    That is what is being asked by the BBC on their website. If it's Gregg's?

    The link is below.

    Pie and cuppa at the SoL and Sid James cost the same. 10p differences cancel each other out. I'm just glad we're not charging what Arsenal charge!

    Its nice that we're the cheapest and is undoubtedly a feather in the clubs cap.

    However the overall article only highlights further that the costs to go to football in this country are scandalous.

    Arsenal cheapest season ticket £985 <yikes>

    Holy ****!! But their cheapest individual matchday ticket is £26 - now maybe maths isn't their strong point but 19 x 26 = £494 - yet £985/19=£51.84

    As has been said on other places - the ticket prices are for Adults and don't take into account thiings like £99 U16 tickets and the 16-21 prices anbd family sprecials and pie & a pint deals they have on in the ground - just seems to be one dimensional and should be worded differently

    Likely that season tickets aren't available in what they see as the worst part of the stadium, up a height?

    It's not the cost but the quantity as far as Mags are concerned. Or in the words of Shakespeare "Two pie or not to pie, that is the question".

    But the whole argument is a bit 'flaky' to me and the 'crust' of the matter is its just not worth getting 'pie-ous' about?

    I was hoping to find the main pic the bbc were showing, the title read 'How much do magpie's pay for their pies' with a picture of a mag fan in the stand scoffing on a pie quite amusing, I thought. Maybe I should have added that in with the thread it may have connected with some?

    I don't think I commented on who had the cheapest /dearest pies, as mentioned to typify a mag to be scoffing on a pie was amusing.

    I preferred the 90's programs that were about half the price.
