Agen TangKasneT  ~   Martin Keown has admitted he would join Arsenal supporters if they decided to protest against ticket prices at the Emirates.

The Gunners' most expensive season ticket, priced at £2013, is the costliest in the Premier League, as is their most expensive matchday ticket, which costs a whopping £97.

Arsenal were one of a number of teams last week to raise opposition to a £30 cap on away tickets for next season, despite the vast amount of TV money the club will receive during the 2016/17 campaign.

Keown believes the new TV deal is a chance for clubs to put supporters first for once and believes Arsenal have no excuse for not lowering their prices.

"With the enormous TV deal next season, this is a really great opportunity to put the fans first. We are not thinking about the fans anywhere near enough," Keown wrote in his Daily Mail column.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   Liverpool fans - Jamie Carragher included - staged a 77th minute walkout during their side's home clash with Sunderland last weekend in protest against a new £77 matchday ticket which was set to be introduced next season.

The walkout forced the club to perform a U-turn on their planned price increase, as they announced on Wednesday night that ticket prices will instead be frozen, leaving the most expensive matchday ticket at £59.

"Jamie Carragher made a stand by joining in the Anfield protests last week and if there was a similar one at Arsenal, I would follow suit," Keown added.

"It’s hard-earned money that’s being spent and fans travel the length and breadth of the country to support their teams. They deserve to have their voices heard."
