Roy Evans: 'Liverpool will listen to the fans over ticket-price issue'

Former Liverpool manager Roy Evans says that the club will listen to the fans after they protested against the new £77 ticket prices.

Former Liverpool manager Roy Evans has claimed that the club's owners will listen to the supporters after they protested against the rise in ticket prices.

It was announced last week that category A games will cost £77 next season, which is £18 more than they are currently priced at.

On Saturday during Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Sunderland at Anfield, approximately 10,000 fans walked out of the stadium in the 77th minute to vent their discontent over the re-structure.

"The walkout was done in a very positive way without any hassle whatsoever," Evans told talkSPORT. "I hope the club's response is as good as I thought the fans' protest was. I'm sure Liverpool are sensible enough to make this not a big issue and to listen to the fans.

"It's supposed to be a game for the fans. Whether you can afford tickets or you can't afford tickets, it's a game for everybody.

"I understand there's got to be revenue, there has got to be stuff going in. The players are getting paid ridiculous amounts of money - we'd all take it by the way, don't get me wrong, but at the end of it all you can't just keep putting that load onto the fans."

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher joined the fans in the walkout.
