If they had any nouse they would threaten to boycott the new stand (and follow through with it) I sense that today's action smacks of wanting to 'own' the wider ticket price debate

Don't see what the fuss is about. They would still be the 5th lowest ticket price out of the London clubs.

They only want to talk about this tonight. Not the fact they failed to beat an appalling side at home from 2-0 up. Not the fact that Rodgers has a better record than Klopp. Not the fact that Defoe made 'he's world class and you're a bad fan if you can't see it' Sakho look like err Sakho.

The rain, it raineth every day
are they going to leave at min77 every week now then?
Who would have thought a roof on a shed could be so divisive!
In principle you can agree with the protest, but all the disgusting things this vile right government are doing to the country, and these people see fit to protest about the prices for a togger match, maybe put that energy towards something that is actually important

What a guy.
.....it's the many thousands who have season tickets to sell on a game by game basis to tourists at huge profit they should be targeting. Imagine if season ticket holders had to attend 75% of home matches, you'd soon see demand fall.
Why I walked: Liverpool fan explains protest during Sunderland draw
An estimated 10,000 Liverpool fans left Anfield in the 77th minute of Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland in protest at the club’s new £77 match ticket for next season. Liverpool fan Rob Gutmann was among them
I’ve never seen a crowd finish a football team like that. The match was won, Liverpool 2 Sunderland 0. Then the 77th-minute protest began. About half the Kop walked, and a significant portion of the rest voted with their feet too. The dissenting mass totally sucked the life out of their team, Sunderland seized the moment, and the win was stolen. The point, emphatically made.
No witnesses could have failed to draw the inference. Crowds matter. People matter. Without fans it’s just 22 fools in a field. Even Jürgen Klopp has referenced this in the past.
Before the game there was plenty of talk but no real sense of what might actually unfold in the ground. The week was tense: plans were hatched, black flags prepared.
The point we were making was this: we’re worth more. An £8.5 billion TV windfall deserved to be shared and the launch of a new 8,500-capacity main stand at Anfield represented a major opportunity to do that. The planets were aligning: this was the moment when our club could have made us proud. We could have been first to the punch.
I’ve been giving Liverpool my money as a season-ticket holder for 30 years. They’ve got me. Like all of us, a slave to football’s rhythm. We’d just like to feel they weren’t laughing at us.
Today felt like a flag had been planted, and maybe things will never be the same again. I expected sadness but there was mainly stoic pride. The Kop, defiantly mute for an hour, roused itself with trademark angry majesty on 75 minutes and cheered the faithful home. Never so literally.
77 and out. So many of us gone – hopefully not for ever. But enough is enough.
In some ways, protests, welcome home.
What is it with them, eh? I mean really.
