Steak and ale pie, mash, gravy and peas at Stockport County for £5.50 💷
Proper filling, proper gravy and a decent amount of mash for under a sixer. Plenty of grounds charge more than that for a soggy pie on its own.
Chicken tikka, chips, curry sauce and salad at Aston Villa 💷 £12.99
That's a proper heap of chicken piled on top, not a few token bits hiding under the chips. Not cheap, but for football grub this is a lot more than a sad pie and a lukewarm Bovril.
Christmas dinner in a bowl at Newcastle United: festive loaded fries with pigs in blankets, chicken, stuffing and cranberry sauce piled on chips & gravy.
💷 £9.80
That's a proper bit of matchday scran for under a tenner, and the pigs in blankets alone make it worth the queue. Far better than another lukewarm pie at half-time.
Barnsley have gone full festive early 🤩
Yorkshire pudding wrap 💷 £8.95
Pigs in blankets with gravy 💷 £4.95
That wrap is packed with sausage, meat, stuffing and cranberry sauce, so £8.95 for a full Christmas dinner you can eat in your seat is decent value by football ground standards. Get both and call it a proper matchday 🤝
Double chicken burger with cheese at Newmarket Town for £7.50 💷
Two breaded fillets and that much melted cheese pouring down the sides, served on a paper plate with a stack of napkins. That's a proper matchday feed, and a fair price for something that'll keep you going through both halves.
Philly cheesesteak at Sheffield Wednesday, yours for £5 💷
That's a proper slab of steak rather than the usual thin shavings, and for a fiver at the football you can't really grumble. Might not pass in Philadelphia, but it'd do me at half-time.
A slice of bread spread with lard, topped with onions and a dusting of paprika, served up at MTK Budapest 🇭🇺
350 huf (80p). Simple, cheap and probably more filling than half the stadium food at home.
A sausage loaded with sauerkraut, roasted onions and Ajvar at Malmö IP 🇸🇪
62 SEK (£5) for something that size, hanging off both ends of the bun. Hard to argue with that.
A sausage, a slice of bread and a beer at FC Hlucin (Czech Republic), with a dollop of mustard on the side and the evening sun over the pitch.
🇨🇿 110 koruna (£3.80) for the lot. Hard to argue with that.
Winchester City FC serve up the sally special: a double cheeseburger with sausage and bacon stacked on top.
💷 £9
The bun's barely holding the lid on that lot.
Two options on the menu at Scunthorpe United: salt and pepper chicken with curry sauce and rice, or a doner kebab with chips, pitta and chilli sauce.
£6 each 💷 Proper portions for that money, and both beat a soggy pie.
Christmas dinner on a bed of chips at Leeds United (@LUFC) – turkey, pigs in blankets, stuffing and gravy, all loaded on top.
💷 £7.50
For that price, it's a proper festive feed.
£14.00 gets you this box of Greek treats near St Mary's Southampton 💷🤤
Pitta, halloumi, chips, tzatziki, Greek salad and two types of meat in one box. That's a proper pre-match feed.
A kebab platter at GIF Sundsvall for 99kr 🇸🇪 (£7.90).
Meat piled high, chips, salad, both sauces and a wooden fork to tackle it with. That's a proper bit of matchday scran for under eight quid.
Huddersfield Town doing roast potatoes with a beef brisket gravy 🥔
💷 £4.50, or £7.50 with a pint
Proper chunks of brisket in that gravy too. Plenty of clubs charge more for a lot less.
Aston Villa's chicken tikka with chips, curry sauce and salad, courtesy of @ThePanjabiGrill (@AVFCOfficial) 💷 £12.99
A proper loaded tray that'll actually see you through the 90 minutes. Not cheap, but you're getting plenty of chicken for it.
A full breakfast of sausage, bacon, beans and black pudding, all packed into a pie at Livingston FC - 💷 £2.50
Look at the layers on that. Two and a half quid for the lot is a proper bargain.
A Matjes roll at FC Hansa Rostock: salt cured herring stuffed into a bun with lettuce and onion.
💶 €3 (£2.50)
Folded fish, skin on, in a roll. Proper Baltic football food, and a lot more interesting than another sad pie.
