Supporters meeting over tickets

The news coming out of the Liverpool FC Supporters Board meeting is that the club refuses to reverse the controversial ticket price rise. Here’s all the reaction.

The club met with the Supporters Board on Saturday to discuss the plan and released the following statement on ticket prices afterwards:

"Today, representatives from LFC and the Supporters Board met to discuss engagement processes and the recent two per cent ticket price rise announced for general admission and matchday tickets."

Ruben Amorim saw his Sporting CP move closer to a second Liga Portugal title with a 4-0 win over Gil Vicente on Friday. That's now five wins on the bounce in the league and a seven-point lead over Benfica with six games to play.

Reds eye Leverkusen stars

Liverpool still hope to sign two of Xabi Alonso’s players at Bayer Leverkusen, even after he rejected the chance to be their new manager.

Football Transfers claims Liverpool still have eyes on two Bayer Leverkusen stars. Links to the pair have existed for a little while but it felt natural for them to fade once Xabi Alonso rejected the Reds' manager job.
