Co-organiser Steve Crompton told BBC Sport: "It is certainly not about the football, it never has been.

"It is about the Glazer ownership and the debt that is looming over us that we cannot seem to get away from.

"It is just bad news after bad news, whether it is staff redundancies, hikes in ticket prices or concessions being taken away. Your match-going fans and your local workforce seem to be copping for it, but we seem to be getting nothing in return."
