Liverpool fans fund Champions League trip by returning beer cups worth £2.50 each in Austria

“Liverpool fans fund Champions League trip by returning beer cups worth £2.50 each in Austr” — what this page in the network covers. Liverpool supporters found an inventive way to offset travel costs during their Champions League match against LASK in Austria: collecting and returning plastic beer cups for a deposit refund of £2.50 each. Fans were seen building towering 'beer snakes' in the stands, then cashing in thousands of cups to cover expenses. The initiative highlights fan creativity and the financial pressures of following a team abroad, while also promoting recycling at stadiums.

With some fans reportedly covering their entire trip cost, the trend could inspire similar schemes at other European venues. As clubs and fans increasingly focus on sustainability and affordability, this grassroots approach may become a fixture of away-day culture.
