Brighton fans join growing revolt over TV ‘profiteering’ by boycotting pay-per-view games and donate their £14.95 box office charge to food-banks

Fed-up Premier League supporters have raised tens of thousands of pounds for food banks after boycotting pay-per-view games and the protest will continue when Brighton and West Brom meet.

‘Fans Supporting Foodbanks’ has been set up jointly by Liverpool and Everton supporters’ groups Spirit of Shankly and Blue Union and has urged fans to donate their £14.95 box office charge to help feed those in need.

There is widespread anger at the decision of the Premier League to sell matches through Sky Sports’ and BT Sport’s Box Office on top of the usual subscription.
