As if extortionate ticket prices weren’t bad enough, top flight football clubs are charging over the odds for a pint. This blatant profiteering should not continue to go unnoticed.

When will Premier League football clubs learn to stop taking their loyalty for granted?

The national average for a pint is £2.76, with only Wigan charging less than that, whilst Chelsea are charging £1.24 above the country’s average.

Is this another case of football clubs exploiting their fans, or should fans pay more for a pint during a game?
