Liverpool supporters’ group announces Anfield protests against ownership as start date revealed

Liverpool fans are set to launch a series of protests against the club's owners amid news that ticket prices at Anfield are set to increase in each of the next three seasons.

At the end of March, an official statement from the club revealed that they plan to increase ticket prices in line with inflation for each season from 2026/27 until 2028/29. The hikes mean that adult general admission tickets will rise by between £1.25 and £1.75 each season, and adult season tickets will rise by around £80 across the next three years.

A major Liverpool supporters group, Spirit of Shankly, have now confirmed that they are going to push back against these plans and are urging all Reds fans to take part. What's more, they have already informed the club that direct action is on the way.

Matchday protests at Anfield

Although Spirit of Shankly are yet to release specific details around the upcoming protests, they have confirmed that they plan to begin them at Anfield when Liverpool take on Fulham on Saturday, 11 April.

From there onwards, the plan is to have protests at every Liverpool match until the end of the season, including away matches and European fixtures.

As a starting point, the supporters group has asked fans to refrain from purchasing programmes, food and drink inside Anfield and have urged them to spend their money at local establishments around Anfield instead.

Spirit of Shankly have also backed calls for season ticket holders to delay their renewals until the last possible moment, although given Liverpool have an extensive season ticket waiting list, this may be futile.

As part of this announcement, the group spoke directly to fellow Liverpool fans, saying:

“If you care about this issue, you need to be part of it. Turn up. Join in. Back it. Encourage others to take part. This only works if enough of us make it work.”

FGG says: A cause worth fighting for

Some football fans will take a tribal approach here and suggest that Liverpool supporters are only protesting because their club are having a bad season on the pitch. However, that is going to get us (match-going football fans) nowhere. This is a fight we should all support, so here's hoping Liverpool fans secure the outcome they are after.
