English football fans are set to march to the Premier League's London headquarters to protest about ticket prices, on the 19/06/2013.

The protest has been organised by the Liverpool supporters club, Spirit of Shankly (SoS), and is expected to attract hundreds of fans from different clubs. The protest coincides with the publication of the Premier League fixture list for the 2013/14 season.

SoS have said that the protest is to allow fans "to make their feelings known on the cost of going to the match and what they say is greed from the football cartel as ticket prices continue to rise despite increased revenues in football from TV and sponsorship deals.”

With the Premier League’s new TV rights deals (from 2013-2016), clubs will earn a collective €6.4bn.
