    BBC did their now annual review of football prices and there is a massive shock, we have more expensive pies and teas then the championship's resident ripoffs Leeds! - although to be fair, they are offering season tickets cheaper then Hull.

    Aside from that we are pretty much in the middle when it comes to ticket prices.

    I've always been prepared to pay that little bit more for quality food - Some of the pies I've tasted at other grounds were atrocious

    They've not put in a lowest price for Derby, claiming prices to be dynamic. Why don't they just be honest and say £0?

    Looks like the best deals are in the north-west, with Bolton, Blackburn and Burnley. I suppose they have to stop you watching Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton etc some how.

    Good to see Ken Bates is making the most money on programme sales. He has to make up for the money lost on Kasper somehow! <ok>

    I just noticed Hull offer the worst value for money on season tickets. So not only do they have to watch the worst football in the league, they have to pay the most to do it! Ouch!

    I now see why Charlie et al are becoming steadily Leicester fans.

    Not bad compared to £462 for Shrewbury or £501 for Colchester!

    They're complaining that they've put their top season ticket price as a corporate seat with free programme, coffee/tee etc included, where most clubs have only included standard season ticket prices on theirs.

    For instance, your Fosse Club Premium season tickets are £975(ours are currently £720, but they're about to go over a grand in December).

    Fosse Club?

    You are nearly a century out of date old man - am surprised you aren't complaining that season tickets cost two bob and a sixpence with enough change to get your goloshes spit shined by a street urchin back in your day.

    Balti Pies at Elland Road are amazing although I refuse to eat them until Bates ****s off :)

    £4 for a programme great value for money when all he does is talk **** in them

    the stats are very flawed though.

    Lots missing and lots wrong, our cheapest are only that cheap if you buy an adult season ticket in the most expensive part of the ground

    You don't have to be a Leicester City fan to be able to Google 'Leicester City Season Ticket Prices', it did take me a good 20 seconds though.

    How much do you have to save up for to get yourself a Balti pie?

    Something like £3 at City.

    When discussing a comparison between season ticket prices at different clubs, it can be helpful to check out the facts before making a point.

    You should try it. <ok>
