How aggressively are Liverpool fans willing to fight back against the proposed increase of ticket prices?

With the news this week that some tickets in the new main stand at Anfield would set supporters back £77 (€100), some fans have decided to push back. Supporter group 'Spion Kop 1906' are urging fans to send a message to the Liverpool board that the price hike will not be blindly accepted. The group want spectators to leave the stadium during the 77th minute of Saturday's home tie against Sunderland in protest of the increase. https://twitter.com/SpionKop1906/status/695161448805310464 https://twitter.com/SpionKop1906/status/695161363426054145 https://twitter.com/SpionKop1906/status/695161212670210048 With over 600 retweets at the time of writing, it seems like the proposition has some legs and fellow fan group 'Spirit of Shankly' has thrown their backing behind the move. https://twitter.com/spiritofshankly/status/695177495314853888
