The BBC Sport Price of Football study is out. They gathered data from 200 clubs in Britain and the headlines were surprising: "Cost of watching football has dropped or stayed the same for most fans Cheap Adidas Ultra Boosts Shoes ," read The Guardian's.
For all we constantly hear talk of how expensive football is, prices in Britain have either stabilized or begun to creep down. That's good news. But it's also disingenuous. A Manchester United strip of shirt, shorts and socks including a player name and number costs 103 pounds ($160). Let's say you got a good deal and picked Schweinsteiger 23 on the back rather than Shaw 3 - all names and numbers are the same price - you could spend 1.48 pounds more and see the Bavarian's former club every week as Bayern -Munich's cheapest season ticket is just 104.48 pounds. It could always be worse. The most expensive regular entry - meaning not VIP or corporate or anything else that indicates prawn sandwiches on the menu and the rattling of jewellery as a sign of appreciation - for PSG is 186.57 pounds for a single game. That's 90 minutes in Paris for the price of a season and a half of watching the German champions. Ooh la la..
Anyway Cheap Ultra Boosts Shoes , football fans should be eating pies not prawns. And this is where the study gets -really meaty. The most expensive pie in British football is at, wait for it, Kidderminster Harriers. A pie at Aggborough will set you back 4.50 pounds Cheap Adidas Ultra Boosts , which is a little hard to swallow until you learn that Kidderminster is home to one of the best pies in football. Even Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson could agree on their being value in the market when it comes to medal-winning pastry products.
Pies are a serious business for football fans. The price is a point of pride for Harriers fans. They are truly in the top four - only Brighton (4.10 pounds), Crystal Palace and Manchester City (both 4 pounds) bother pockets for 4 pounds or more. There are pie awards, with Morecambe's hamleekchicken mix winning the "Best Pie in Football" and the club's Bramley apple pie winning best brampley apple pie and then being named the "Best Pie in Britain."
There's even a book on one man's season of visiting -every league ground and sampling a pie at each - that's Tom Dickinson's 2012 tome 92 Pies if you need something to chew over. So intrinsically linked to the game are they that the song "Who ate all the pies?" still rings around grounds. In one possibly apocryphal tale Cheap Ultra Boosts , a chorus of that reached a crescendo with a pie being launched at the rather portly Micky Quinn, who reacted in good humor by picking it up and proceeding to polish it off.
Spare a thought for Conference side Braintree, named the cheapest pies at a pound. You'd be suspicious of anything at that price Cheap Adidas Ultra Yeezy Boost , even if it didn't have brain written on it. It still might be better value than what's on the pitch.
