Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken out on the protests planned regarding ticket prices at Anfield. The club recently announced a 2% increase in the cost of season tickets and members’ tickets for the next season.
In response to this decision, fan group Spion Kop 1906 expressed their disappointment and announced that they will be protesting by not flying any flags on The Kop for Thursday night’s game. However, they will be displaying Hillsborough flags to pay tribute to the 97 who tragically lost their lives at a league match.
Spion Kop 1906 emphasized that this decision was made after consulting with other fan groups, and that the supporters have a clear message: No to ticket price increases. The Spirit of Shankly Supporters Union reported that 92% of its members voted in favor of the protest.
Klopp, during his pre-match news conference before Liverpool’s Europa League quarter-final against Atalanta, acknowledged the importance of maintaining a strong connection between the club and its supporters. He urged for discussions to take place and expressed confidence that a solution could be found before Saturday’s meeting. Klopp emphasized the need for unity and shared goals between the club and its fanbase.
