A BBC survey has revealed that the cheapest season ticket at Swindon Town - costing £310.50 - is 9 per cent more expensive than the average in League One.

The BBC Price of Football study also showed that Town fans paid £8 per home goal, based on last season's results and prices, the tenth lowest cost of a goal in the division.

Across the country, the study, which analysed how much fans are charged at 207 clubs, found that the average price of the cheapest tickets across English football has risen at almost twice the rate of the cost of living since 2011.

The average price of the cheapest match-day ticket from the Premier League to League Two is now £21.49, a rise of 13 per cent since 2011, compared to a 6.8 per cent rise in the cost of living. Year-on-year costs are up 4.4 per cent, the study found, more than treble the 1.2 per cent rate of inflation.

The BBC Price of Football study is in its fourth year and is the largest study of its kind in Britain, and analyses ticket prices, the price of replica shirts, pies, programmes and a cup of tea.

Some of the key findings in the report showed:

  • Arsenal have the most expensive match-day ticket in the Premier League at £97, down £29 on last season
  • The Gunners also have the most expensive season ticket in the top flight at £2,013. Their cheapest season ticket is £1,014
  • Manchester City have the league's cheapest season ticket at £299, which is cheaper than at 15 Championship clubs, 10 clubs in League One, four in League Two and even one in the Conference
  • Charlton's £150 season ticket is the cheapest in England's top four divisions, but is not too cheap when compared to Barcelona's cheapest season ticket, which is priced at around £103
