Fans blast Arsenal for charging nearly £13 for portion of chips at Emirates Stadium

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.

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.'

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.

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).
