By boycotting food, drink, and merchandise within Anfield, fans hope to impact the club's matchday revenue to demonstrate that their loyalty should not be taken advantage of.
Liverpool fan organisation Spion Kop 1906 have also announced that their group's flags will no longer be present at Anfield in a response to the ticket prices.Supporter guidance: Protesters are also being urged to delay their season ticket renewals until the very last moment. Supporters argue that for a club posting record revenues of over £900million, these added costs place an unnecessary financial strain on local fans.Liverpool ownership: Fenway Sports Group, the club's Boston-based owners, are the direct focus of supporter anger.
The union believes those making decisions in the United States are out of touch with the economic hardships faced by the local Liverpool community.Previous success: Supporters are taking inspiration from a successful 2016 protest in which a mass walkout forced a dramatic U-turn on ticket pricing. They are hopeful that by demonstrating a similar level of solidarity on Saturday, the current club hierarchy will be compelled to reconsider their multi-year pricing strategy.READ THE FULL STORY ON LIVERPOOL'S PLANNED TICKET PROTESTS: Liverpool fans announce Anfield protests after concerns ignored - 'We will make them listen'Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ with Ultimate TV packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
