#StopExploitingLoyalty: Fan groups continue actions
Fan groups in the Premier League are continuing to spread the #StopExploitingLoyalty message – as the campaign against ever-increasing ticket prices in the Premier League heads into the Christmas period.
Earlier this week, ahead of the Monday night game at St James’ Park, supporters of both Newcastle United and West Ham United demonstrated together.
Together they unfurled a #StopExploitingLoyalty banner outside the ground to make clear their unhappiness at successive years of ticket price rises. West Ham fans continue to draw attention to their club’s attack on concessionary offers at the London Stadium.
Thank you to all those that stood with us and West Ham fans last night before the game #stopexploitingloyalty

Upcoming demonstrations
More #StopExploitingLoyalty demonstrations will be taking place this weekend.
Manchester United’s The 1958 group will be hosting a demonstration ahead of their game against Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday, gathering at the Trinity Statue at 12.30pm.
“We need to send a message to the club that we are laser focussed on keeping football affordable and looking after our loyal match going fan base,” they said.
They will be joined by members of Everton’s Fan Advisory Board.
Liverpool and Manchester City fans will also demonstrate together on Sunday ahead of their 4pm kick-off at Anfield. Anyone wishing to get involved is advised to convene at the corner of The Kop and Kenny Dalglish stands, Walton Breck Road, at 3pm.
Liverpool’s supporter union Spirit of Shankly said: “We will be coming together with City fans on Sunday to again hold up the #StopExploitingLoyalty banner inside and outside Anfield.
“Clubs do not need to charge matchgoing fans more for tickets. They don’t need to scrap concessions.”
