Furious West Ham fans brand price of burger at ground ‘robbery’ and ‘a scam’
FURIOUS West Ham fans have cried foul at being charged £9.50 for a small hamburger.
They hit out on the back of the Premier League club’s beer price row.
Pricing at the Hammers’ London Stadium home was branded “robbery” and a “scam” by their supporters online.
The burger doesn’t even come with chips.
Fans had already complained at being charged £7.60 for a pint of Heineken and Birra Moretti lager and £4.50 for a bottle of Coca-Cola at the opening match against Manchester City last weekend.
Bars at the ground want £6.20 for a pint of alcohol-free Heineken and £7.30 for a pint of Strongbow cider.
