Watford have yet to reveal their 2016-17 prices but Flores said he wished supporters did not have to pay a penny to attend games.

“I want to say that I would like the fans to pay as little as possible,” Flores said. “It is an amazing love that the fans feel for their team but, unfortunately, football is not cheap; it is expensive.

“Sometimes, the situation of the families is not so good, so if you are talking with me about what I think, I would like them to go for free, and if not free, cheap.

“I don’t understand why football is expensive for the people because the football is great for the fans. But football is more and more of a business and it is difficult to think that it will ever be free.”

Pulis called for Premier League clubs to cap away ticket prices at £10. He told the BBC: “I’d love away supporters to only pay £10 a ticket: whatever ground you go to, make it £10.

“You can give 5,000-6,000 tickets to the away support, they’d sell them and we’d get back to the atmospheres we used to have. That’s one thing the Germans have got over us at the moment: every ground you go to the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. It’ll help the fans as well. Clubs are getting enough money to subsidise and help the public.

“We’ve got to do more for the youngsters, to keep the youngsters involved. This is the greatest football nation in the world, we produce great players because of our systems, the way we work, the way we are – but we’ve got to make sure we’re not milking, milking and milking. We’ve got to give something back.”

Crystal Palace, whose fans are among the most vocal on supporter issues, have frozen the prices for all but their most expensive season tickets for next season.

Pardew said: “The owners of Premier League clubs, and we have a lot of foreign owners, need to really consider carefully so that they don’t lose the core supporters that we have. If they think it’s just the product on the pitch that makes the Premier League what it is, it isn’t.

“It’s the atmosphere, it’s the drive from those core supporters that makes the atmosphere and the game unfold the way it does.

“You won’t have those dramatic finishes, those really conflictual games without those fans.”

The Football Supporters’ Federation on Thursday hailed the Liverpool walkout as a “game-changer” as clubs consider how to respond to the fan unrest.

Chairman Malcolm Clarke said: “It is something I am sure both owners and other supporters’ groups would have noticed. In some ways, it has been a bit of a game-changer but the next big milestone is to see what Premier League clubs do at their meeting next month.

“Last time they got a majority for some kind of package but it was not the two-thirds needed so we would hope in the light of the Liverpool situation they will deliver something meaningful.”
