Manchester United and Fulham fans are joining forces before Sunday's FA Cup tie at Old Trafford in a protest against ticket pricing. Fulham fans’ focus is primarily on the cost of tickets for this fifth-round tie. For United fans, the protest is more about the wider issue of ticket pricing rather than specifically the Cup. They’re still awaiting their pricing announcement from the club about next season. “Across the country football fans are putting rivalries to one side because we are all fighting the same fight on ticket prices,” says Duncan Drasdo, chief executive of @MU_ST. “Clubs are exploiting loyalty and fans are united in saying enough is enough. Aggressive ticket pricing attacks the very identity of the "supporter" and if they want to treat fans like customers don't be surprised if they start to act like customers. “But be warned: that will destroy the culture of loyalty and atmosphere that creates the immense value that match-going fans bring to our game. Of course, once the whistle blows, normal rivalries will resume in what is a key Cup match for both clubs. But pre-match our message is united and it is clear – stop exploiting our loyalty.” @FulhamSuppTrust says, “While the protest is about wider pricing concerns this match serves to illustrate the issue. For away fans (and home members in equivalent seating), tickets for the tie were priced between £52 and £61 for adults, £41.50 and £48.50 for supporters aged over 65 and between 18 and 21, £31 and £35.50 for 16 to 17-year-olds and £25 for under-16s.” Simon Duke, chair of @FulhamSuppTrust, says, “These outrageous prices show contempt for loyal supporters, who will face difficulties getting home after the game on account of the tie being switched to a 4.30pm kick-off at the behest of the broadcasters”. #MUFC #FFC #MUNFUL #FACup
