Abstract
BBC Sport’s annual Price of Football Survey 2012 has found that the combined average cost of watching a live game – including ticket, programme, a pie and a cup of tea - has risen by 11.7% in the past 12 months - more than five times the rate of inflation.

In a survey of 166 clubs in 10 divisions across British football the study recorded the prices for the most expensive, and cheapest, season tickets and adult matchday tickets as well as the cost of a cup of tea, a pie, and a programme - to calculate the cheapest possible day out at a match.

Blue Square Premier team Kidderminster have the most expensive pie at £4, with Fulham and Brighton close behind at £3.90. Premier League Arsenal had held the title of the club with the most expensive pie in 2011, but have dropped down the table after cutting the price from £4 to £3.30.

The cheapest pies are to be found in the lower divisions of Scottish football with Alloa, Albion Rovers and Forfar Athletic selling the fans favourite for just £1 each. The cheapest pie in England costs £1.50 at Accrington Stanley.

When it comes to the half-time cup of tea then the supporters who have to dig deepest are in Manchester, where both United and City charge £2.50.

The cheapest tea is to be found in the English League 1 where you can get a cuppa for just a £1 at both Stevenage and Crawley.
