Liverpool and Brighton fans are set to join forces at Anfield to campaign for fairer ticket prices.
Liverpool FC Supporters Union, Spirit of Shankly, will hold the “Stop Exploiting Loyalty” banner as Liverpool host Brighton in tomorrow’s Premier League fixture.

Spirit of Shankly member, Gareth Roberts said: “We want to send a clear message to all Premier League clubs and the administrators of the league itself that enough is enough and routine price rises need to stop.
“Our game is already far more expensive than it once was and preying on the loyalty of dedicated supporters needs to stop.
“It should not be a race to the richest in terms of who fills our stadiums.”
This season, 19 of the 20 Premier League clubs increased their ticket prices with Crystal Palace the only exception.
Roberts said: “Apathy is the friend of the capitalist who wants to keep milking us. Solidarity can make a difference and we have proved this before.”
