Fans will protest against the price of match tickets by staging a demonstration outside a meeting of Premier League club executives.
.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is to present a letter to shareholders during their scheduled summit at a central London hotel.
.
He will do so on behalf of the Football Supporters’ Federation (FSF) and fan groups from all 20 top-flight clubs.
.
The letter renews a demand for away tickets to be capped at £20.
.
In addition, fans are also calling for:
Every Premier League club to set aside £1m per season, primarily to subsidise ticket prices for their away fans
.
A “structured engagement” with supporters at every club to consult on how to spend that £1m subsidy
.
An end to clubs categorising games for away fans and charging different prices depending on which team is visiting
.
No reduction in away ticket allocations or relocation of away fans to inferior accommodation
.
The protest will take place just weeks after the Premier League signed a record £5.14bn TV deal with Sky and BT Sport, which will cover three seasons from 2016-17.
.
A new report by Deloitte also shows top-flight clubs generated a combined pre-tax profit of £190m in 2013-14, the first in 15 years.
.
Given the financial success of the division, the FSF feels it is imperative for clubs to now take action on away ticket prices.
.
“Away fans generate much of the atmosphere, often sparking the home support into life,” reads the FSF letter.
.
“They are among the most loyal of supporters, often travelling long distances at difficult times while generally being regular home fans and consumers of merchandise and TV packages, too.
