How can FSG continue to stand over ticket price increases?

FSG have done plenty of good at Liverpool since their stewardship of the club began in autumn 2010, but they’ve also been guilty of some crass misjudgements, with the ticket price increases being their latest misstep.

Increased matchday operational costs at Anfield were cited as justification for the rise in ticket prices (liverpoolfc.com), but that reasoning seems even harder to stand over now that we know the owners’ net worth has extended over the past year.

While Henry and co enjoy even greater wealth, the loyal fans who follow the team on matchdays are left to pay even more to demonstrate their loyalty at a time when the cost of living in the UK is soaring.

How can FSG stand over that when they evidently had the financial wherewithal to cover that cost? If anything, they ought to have gone the other way with ticket prices and earned reputational brownie points from the fan base.

Huge credit is due to all Liverpool fans who’ve taken action to register their opposition to the ticket price increases – the fight must continue so that those in the boardroom in Boston are eventually shamed into reading the room and acting accordingly.
