Sheffield United cheapest team to support in the Football League
- Published
Sheffield United provide the cheapest matchday experience in the Football League, according to 91热爆 Sport Price of Football.
A total of 拢17.20 can buy a ticket to a game, a programme, a pie and a tea.
That makes a trip to Bramall Lane over 拢4 cheaper than any other League One club, with Tranmere offering the next cheapest matchday experience at 拢21.50.
"We had our highest home attendance [against Bournemouth] with this ticket price," said spokesman Kevin Cookson.
"In that game there were eight goals, so it was certainly value for money."
Bournemouth offer the most expensive matchday experience in League One.
The highest-priced ticket for a game at the Goldsands Stadium costs 拢26 and that, plus a 拢3 programme, 拢3.50 pie and a 拢1.80 cup of tea adds up to 拢34.30. The cheapest ticket at Bournemouth is 拢18.
The cheapest ticket to watch top-of-the-table Tranmere is 拢14.50.
Last season's League Two champions Swindon have frozen their ticket prices, with their cheapest ticket at 拢19 and most expensive 拢25, while the cost of a programme and a pie also costs the same as it did while they were in the lower division.
However, promotion has seen the cost of a tea rise, with football fans having to pay 20p more than last year.
"When you come here, to compare with many other stadiums, you have a more comfortable situation," said Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio.
"Last year our programme won programme of the year for League Two, which means the product is different and worth the money.
"If you have a drink in a cinema it is expensive, so I think for what we offer it is reasonable."
Coventry, relegated from the Championship last season, have recognised the need to lower their prices to encourage fans to continue coming through the turnstiles, despite playing in a lower division.
Last year, the Sky Blues' cheapest and most expensive tickets were 拢22 and 拢29 respectively, but they have reduced both prices by 拢4, now charging 拢18 for the cheapest ticket and 拢25 for the most expensive.
