A small win here for the supporters who came together to oppose the mid-season price hike. Club owners will keep pushing to see what they can get away with in terms of prices - supporters need to come together and keep pushing back. #StopExploitingLoyalty

US fans rarely fought back against greedy owners who priced families & working class out of big pro sports. Supporters associations & others in UK aren't having that. @robbohuyton.bsky.social on TalkSport talking @spiritofshankly.bsky.social & beyond #StopExploitingLoyalty youtu.be/jvl8JNgb2jo?...
