Fan's rage at £8 Cup burgers

FANS sent an angry “Burger Off” message to Wembley chiefs last night over sky-high food prices at the FA Cup Final.

Supporters are set to be charged £4.50 for a pie, £3.90 for a hotdog, £8 for a burger meal and £1.80 for water.

Chelsea and Man Utd fans are now threatening to join forces to snub the “outrageous” prices.

Organisers of the Wembley Boycott Campaign say prices are being hiked up to claw back the massive overspend on the stadium.

Football Supporters Federation spokesman Steve Powell said: “It is the last straw. Fans should bring sandwiches.”

The group are also protesting at ticket prices which start at £35 and rise to £95.

Wembley managing director Alex Horne defended the food prices saying: “We are talking about an Aberdeen Angus pure beef burger with cheddar cheese.”

Pies at Premiership matches cost about £2 and burger meals around £4.
