our displeasure AND get our moneysworth

[The Acolyte]

I dont know, you may miss an exciting substitution.

This is a great idea, hope it gets a lot of press. Hopefully it's repeated for the one game the owners make it over here for.

When was the last time that shower attended a match?

[Dr Nowt]

Bet traditional early darters, who've had to stay rooted to their seats since Klopp shamed them, will be rubbing their hands together while leaving under the camouflage of protest.

No, they will have to leave on 70 minutes in case they get held up in any kind of delay caused by a lot of fans leaving early. 

[dickie mint]

When the bubble bursts and it will hope the fans don't forget what the greedy horrible fuckers have done.

[Paulie Dangerously]

I support dave u Wanking FC, not Liverpool FC

[Russ Atmosphere]

So I know when to turn off my stream because some confusion here, am I turning it off and walking out of my living room in the 77th minute, on 76:01, or on 77 minutes on the clock?

If you leave on 78mins you'll look a right tool..

 

Maybe people should walk out on the minute that they see, in monetary terms, as being a fair price. I make that £8.32 with the current squad

 

Someone better tell Danny Murphy. If he's commentating he will no doubt not have got wind of it and will launch into a dull tone speech of how it never happened in his day and people "stayed until the end"

 

As for Lawro, he'll do his best to insult everyone's intelligence with a witty quip about the price of the sausage rolls

[Paulie Dangerously]

If my stream is behind and I am clapping my tablet and before I know it it's 78mins on the clock (80+ mins in reality) am I a personally an FSG bummer?

[stringvest]

I'm not there tomorrow but if I was I would take part in the protest.  

[Stickman]

Ironically 77 minutes is the amount of time Sturridge has been on the pitch this season so good to see Daniel has been doing his part

[elBooth]

There's three of us and we'll all be heading out.  During the H&G protests there was always people who said "it won't change anything" and "just support the team" but we all know how that turned out in the end.  With belief and solidarity we can achieve anything.

[kalasoma]

Would be amazing if our players kicked the ball out at the same time and walked off the pitch. Albeit unrealistic, but showing solidarity with the fans, for once, would be welcome.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Watch us be 6 nil up playing supreme football.

Is right.

Klopp in 2012 at Dortmund, Fsg, Ayre and Co will hope he doesn't say something similar.

 

With Liverpool supporters set to protest the club’s unjust ticket price hike in Saturday’s clash with Sunderland, Jurgen Klopp will see history repeat itself.

 

 

Liverpool supporters are urged to leave their seats on the 77th minute at Anfield on Saturday, in protest of the club’s ticket price increase from 2016/17, with some tickets valued at £77.

 

Reacting to news of the club’s adjusted price structure, supporters group Spion Kop 1906 labelled this as “the first stage of many planned protests against the club.”

 

That Fenway Sports Group are looking to profit even further from supporters just months after appointing Jurgen Klopp, a manager who has strived to foster a belief within the fanbase, is remarkable.

 

This further separates the club and its supporters, and unfortunately, Klopp and his players find themselves caught in the middle.

 

For Klopp, this is nothing new, as supporters at his former club, Borussia Dortmund, staged a similar protest to ticket pricing in 2012.

 

After joining supporters of other Bundesliga clubs in a walkout boycott in 2010, in reaction to prices breaching €20, the travelling Yellow Wall followed suit in 2012 during Dortmund’s away clash with Hamburg, whose cheapest seats were priced at €40.

 

While ticket prices in the Bundesliga are relatively cheap compared to the parasitic, consumer-driven Premier League, this proved to be an effective protest.

 

 

Supporting this standpoint back in 2012, Klopp described supporters’ movements as an “echo of thunder.”

 

“That’s going to be like an echo of thunder. There will be no winners. When the away terracing is filled, it can get very loud,” he said.

 

The former Mainz manager also explained how he could “really understand the protest,” calling for a compromise when it comes to pricing.

 

“Who knows what these people endure to be here and support us in the stadium?

 

“If then 1,000 fans leave the stadium, I guess their concerns are quite big.

 

“We all have to be careful, that’s clear, not to make things worse, there have to be talks.

 

“Either [the talks] were of no avail or have not taken place up to now. I can really understand the protest.”

 

Klopp has proven himself to be hugely sympathetic to the struggles of the modern football supporter both on and off the field, and coming months after his move to Merseyside, this will come as a huge disappointment.

 

 

Without fans, there is no football, and Klopp is well aware of this. Sadly, FSG are not

Klopp's press conference finished. No journalist asked him about planned ticket protest. Did ask lots on Teixeira and Allardyce though.

[ZonkoVille77]

For this to be really effective you'd need the whole place bouncing, everyone signing and chanting and a load of shouts for Klopp for the full 77 minutes and then total or near total silence (mind you it's like that most days now) at the walk out. Not going to happen.

I think that if Klopp doesn't speak out in favour of the fans, that he's one big piece of chicken shit.
