Following our joint open letter on the 2025 Carabao Cup Final, 🆘 & @nufctrust.bsky.social met with the EFL and @thefsa.bsky.social to discuss ticketing, pricing & kick-off times.

Major finals should work for match goers, not just broadcasters.

Kop Outs, LFC's's LGBT+ fan group, express their profound anger & disappointment at the club's decision to enter into a sponsorship deal with Visit Maldives. Given Maldives' appalling human rights record, this partnership directly contradicts the club's stated commitment to equality & inclusion.

When fans unite, they get results. This freeze shows our arguments – and those of fellow Supporters' Board members – were heard.

Our work continues, as does the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign with @thefsa.bsky.social

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.

Food poverty is rising. In 2022-23, 3 million people relied on food parcels, with a third going to children.

There was fantastic media interest in the #StopExploitingLoyalty protests at Anfield and Old Trafford over the weekend, when fans of #LFC, #MCFC, #MUFC and #EFC came together to unite for a common cause.

Here is the Granada Reports coverage, broadcast earlier in the week.

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
