Man United fan claims he was 'KICKED OUT' of FA Cup broadcast for protesting unpopular ticket price hike

Daily Mail  

A Manchester United fan has claimed that he was kicked off the BBC's broadcast of the FA Cup Third Round on Monday evening for protesting his club's contentious ticket price hike. While Mail Sport reported on Wednesday that Man United had stated only three per cent of supporters would be affected by the increase in prices due to 97 per cent of tickets for all remaining matches having been already sold, the move comes against the backdrop of swingeing cuts at the club under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. A Manchester United fan has alleged that he was kicked off a BBC broadcast for protesting ticket price hiks A day earlier, fans had turned out at Old Trafford before facing Everton to protest the measure Sir Jim Ratcliffe has come under fire after a string of cost-cutting measures since taking control of football operations in February Appearing behind BBC host Kelly Sommers, the fan held up his phone with a message written on the screen reading: '£66 thieves.' Man United also took the decision to relieve legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson of his ambassadorial contract, cancel its annual Christmas Party, and in a controversial FA Cup-related decision, scrap traditional staff perks for the final including paid-for travel to Wembley, a pre-match party, and lunch after the match.
