Loyal Premier League football fans have been forced to pay more for their season tickets despite the cost-of-living crisis - with some hit with 20 per cent price rises.
14 of the 20 top-flight clubs announced hikes in the cost of an adult season ticket for 2023-24, with just four freezing prices.
Despite the Premier League being awash with sponsorship and television revenues, several clubs claimed the raised costs of putting on matches left them with no choice but to charge supporters more.
Nottingham Forest fans have most cause to be aggrieved with some season ticket costs rocketing by 20 per cent - with a new price structure penalising younger fans - despite the club only just avoiding relegation.
