Big clubs’ big prices aren’t the only way
KADEEM SIMMONDS is looking elsewhere to get his football fix

I WAS chatting to a couple of contributors, Tashan Deniran-Alleyne and Ravit Anand, on Saturday when we turned to the Liverpool fans’ protest earlier that day.

Around 10,000 supporters walked out in the 77th minute after the club announced the priciest matchday tickets would rise to £77 next season.

Ravit said that those protesting were still likely to buy a ticket next year if the club refuses to back down and leaves supporters with no choice but to fork out the money.
