The Newcastle United supporters trust have scheduled a demonstration to promote the ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ campaign alongside West Ham fans, ahead of Newcastle United’s home game against the Hammers on Monday evening.

According to shieldsgazette.com:”The Protest at St James’ Park will take place next to the statues of Alan Shearer and Sir Bobby Robson where a similar demonstration took place ahead of Newcastle United’s clash with Arsenal a fortnight ago.

That campaign was set up by the Football Supporters Association (FSA) amid rising ticket prices in England. 19 of the 20 Premier League clubs have increased ticket prices this season, sparking a movement to try and stop clubs exploiting the loyalty of their core fans who watch the team week in and week out.”

Several West Ham supporters groups are engaged in an ongoing  protest over ticket prices and concessions for young and senior supporters.

The Magpies’ Supporters Trust released a post on their twitter x account urging West Ham fans to attend before the 8pm kick off:“We will be standing alongside West Ham fans before the game on 25/11/24 at SJP – 7pm at statues”

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970.. 'Football is Life' oh yes. Let it raise your spirit but never darken your mood. Life's too short not to enjoy the journey with our Claret and Blue heroes n' villains.

    Perfect chance to practice JLo Out! in time for the Arsenal game.

    Think it’s time to turn on Sully who has devastated our season with his lacklustre & terrible appointment of the clown 🤡
