Response to new ticket announcement

This placed Liverpool FC as having the 2nd most expensive "cheapest match-day ticket" and the third most expensive "cheapest season ticket."

Spirit Of Shankly: The Noise That Won’t Be Silenced
Spirit Of Shankly: The Noise That Won't Be Silenced By Jay McKenna The Sandon Pub is a well-known feature in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Without the events of 1892, there is no modern-day Liverpool FC as we know it, and all that we’ve heard and witnessed in between. That very same pub was the location of another meeting 18 years ago, without which the recent history of the club would have been very different. Those who can recall – or who may have blocked from their memory the events of late 2007 [...]
