BBC: Price of Football: Full results 2016

Some surprising bits and pieces.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37953195
Did you know we have the most expensive pie in the entire PL? (£4.10) And that chelsea have by far the cheapest, at a recession busting £2.50?
Or that at £2.40 we have the second most expensive cup of tea, with only Liverpool and Man Utd's costing more at £2.50? And that chelsea and Palace have the cheapest at a quid?

Should have put this link in the OP, too. For those that love a WH related bar chart and percentage figure.

2.40 nicker for a cup of Rosie is outright larceny

What's the value for money of the tea?
£1 for a cup of undrinkable shit is beaten by £2.40 for something it's possible to enjoy.
Even a coffee devotee like me can sometimes (well, about once a year) enjoy a cup of tea.

Articles like this almost allow the clubs to justify ridiculous prices though. The true fact of the matter is football as a whole is overpriced and poor value for money currently.
I'd like to know how many bottom priced season tickets were actually available at that rate, bet with some its only a handful.
Furthermore how much they've been bumped up every year on trend.
Meanwhile a big stat left out which would be very interesting is the clubs away travel, cost and subsidisation offered, not just the ticket.

If only we had a couple of shopping centres nearby which had loads of places that sold cheap food and drink.

I thought we didn't get any of the money for food and drink sold in the ground?

I think that we only get a proportion of the sales on a match day over a certain figure, although I've forgotten what that proportion is, and the point where it starts to get paid.
And I don't know if that point has ever been reached.

Irrelevant.
As this article isn't comparing what "nearby food outlets closest to a teams stadium offer the best prices", it is comparing stadiums food prices.
Weird argument to make.

Not really irrelevant as I'm highlighting that, despite the cost being high, there are plenty of alternatives so people should just stop moaning about everything because it gets fucking boring.

Funny they don't mention that we have the second lowest cost season ticket. Hull being the lowest. The BBC have to get a dig in about tea and pies first.

I pulled the stuff about pies and cups of tea out of their tables, it wan't highlighted in the article. I was just taking the piss because to me, at 5:30am or whenever it was I posted it, including things like that seemed a bit trivial/daft.
That said, I am still surprised that chelsea have the cheapest of both..
They don't highlight anything, about any club. It's just the prices of a range of things, listed by club.
