What impact would staying away actually have? The tickets the home supporters boycott will be purchased by tourists etc?
The match starting with a few thousand empty seats does not have the same impact as a few thousand people walking out midway through a televised match.
FSG hardly rely on ticket sales as a main source of income because alot of money the club makes is from tv rights, sponsors and merchandise. 10000 less tickets sold will have no affect on FSG. They need to be embarrassed and this was certainly a great way of doing that.
Im not even from Liverpool but support what the fans have done wholeheartedly.
It might not have distracted the team and we might have won the game?
Like I've said, I don't support the ticket price rises but I'm also not going to support anything that hurts the team.
