Liverpool fans’ walkout has forced the owners into action

It's not been a great few days for Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group.

There was the whole 'fans into customers' palaver, followed by a walkout in the 77th minute of the Premier League meeting with Sunderland. Oh, and the first team threw away a two-goal lead in the absence of appendicitis victim Jurgen Klopp. Of those setbacks, the walkout is the one getting the most attention...and rightly so. In fact, according to the Daily Express, Fenway have agreed to hold private talks following the protests over the decision to raise ticket prices in the new main stand to £77. The American owners reportedly began to address the matter straight after the weekend's match, while discussions continued over the weekend. Fans will hope the outcome is a decision to go back on the price hike, but we imagine there's a long way to go.
