Liverpool fans will not display flags and banners on The Kop for the remaining games of the 2025-26 season in protest against ticket price rises.
The Anfield club recently announced ticket-price hikes linked to inflation for each of the next three seasons. In sharing this information with fans, the club pointed to operating costs for matches rising 85% since 2016-17 and “continued rises in the cost of football operations in general”.
Supporters' Union Spirit of Shankly have already encouraged fans not to spend money inside the stadium and have proposed protests in the coming weeks.
Now, supporter group Spion Kop 1906 says flags and banners will disappear from this weekend, with the multi-year nature of the price hikes at the heart of frustrations with the club.
The group said: "All Spion Kop 1906 flags will no longer be present at Anfield at the remaining fixtures.
"We feel we have been left with no other option. Year on year the rising costs are pricing more fans out of football.
"We must take a stand against the rising cost of football, we feel there's a value to being valued.
"We, the fans, are the heartbeat of the football club; the same heartbeat that Liverpool Football Club market for a pound note. We urge FSG to remember that our club should embody the identity of its surrounding community and resonate with the values of the surrounding area.
"What is Anfield without its heartbeat. Do the right thing for the future of our game. Listen to the heartbeat."
The group have said the fixture nearest to the anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster – which is next week's Champions League tie with Paris St-Germain – will be the only one that sees some flags present to mark the occasion.
Fans also withdrew flags from a Europa League fixture against Atalanta in 2024 in protest against a ticket price rise – a game Liverpool lost 3-0 in what proved Jurgen Klopp’s final European game as a manager at Anfield.
