Liverpool fans may have started a trend that could have greedy football owners counting their filthy lucre.

On Wednesday evening, the Merseysider’s owners announced that after fan protests and much anger around the club’s proposed plans to try and charge £77 for a match a ticket had been scrapped.

Manchester United is of course owned by the Glazers, and fans of Liverpool’s greatest rivals have been praising what has been achieved on Merseyside this evening while some Arsenal fans have also rowed in with kudos to the Red's supporters https://twitter.com/_Rob_B/status/697505447344001033 https://twitter.com/bruciesnose/status/697505550171557888 https://twitter.com/LFCFansCorner/status/697498635819466752 https://twitter.com/dpj600/status/697507284524650498 While most football fans felt the victory was a small but significant one. https://twitter.com/LikaAlgeria/status/697509980409352193 https://twitter.com/samruwell/status/697509788868087808 https://twitter.com/macquart/status/697509011546095618 https://twitter.com/MattyD178/status/697503379292028928 https://twitter.com/iamjohnnybest/status/697500090718670848
