An indignant Arsenal fan stirred up a storm on Twitter yesterday when he posted a picture of a portion of chips that set him back nearly £13.
Fans – feeling the pinch by the cost of living crisis – slammed the Premier League club for the sky high price.
One quipped that was the same as a deposit on a house in some parts of the country.
Another joked that a match ticket and travel home should be included for that price.
A third wrote they’d need to increase their bank overdraft to pay for it.
An indignant Arsenal fan shared a picture of the £12.60 Gunners’ Chilli cheese fries – which came topped with spring onions, a few tiny pieces of meat and cheese sauce
A flood of responses to the photo have mocked the eye-popping price charged for the Gunners’ Chilli cheese fries
The Gunners’ Chilli cheese fries come topped with spring onions, a few tiny pieces of meat and cheese sauce.
They cost £12.60 at their Emirates Stadium where Arsenal beat 10-man Leeds United 2-1 yesterday/on Sunday (May 8).
One home fan proudly showed off his portion which was shared on Twitter page Footy Scran.
Spurs fan Mark Kelly said: ‘Hello, can I speak to my bank manager, please?
‘I could do with a snack here at the Emirates, but I thought I’d better check my overdraft limit first.’
The pricey Emirates Stadium meal prompted a host of outraged comments on Twitter
Bury footballer Jimmy Moore said: ‘Deposit for a house in Rochdale that.’
A Newcastle supporter – called Matt – said: ‘I hope the food price includes a match ticket, tour of the stadium and a lift home on the first team coach.’
Celtic supporter Andy Cooper fumed: £12.60, absolutely insane.
‘Those prices wouldn’t last two mins in Glasgow. And spring onion at the football?’
One Liverpool fan said: ‘They look great but how f*****g much?’
Another said: ’50p per fry, mmmmkay.’
One supporter added: ’12 quid for some f*****g fries absolutely mental.’
Arsenal sparked fury in December after it was revealed a burger and chips cost £18.05.
An image posted on the Twitter account Footy Scran in December 2021 showed a burger and chips at the Emirates that cost a whopping £18.05
An image of the menu at the Emirates followed to show proof that the prices weren’t a hoax
A picture of the £18.05 burger and chips showed it came served up on a card platter with two slices of cheese, a bit of bacon and a slice of tomato.
On the other end of the price spectrum, Twitter account ‘Footy Scran’ compiled some of the more wallet-friendly offerings at stadiums around the country – including a Lebanese chicken flatbread at Barnsley (£5), pigs in blankets at Oxford City (£3.50). And Altrincham F.C.’s pie, chips, peas and gravy meal (£5).
