A GROUP of Scottish football supporters are to stage a march on Hampden ahead of October’s World Cup qualifier against Lithuania in protest at ticket prices.

The Scottish Football Fans Against Rising Ticket Prices demo, organised online by Facebook group Scottish Football Away Fans, is planned to increase pressure on top clubs and the SFA to reduce the cost of football and start getting fans back through the gates.

Organisers hope to have a thousand fans take part in the protest, which is planned for the afternoon of Saturday, October 8 - just hours ahead of Scotland’s crucial qualifier.

A spokesman for the SFAF group said: “We're hoping for 800-1000 people to come along on the day.

“We’ve been planning this for two months and are targeting most of the Premiership, a couple of Championship clubs and the SFA.

“They're the bosses at end of the day. We want them to reduce prices to a reasonable price for families.

“We'd also hope they can reduce the prices at Scotland games. Wales is a perfect example. I believe they only charged £10 for concessions for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.

“Our main aim is to get the notice of the Old Firm and the SFA and reduce the ticket prices to a reasonable price for everyone.”
