Why Manchester City are the ‘best value’ club when it comes to goals

While it is possible to have a thrilling 0-0 or a boring 2-2 in football, goals often equal entertainment. And according to a new data study, Manchester City season ticket holders have the best value for money tickets in England’s top-flight.

Pep Guardiola’s side scored 15 goals in just six Premier League home games this season, meaning that those with the cheapest available City season ticket are paying the equivalent of just £6.70 per goal.

The Etihad outfit’s cheapest season ticket this season was available for just £325, which is just £5 more than the lowest priced at West Ham United.

The Hammers are City’s closest competitors in terms of value for money, with Irons fans with the cheapest tickets ‘paying’ £8.90 per goal so far this season, while the remainder of the Premier League fans all pay more than £10.

Meanwhile, rivals Manchester United have managed just 10 goals in the same number of home games, meaning that fans at Old Trafford are currently ‘paying’ £16.80 per goal.

It could be worse for the Red Devils, however, as Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing form in front of goal and expensive season tickets mean that fans of the north London club have ‘paid’ £42.47 per Premier League goal so far this season, as shown by the graph.
