#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.
